No absences reported.
ASVEL
No absences reported.
TacticsWe did not find a round 6 injury report from the EuroLeague or the clubs before publishing, so absences are not confirmed. Over the last five games Real Madrid's minutes are spread wide: Theo Maledon 22.8 a game (also the leader in assists, 5.2, and PIR, 20.6), Walter Tavares 21.8 and Facundo Campazzo 20.6, with nine players on 12 minutes or more. ASVEL lean on Jae Crowder (24.2 minutes), Patty Mills (21.1, their PIR leader at 14.8) and Tremont Waters (20.9). Both teams played on Tuesday, the second game of a double-round week.

| Source | Pick | Versus us |
|---|---|---|
| Sportsgambler | Real Madrid 93:76; their main pick is Real Madrid −13.5 | Other side |
Our positionWe agree on the winner, not on the margin. Our rating has Real Madrid about 10.5 points better at home, two points less than the line, and both meetings last season ended with an 11 or 13-point Madrid win.
No. 07 · Scenario & score
Real Madrid vs ASVEL predicted score
A Madrid win by around ten.
89:79 to Real Madrid is our main score. Last season's numbers still carry most of the weight five rounds in: Real Madrid were +4.9 points a game, ASVEL -7.3, and with home court that points to a Madrid win by about ten. Real Madrid's start has been uneven, and the three defeats came by 1, 10 and 4 points, so we do not expect a rout. 86:80 is the alternative, a closer game where ASVEL's guards keep it within single digits. ASVEL +13.5 wins with any Madrid win by 13 points or fewer and with any ASVEL win; it loses only if Madrid win by 14 or more.

ASVEL +13.5: why this pick wins
Why we back it
Real Madrid should win this game: they were 24-14 last season against ASVEL's 8-30, they are at home, and they have won their last two. We expect a margin around ten, not a rout. Madrid's own start has been patchy, their three defeats were all close, and ASVEL have already won in Paris and beaten Maccabi. Last season's two meetings ended 85:72 and 80:69. We expect 89:79.

No. 09 · Arguing against ourselves
What could beat our pick?
Why our pick could go wrong.
- ASVEL concede 92.2 points a game and lost by 23 in Athens and by 13 at home to Valencia: a heavy defeat is possible.
- Real Madrid beat ASVEL by 13 in Madrid last season, 85:72, right on the edge of this line.
- The line expects a Madrid win by about 13 and the Sportsgambler preview by 17; our rating is the more cautious view.

FAQ
What does Analysis mean?
Our full analysis of the match and the result we expect, without a bet.
How do you choose a pick?
We start from the market, then check a statistical model, named previews and our own scenario test against everything that moves the result: lineups, rest, motivation, style and team news. We publish when at least three of the four agree and the pick wins in the main scorelines. A warning sign, such as a back-up goalie or tired legs, moves us to a safer market or leaves the match as analysis only.
Can a prediction change after publishing?
No. The pick, odds and time are locked when published. Updates go into the log above.
