Cup fight in Braunschweig: Rasta Vechta wants to create a surprise!

The upcoming BBL Cup round of dialt between Rasta Vechta and the basketball Löwen Braunschweig on Saturday, October 12th, accuses Shadow of the current performance of the team from Vechta. The kick -off is at 8 p.m. in the Volkswagen Halle. A year after a memorable cup victory, when Rasta triumphed against the BG Göttingen a year ago in the round of 16, the team is among other signs.

The season started promising for the promoted Rasta, but the last games were shaped by four defeats in a row. Coach Martin Schiller now sees his team as a blatant outsider. "We have some personnel problems and a thin personnel ceiling. Joschka further has not trained for the past two weeks due to an infection, and Isaiah Cozart is also canceled. Nevertheless, we are ready to jump in the breach with young players like Luc van Slooten, and that counts for us," explains Schiller.

heartbeat final or clear edge?

The Braunschweigers should feel like a favorite against Rasta. The team of coach Jesus Ramirez recently had a convincing 89:59 win against Petrolina AEK from Cyprus in the Fiba Europe Cup. Rasta's former captain Chip Flanigan demonstrated his skills and scored 12 points and 6 rebounds. "It is something special to be part of a club with this history," said Flanigan after his debut in international competition.

Rasta, on the other hand, had to surrender unhappily in the European Cup with 86:88 against the favorite Greeks by Promitheas Patras. "We have shown that we are competitive despite the failures. Our attitude, struggling hard remains unchanged," said Schiller before the important knockout game. The Vechta fans show their support, because the fan club "Velcro fastener" has organized a trip to the Volkswagen Halle to mobilize around 100 supporters on site.

The upcoming encounter is not only another game in the cup, but could be crucial for both teams to recharge their mind and self -confidence for the upcoming league games.
