Oldenburg – Statistics & current form

The EWE Baskets are the favorites going into the quarter-finals against the MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg. Not only because Oldenburg scored more points than Ludwigsburg in the regular season, but also because the EWE Baskets are one of the strongest teams in the BBL at home.

If you consider how weak Ludwigsburg recently presented itself abroad, the only question that arises for our Oldenburg vs. Ludwigsburg tip is how big the victory of the EWE Baskets will be. Before the playoffs, Oldenburg regained their self-confidence with a home win against the FCB basketball team and thus increased their win rate in front of their home crowd.

Does Oldenburg present in the best-of-five series?

Since 2019/20 Oldenburg has not reached the semi-finals of the BBL playoffs. Last year, the fourth in the main round of the current season even stayed away from the playoffs and only finished eleventh in the regular season. The anticipation for the quarter-finals of the BBL playoffs this season is therefore all the greater.

With Ludwigsburg has a manageable hurdle in front of Oldenburg. This season, the two BBL clubs have already met three times – two league games and one cup game. The EWE Baskets won all three matches and are therefore also favored for Tuesday’s game.

Ludwigsburg – Statistics & current form

The MHP giants Ludwigsburg are represented in the BBL playoffs for the fourth time in a row. With the vice championship in 2019/20, Ludwigsburg had their best result so far in the German upper house. On the other hand, the MHP giants have lagged behind expectations in the last two seasons.

This is also the case this season, in which Ludwigsburg only won 19 of 34 matches in the main round. As expected, the MHP giants are going into the quarterfinals against EWE Baskets as the underdog, although their role as outsiders is sometimes also due to their recent form on foreign soil.

Ludwigsburg has lost the last seven BBL games away from home and is already abroad only with a meager record of 5-12. In four of these seven matches, the MHP giants conceded at least 90 points. It is quite possible that this negative trend will also continue against the EWE Baskets.

Doomed to fail abroad?

One of the twelve away bankruptcies that Ludwigsburg conceded this BBL season was at the season finale against Rostock. Although Josh King’s team put in a strong performance, their defensive deficits again prevented them from winning on foreign soil. The defeat was mainly due to the bad final quarter.

However, how the MHP giants will present themselves in Oldenburg remains uncertain. Almost two weeks ago, Ludwigsburg was already presented by the upcoming opponent as part of the BBL. A similar result would not be surprising this time either. Many points can be expected from the hit rates of both clubs – mind you, above the 60 mark.

Expected formation of Ludwigsburg:
Bahre – Bartolo – Dunn – Hubb – Miller
