Real Madrid Baloncesto vs. FC Barcelona Bàsquet Prediction on February 27, 2025

Match info

Real Madrid Baloncesto and FC Barcelona Bàsquet were both regarded as Turkish Airlines EuroLeague title favorites not long ago. Fans of both teams now watch their matches on the edge of their seats because their beloved teams’ blades dulled, especially this season. It appears that both Real Madrid and Barcelona may not make it to the play-in. Because of this, the upcoming “El Clásico”, which is set to begin at 8:45 p.m. local time on Thursday, February 27 at Madrid’s WiZink Center, may decide whether or not both Spanish powerhouses will continue showing an average display in the regular season of the top men’s basketball club competition in Europe.

Meeting statistics

The current form of Real Madrid Baloncesto

With three straight losses in the EuroLeague, the team from the Spanish capital is currently in 11th place, and right now it doesn’t even qualify for the play-in round. It can be argued in their favor that they lost all of these games away from home. Real Madrid are doing fairly well on their home court, with nine victories and four losses. They average 89.5 points per game at home while giving up 85.

LSbet.com offers Real Madrid moneyline bets starting at 1.37. Let’s examine the performance of the “Los Blancos’s” rivals to see whether this offer is appropriate. All the best bookies for basketball have given rather short odds on the home side’s win.

The current form of FC Barcelona Bàsquet

First, we’ll state that the Catalans have won six of their 13 away games or nearly half of them. On the road, they score 85.5 points per game while giving up an average of 87 points. ASVEL managed to score a 100 against “Barça” a month ago. Baskonia then scored 88 points, and Olympiacos most recently scored 90 points, both in the Blaugrana.

Thus, Real Madrid’s over-total is theoretically quite plausible, and Barcelona’s defense is, to be honest, not very good. But this season, Real Madrid have never scored more than 74 points in regular time against Barcelona anywhere—neither at home nor away, neither in the EuroLeague nor the Liga Endesa. However, exactly the same can be said about Barcelona themselves. And now Kevin Punter is injured. Who’ll score points?

Head-to-head

This season, these two met twice and Real Madrid prevailed on both occasions, first in the domestic championship (73:71) and then in the EuroLeague (97:90 after overtime). In all, Barcelona are better in head-to-head. Out of 343 matches, they won 172, while Real Madrid were better in 168 matches. There were three draws.

Match analytics

Both teams are really underperforming this season. Both lack quality players. Both just disgraced themselves in the Copa del Rey de Baloncesto (the national cup) recently. We think the game will be even, and neither will gain a big advantage. We also don’t expect a lot of scoring.

Tip: Total (incl. OT) – Under 169.5, with odds of 1.90 on PlayFast Casino.
