The match kicks off on 28 December 2025 at 6:00:00 PM UTC (18:00 UTC); local time in Málaga (Central European Time CET) will be 19:00 on 28 December 2025.

The fixture is scheduled at Palacio de Deportes José María Martín Carpena in Málaga, Spain — an indoor arena with approximately 10,233 capacity and modern parquet court used regularly for Liga ACB and EuroCup matches; Real Madrid’s usual home is the 17,953-capacity WiZink Center in Madrid, so this is a true Unicaja home venue which favors Málaga’s crowd influence.

My prediction: Real Madrid to win with a projected moneyline around 1.42 and a predicted total points line near 168.5 — back Real Madrid in straight win for value given their recent defensive efficiency and depth, while a conservative alternative is Real Madrid -6.5 on the spread; implied probabilities and live odds should be checked closer to tip-off for the final market moves.

Head-to-head: In the last 10 competitive meetings between Real Madrid and Unicaja Málaga, Real Madrid lead the H2H with 7 wins to Unicaja’s 3, average total points around 170, and Real Madrid winning the most recent three encounters; historically Real Madrid dominate at the Palacio only sporadically, while Unicaja’s home wins have come when their perimeter trio hits over 40% combined from three.
