On Saturday, Nov. On 14, 2026, the EWE Baskets Oldenburg host ALBA Berlin at the EWE Arena for an easyCredit BBL matchup starting at 20:00 local time (UTC+1), as reported by Tipsterio.
Both teams enter the contest deadlocked in the league standings with 8:8 records after eight games. Oldenburg occupies the ninth position, while ALBA sits just behind in 11th place. Despite their identical records, the underlying statistics and recent forms point toward a fiercely contested battle in Lower Saxony.
Oldenburg recently snapped a five-game losing streak across all competitions with a narrow 74:72 victory against MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg on Nov. 8.
Le’Tre Darthard, described by his coach as the team’s top perimeter shooter, also returned to the rotation following a knee injury.
Oldenburg sits ninth in the BBL table with a minus-61 point differential, though 53 points of that deficit stem from a single 60:113 blowout against league leaders FC Bayern Munich. Having exited the BBL-Pokal, Oldenburg enjoys an uninterrupted week of preparation before hosting the Skyliners Frankfurt on Nov. 21.
ALBA Berlin arrives in Oldenburg carrying a dense schedule and an ongoing travel burden. On Nov. 10, the Berlin club suffered its first Champions League defeat, dropping a 75:83 decision to Surne Bilbao in Spain. In domestic play, ALBA holds a minus-12 point differential and is seeking its first away victory of the league season, having dropped previous road contests in Munich, Trier, and Bonn.
ALBA welcomes back guard Jack Kayil from a calf injury; Kayil recorded 10 points and eight rebounds against Bilbao. However, the visitors remain thin in certain areas, with Norris Agbakoko sidelined due to injury. Jordan Ford leads ALBA’s offense with 12.5 points per game, alongside Brandon Angel, while floor general Martin Hermannsson averages 6.2 assists.
For Oldenburg, the status of Tylan Pope remains uncertain following a disciplinary suspension stemming from an incident in Ulm. Meanwhile, guard Ja’Qualyn Gilbreath has returned to the squad from a foot injury, and center Demajeo Wiggins anchors the paint after playing in Ludwigsburg.
Historically, ALBA dominates the overall head-to-head series with 54 wins to Oldenburg’s 25 since 2001. Yet, the recent trend favors the hosts. Oldenburg secured victories in their last three Bundesliga meetings, including a 97:92 win in January 2025, a 76:73 triumph in January 2026, and an 81:79 away win in Berlin in April 2026. ALBA’s lone recent success in the fixture came via a 98:78 cup win in February 2026.
Tip-off is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at 20:00 local time at the EWE Arena in Oldenburg.
