Baskonia against all odds has won the Liga ACB last season beating Barcelona 67-69 at the final. But this season the Basks will have to make it through without their key player Tornike Shengelia who has signed to CSKA Moscow. Luca Vildoza will try to fit in Shengelia's shoes for Dusko Ivanovic's side.

Baskonia will try to win a back to back home title and get in Euroleague's play-offs, but they seem to be much weaker this season. 
In the Spanish league, their record is 3-0 and their last game they beat Estudiantes 84-86 in a close game.

Real Madrid will be considered among the teams to win this year's title. The Spanish side have all their key players and the only question is if their star guard Campazzo will join the NBA. Pablo Laso is delighted to be the head coach of one of league's most talented teams.

In the Spanish league, Real Madrid have made an excellent start. Their overall record is 3-0 and they didn't have any problem to smash Joventut Badalona 64-87 in their last game.

Real Madrid seems to be in great form even though it's early season and we expect them to prevail tonight.

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Baskonia v Real Madrid 5-5.

Baskonia's small forward Giedraitis has one of the fastest shooting releases in the league. He is a constant threat to every defense. He has to be watched all the time. And the player to do that from the Madrid side will be Rudy Fernandez. Rudy is not just an amazing scorer. He is also a great defensive player, intense enough to collect steals and force his opponent to take off-balance shots. Their match up may be crucial for the final winner.
