After Würzburg (71:81) and Bamberg (89:79), the goal is again Franconia. The opponent from the Niners on Wednesday evening: medi Bayreuth.
Chemnitz – Will the Niners follow up after their convincing performance on the previous matchday on Wednesday, 8.30 p.m.? Coach Rodrigo Pastore’s team is traveling for the third time in a row. To Würzburg (71:81) and Bamberg (89:79) the goal is again the Franconia. The opponent: medi Bayreuth.

The two clubs, who already know each other from numerous second division duels, faced each other three times in the BBL. The Niners all went away empty-handed. Do they knock over the goat in the Oberfrankenhalle?
The chances are good, even if Pastore warns: “In the current, almost complete formation, Bayreuth is a very serious opponent.”
However, who is currently in a low form, has only won five of the past 20 competitive games and has been waiting for a win since mid-February.

“The 72-86 defeat in the first leg alone teaches us that Bayreuth shouldn’t be taken lightly,” stressed Pastore.
The Argentinian played for Bayreuth for two years in the 90s and still enjoys great sympathy there. The same goes for Marcus Thornton. The American, in his first BBL year in the Niners jersey, did well in his new job and averaged 13.4 points per game.
