Niners Chemnitz will face EuroCup leaders Baskets Napoli on Wednesday, November 10, 2026, starting at 19:00 local time (UTC+1), as reported by mdr.de. Rodrigo Pastore’s squad enters the matchup sitting second from bottom in the Basketball Bundesliga with just two wins, while searching for a breakthrough victory following consecutive losses.
Can Chemnitz Upset Napoli?
The German club faces a stiff test against the undefeated Italian table-leaders. Napoli arrives in Saxony holding the second spot in Italy’s Serie A standings, having recently secured a dramatic 91-89 derby win over Scafati after erasing a 12-point deficit, according to mdr.de.
Chemnitz dropped a 90-99 decision to Rasta Vechta in domestic league action. In that contest, the team surrendered a promising position during the third quarter, a recurring issue that has plagued their campaign across both national and European competitions, mdr.de reported.
Why Is The Third Quarter a Problem?
The critical period has frequently undone the Sachsen side's hard work. Similar third-quarter collapses occurred during an 84-96 EuroCup defeat in Podgorica and the recent loss against Vechta, according to mdr.de records.
Conversely, the exact same quarter proved decisive in positive outcomes earlier in the autumn. Chemnitz used strong third-period performances to secure a 94-78 victory over Ludwigsburg in late October and a 96-77 triumph against Bourg-en-Bresse in European play, mdr.de noted.
How Did They Beat Bourg-En-Bresse?
On October 28, the French club traveled to Germany holding the top spot in the EuroCup standings. Chemnitz dismantled that momentum with a decisive team performance, mdr.de reported.
The Italian squad struggled mightily against Serie A strugglers Scafati over the weekend and fell behind during their 90-79 European victory against Trento the previous week, according to mdr.de.
