The Final Stretch of the EuroLeague: Here’s the Schedule for the Spanish Teams in the Last 10 Games
The EuroLeague is Heating Up!
Alright hoops fans, buckle up! The EuroLeague is hitting the home stretch, and it’s all about the Spanish teams trying to finish the regular season with a bang. After a little breather for some cup competitions across the globe, it’s all systems go until April 17th! This final push includes a total of 38 matches that will sort out which six teams will breeze into the playoffs, who’ll have to scrape into the play-in, and who’ll be looking forward to next season.
Spanish Teams in the Mix
In this thrilling race, Valencia Basket, Real Madrid, and Barca are shaking off the dust to dodge a play-in situation. However, the Kosner Baskonia has a hefty hill to climb to secure a spot—even with their recent title boost!
Checking Out the Schedules
Let’s break down the game schedules for our Spanish heavyweights as they look to make their mark in these last 10 encounters of the EuroLeague.
Valencia Basket’s Challenge
Valencia is looking at a pretty mixed bag in terms of difficulty. They’ve got five home games and five on the road, mixing it up with teams that are high-fliers in the top 10 and some that are scratching outside of play-in territories. Except for a showdown with Armani Milan, all their home games will be against direct rivals like Zalgiris (7th), Barca (5th), Olympiacos (2nd), and Panathinaikos (9th). Keeping that incredible home record of 12-2 intact is crucial for them to stay in the upper echelon!
Real Madrid’s Road Ahead
The Mavericks of Madrid have the most promising path laid out on paper among the top three Spanish teams. Out of the final ten games, six will be at home—a huge advantage considering Scariolo’s squad has a staggering home record of 12-1 (best in the EuroLeague!). Wonderfully weird is the fact that they will play five of their next six games at home before they hit the road to Vitoria, Athens, and Istanbul. If they play their cards right and end up in a good position, they could aim for the stars!
Barca’s Balancing Act
Barca also finds themselves in a moderately tough spot with five home and five away games throughout the remaining stretch. They’ll face off against four rivals who are outside the playoffs before rounding up the season against Bayern Munich. Expect some sweaty palms as they go toe-to-toe with stars like Estrella Roja, Zalgiris Kaunas, Panathinaikos, and AS Monaco in the closing weeks!
The Task for Kosner Baskonia
Then we have the Kosner Baskonia, who have a mammoth task ahead: recovering from a seven-win deficit in just ten games to try and squeeze into the play-in. If they win all their remaining games, they’d finish with a 19-19 record, which is a coin flip for playoffs in past seasons, but hey—no room for error here! The current cutoff stands at 16-12, and Baskonia will have to put on a show with six of their last ten games at the Buesa Arena.
