The defeat of Valencia against Olympiacos improves the options of Laso's team who will be in the quarterfinals if they win both games and could lose


With two rounds to go,

Real Madrid knows that if they win their two remaining commitments (Olympiacos and Fenerbahçe) they will be in the Euroleague playoff.

Tuesday's loss to Anadolu Efes (83-106) left Laso's men upset, but the outlook could have been a lot if Zenit had beaten CSKA, because they would not depend on themselves.

With Barça, Efes, CSKA, Armani Milan and Fenerbahçe already classified, there are three places available for five teams (Bayern, Baskonia, Madrid, Valencia and Zenit).

The Russian team and the taronja are the only ones that need outside help to qualify.

In the case of multiple draws,

Real Madrid has beaten the average against Zenit Saint Petersburg (+ 7 / + 4) and Bayern Munich (+ 18 / + 5)

and has

lost it with Baskonia (-13 / - 20) and Valencia Basket (-16 / -11).

The balance in direct confrontations between teams with the same number of victories is the first indicator to resolve multiple ties.

If the equality remains, the average between the tied teams would be used and if it persists, the general average in the regular season.

If it is still not resolved, the one with the most points this season will finish better positioned.

Real Madrid's options for quarters


Madrid win both games

He would be classified no matter what happened in the rest of the games.

Madrid win only one of the two games

He would get into the top eight in the event of a five-fold tie (Madrid, Bayern, Zenit, Valencia and Baskonia with 19 wins) or a four-fold tie with Zenit and Bayern involved (plus Valencia or Baskonia).

In the case of triple draws, it would depend on the available places.

He would have a fixed ticket if he draws 19 victories with Bayern and Zenit;

also if there were a triple draw with Bayern or Zenit involved and only one of the teams fighting for the last places (Bayern, Zenit and Baskonia) reached 20 victories.

Finally, if you win a match and at least two teams (between Zenit, Valencia and Baskonia), they do not reach 19 victories.

Madrid loses both games

It would get in if Valencia and Zenit did not win more this season.
