BCK vs RM Dream11: Real Madrid will entertain BCK Khimki in round-9 of EuroLeague 2019-20 season, with the hosts, as well as the visitors, looking to extend their good run with a win at WiZink Center.
Madrid had a phenomenal result last time around, as they beat eternal rivals Barcelona 86-96. The win must have tasted even sweeter for the Madrid fans considering that match kept the Catalan giant away from the top spot.
With the win, Madrid improved their season record to 5-3 from 8 games and now find themselves just one game away from the summit. However, consider the difference as two games due to Madrid’s poor win margin.
BCK Khimki, meanwhile, come into this game in red-hot form, having won three times in the last four EuroLeague games and seven times in all competitions. They have 6 wins from the first 8 games with only the inferior point difference keeping them away from the top spot.
