Real Madrid vs Partizan (Euroleague): odds and picks 15.10.2025

It’s a big game at the WiZink Center, with a gala atmosphere and a Real Madrid team that, in my opinion, has the edge in terms of depth and reliability in the middle of the court. With Scariolo, the team has improved defensively and in terms of ball movement: when Campazzo sets the pace and plays by the book, Madrid becomes almost unstoppable.

Partizan has talent on the perimeter and physicality on the wings, but suffers when it doesn’t control its own rebounds or goes through shooting droughts. If the game goes to long possessions and is decided in the clutch, I clearly favour the home team: inside advantage with Tavares and more solutions to score points without relying on the three-pointer.

Odds for the winner of the Real Madrid vs Partizan match

 (Reference odds; may vary until the time of the match)

Latest news on Real Madrid

Good start to the European campaign and growing confidence. Scariolo has emphasised defence, rebounding and ball distribution. At home, the team increases its intensity and pace of execution. The key is to protect the rebound and not concede free throws to prevent Partizan from gaining momentum.

Probable starting five and key players

• Facundo Campazzo (1)
• Sergio Llull (2)
• Mario Hezonja (3)
• Gabriel Deck (4)
• Walter Tavares (5)

Campazzo is the engine and compass; Hezonja, the scoring thermometer; Deck, the glue that provides balance; and Tavares, the one who changes games on defence. If he avoids early fouls, Madrid wins half the game. From the bench, Okeke and Lyles provide legs and outside shooting.

Real Madrid: breaking news

Theo Maledon has yet to make his Euroleague debut; Abalde remains on the sidelines and Procida is back in the rotation. Scariolo manages extensive rotations and can adjust roles on the perimeter according to the pace of the game. There are no serious absences to disrupt the plan.

Current situation in the Euroleague

Madrid is 2-1, solid at home (wins against Olympiacos and ASVEL). Their usual pattern: stronger defence after the break, control of the rebound and a balanced attack with a positive assist/turnover ratio. When the three-pointer is on target and Tavares dominates, they are championship calibre.

Latest news from Partizan

A team with personality and talent, although inconsistent. Carlik Jones is taking the helm, Marinković is contributing points, and Jabari Parker brings class and power at the four. Their big handicap: defensive rebounding and consistency at the back. Away from home, they lose their aggressiveness and pay for it on the scoreboard.

Probable starting five and key players

• Carlik Jones (1)
• Vanja Marinković (2)
• Isaac Bonga (3)
• Jabari Parker (4)
• Tyrique Jones (5)

Jones must set the pace and create opportunities; Marinković is a constant threat from outside; Bonga and Parker bring physicality and versatility. If Parker finds his place against defensive changes and Tyrique wins the physical battle with Tavares, the Serbs will have a chance to keep up.

Partizan: breaking news

Shake Milton is still being treated with kid gloves and Mario Nakić remains sidelined. Obradović has sought alternatives in Duane Washington Jr. and Sterling Brown, although the team relies heavily on the inspiration of its main trio. There are no serious medical developments, but the rotation is short.

Current situation in the Euroleague

2-1 record, with good wins against Efes and a remarkable performance in the ABA. Away from home, they drop a point in defensive intensity and rebounding. Their goal in Madrid will be to avoid 8-0 runs and keep their outside shooting above 37%.

Latest clashes between Real Madrid and Partizan

The recent head-to-head record favours Real Madrid: five consecutive victories in official matches, including the 2023 playoffs. The pattern repeats itself: when Madrid controls the pace and the rebound, they win. If Partizan fires up the perimeter and runs, they balance things out, but they usually run out of steam in the final stretch.

Summary of key factors in this match

• Home court advantage (WiZink Centre): atmosphere and confidence for the Whites.
• Inside duel: Tavares and the rebound vs Tyrique Jones.
• Controlled pace favours Madrid.
• Visiting three-pointers: key to keeping the momentum going.
• Bench management: more depth for Madrid.
• Clutch: Campazzo and Deck offer more guarantees.
