LiontipsReal Madrid vs Maccabi Tel Aviv. Euroleague match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
At the start of the season, Real lost too much. The Spaniards were handing out victories left and right. As a result, they paid with their place in the standings. Now the royal club is in seventh place. This is not the position that the team fans would like to see.
However, there is some progress in the actions of the Madrid team. The latest results give hope that the crisis is behind us. First, Real handled Bayern quite confidently (88:76), and then crushed Lithuanian Zalgiris (83:64). The Spaniards are approaching the confrontation with Maccabi with a 7-match winning streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Real Madrid has no personnel problems.
Interesting facts for betting
Real have won their last 11 home games against Maccabi. The last time the Spaniards lost at home to the Israelis was way back in 2014, when the Madrid team gave up the victory in overtime.
Probable line-up: Tavares – Ratan-Mayers, Campazzo – Ndiaye, Musa.

The Israelis can consider the current season a failure. Before the start of the regular season, all of Maccabi leaders left. They were unable to fully replace them. As a result, the team from Tel Aviv is demonstrating a disgusting game. At the moment, it has only five wins and is in the penultimate line in the tournament table.
Maccabi has suffered another setback in its recent matches. Last week, the Israelis lost to Milan Olimpia (74:107), and before that, they lost to Partizan (75:98).

1.80Tip and bets
Maccabi went into overdrive. The Israelis stopped paying attention to defense. Their last matches were productive, but the Israelis conceded too many. For example, they allowed Olympia to score more than 100 points.
Maccabi will have little chance of winning in Madrid. The Israelis are not ready to fight on equal terms with Real. They are not in the right form now, and traditionally perform poorly in the capital of Spain.
Our prediction is Real with a handicap of (-10.5) points for 1.80
