Basketball start into the new year: pure excitement in Bamberg and Weimar!

On Sunday, January 10, 2025, exciting encounters are imminent in the basketball regional league. The TTL Bamberg welcomes the USC Leipzig in the "blue" at 6 p.m., while TSV Tröster Breitengüßbach will compete against Culture City Weimar on Saturday at 3 p.m. This matchday marks the first games of the new year for the two Bamberg teams.

TSV Breitengüßbach goes into the game against Weimar as the league leader after winning 11 out of 12 games this season. The TTL Bamberg, as a pursuer in the table picture, has recently suffered two defeats in a row and urgently strives to win so as not to lose contact with the top. The turn for Bamberg is to be heralded with the game against USC Leipzig.

Current developments in the league

The upcoming encounter between Culture City Weimar and TSV Breitengüßbach promises to become a real summit. Breitengüßbach is currently taking first place with 22 points, while Weimar took second place with 18 points. As Culture City reported, the Breitengüßbacher won the first leg on November 2, 2024 clearly with 91:67. Trainer Farsin Hamze described the Breitengüßbach team as particularly strong because it has seven players with prob experience. Weimar has stabilized after a weaker start of the season and shows a positive development in the league.

After the game against Breitengüßbach, Weimar expects an away game on January 18, 2025 in Leipzig before the playoffs begin. Before that, however, the team must maintain its shape and continue to win to secure the place in the upper half of the table. The heated encounters on the coming matchday promise to captivate the audience and could be crucial for the further course of both teams.
