Thanks to the two important victories last Sunday in Vechta and two days later at home against Syntainics MBC as well as ratiopharm Ulm’s defeat against FC Bayern Munich, the Würzburg Baskets have it back in their own hands: with three wins on the last three match days They secured fourth place and could ideally – depending on the results of the two teams in second place (Berlin) and third place (Chemnitz) – even gain one or two places at the end of a sensational main round with various club records.

One of the reasons is the best away record in the league together with leaders Munich: eleven wins compared to only four defeats in foreign venues. The Telekom Baskets Bonn want to prevent head coach Sasa Filipovski from filling the dozen early on Sunday evening, because if the Rhinelanders want to avoid the play-ins, they need one more win than Vechta in the final tally. Further scenarios with three-way and four-way comparisons are conceivable, but at least as things stand, they are rather unlikely.

At the same time, the hosts are aiming for revenge for the clear defeat in the first leg: in mid-December, the Würzburg Baskets started like fire engines in the “gymnastics hell”, were already in the lead with 34:16 after the first quarter and achieved a confident 97 :78 home win against Telekom Baskets. As a result, the Lower Franconians are just ahead with twelve to eleven wins after 23 BBL matches. They won five of eleven games in the Telekom Dome.

The Rhinelanders have won five of their last seven BBL games and made the play-ins clear in their last home game last Saturday: There was a clear 112:89 win against Rostcok. Thanks to their away win on Tuesday evening in Bamberg, they are now in 8th place and therefore have two chances of subsequent playoff qualification.

The game in the Telekom Dome is the start of three games within eight days on the home stretch of the BBL main round. Next Wednesday, May 8th, MLP Academics Heidelberg will come to the tectake Arena at 6:30 p.m., four days later they will go to the newly crowned Europe Cup winner Niners Chemnitz (Sunday, May 12th, 3:30 p.m.).
