AXE vs RM Dream11: Olimpia Milano will be under no illusion that their stuttering form is a big concern at this stage of the season when only a handful of matches remain in the regular season. The Italian outfit seemed to have a grasp over their destiny only a few weeks ago, but a bad run of form, where the team won only once in 8 rounds, robbed them of the comfort zone and they are now dangling outside the top-8, facing a one-game deficit. But due to their strong start to the season, they are still in a decent position and a good run should see them to the playoffs.
The old adage that is, “it’s easier said than done” hold true here as Milan prepare for one of the biggest tests in Europe’s Basketball circuit, playing hosts to Real Madrid at Mediolanum Forum and hoping to end a four-game skid.
Real Madrid are on a nine-game winning run in all competitions and have already lifted the season’s first trophy on offer, the Copa Del Rey after beating Unicaja 68-95 in the final. They are second on the current EuroLeague table with a 20-6 return on the season.
Head-to-head:
This fixture may have been played 15 times since 2000, but there’s only one team that has dominated this one, and there’s no surprise in that – Real Madrid. The Liga ACB giants have won 14 times in those 15 games, winning the last 10 matches.
