Saski Baskonia vs Real Madrid 27 October 2026 Prediction

Baskonia hosts Real Madrid in a Spanish derby in Round 8 of the EuroLeague regular season. Baskonia has won the teams’ last three competitive meetings, though Real Madrid won their September friendly by a wide margin. The game will be new Baskonia manager Velimir Perasovic’s first at home this season.

Baskonia Stayed Competitive Against Panathinaikos Despite Absences

Simmons and Duarte missed last round’s trip to Athens, and Sedekerskis was injured during the game. All three are uncertain for the Real Madrid matchup. Even without them, Baskonia pushed Panathinaikos before losing 85-79. Perasovic’s team sits last in the EuroLeague standings at 1-6.

Several rotation players contributed in Athens. Spagnolo scored 16 points and had four assists, while Joksimovic and Frisch also scored in double figures. Baskonia continues to struggle offensively, but its defense has improved under Perasovic.
