Real Madrid-Leyma Coruña: going for the second home win of the week
Our team is back in league action at the Movistar Arena after beating Baskonia on Thursday (5pm CET).
Real Madrid welcome Leyma Coruña to the Movistar Arena for matchday 18 of Liga Endesa (The first match of the return fixtures in the competition). The objective is a fourteenth league win, a sixth in a row, and to maintain the current good form (5pm CET).
This afternoon's game will be the second game of the week for Chus Mateo's team, who beat Baskonia in the Euroleague last Thursday in an encounter that was decided in the last second with a three-pointer from Hezonja. In their last league game, Real Madrid moved up to second place in the standings with a win against MoraBanc Andorra.
They will face an opponent who sit bottom of the table and with six league defeats. So far this season, the Galician team has achieved four wins. They have recently reinforced their squad with former Madrid player Heurtel, although the point guard has not been called up for this game due to injury.
Only wins at home in the league
The home court factor will once again be decisive for Real Madrid in the Liga Endesa, where our home court continues to be impregnable for opponents this season. All nine games played at home have ended in victories.
