Real Madrid News, Injury Report, Schedule: Moving On From Fernandez and Rodriguez

Finalists in each of the last three Euroleague seasons, Real Madrid are nearing the end of a dynastic run. They were the best team throughout the regular season in 2023-24 but were pipped to the title by Panathinaikos. Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Rodriguez then retired in the offseason. Vincent Poirier and Guerschon Yabusele also departed, leaving numerous holes to fill on the roster.

As ever, expectations are sky-high in Madrid. Andres Feliz, Xavier Rathan-Mayes, Serge Ibaka, and Usman Garuba were the main off-season acquisitions, while Walter Tavares, Facundo Campazzo, and Dzanan Muza remain integral to the starting five.

Partizan News, Injury Report, Schedule: Obradovic Facing Challenges

Led by iconic head coach Zeljko Obradovic, Partizan had a disappointing 11th-placed finish in the EuroLeague last season. They were swept by Crvena zvezda in the 2023-24 ABA Finals after a 20-6 regular season record.

Wins over Borac, Spartak, and Cibona represent a strong start to the ABA campaign – they have the joint-best point differential in the league and are one of three teams with a 3-0 start.

While the team have been open about their aim of reaching the Final Four, it’s bound to be an up-and-down season. They haven’t been to the semis of the EuroLeague since 2010, and we’re not convinced that streak will end in 2025.

Real Madrid vs Partizan H2H: All Real

Real Madrid have won five consecutive games against Partizan. Each of their head-to-heads in 2023-24 saw the team from the Spanish capital win by double-digit points, which contributes to the 7.5-point spread for this game.

While Real are the most successful EuroLeague team of all time, Partizan have only won one title, which was way back in 1992.
