One of the three clubs in Spain, which has never left the top league in history, left the European competition zone in the last championship and took the final 11th place in the standings. It should be reminded that the team is played by footballers who are related to the Basque Country and this is the hallmark of the Lions. The start of the new championship can be called successful at a stretch. In 15 rounds of the current La Liga tournament, the “red-whites” won five victories and drew three times, which brought 18 points and 11th place in the standings. In December the Basques started with two defeats and a draw with Valencia (2:2), after which they beat Huesca (2:0). Last Tuesday Gaiska Garitano’s charges shared the tournament points with Villarreal (1:1). The effectiveness of the team’s attack line is 18 goals with the same number of goals conceded. Villalibrei Nolaskoain, who has a muscle strain, will not be able to take part in today’s fight.
Milwaukee is in a great fever at the start of the regular season. Mike Budenholzer’s charges cannot boast of stability and alternate victories with defeats. In the last game Adetokunbo and company left no chances for Miami, but before that they lost to the Knicks (110:130). At the moment, the “reindeer” have two victories and the same number of defeats. This allows them to be ranked sixth in the East. Despite the fact that Milwaukee often loses to Miami, in the last match in Florida they celebrated a landslide victory. Now the Bucks can increase this streak to two victories in a row.
