Pure excitement in the derby: Trier against Koblenz - who celebrates victory?
The tension increases! On Sunday, October 6, 2024, the VET-Concept Gladiators Trier will meet the EPG Guardians Koblenz in the third derby of Barmer 2nd Basketball Bundesliga. This encounter not only has sporting value, but also a personal touch, because Marco van Denberg, who was once a coach of the Trier, sits on the Koblenzer bench.
The balance of the previous duels shows an exciting head-to-head race. While the Gladiators clearly won the first encounter with 84:68, the second leg in Koblenz ended very narrowly with 63:66 in favor of the Guardians. So far, both teams have not celebrated the hoped -for successes in the current season, each with a defeat and a victory in the first games.
changes in the squad of the Guardians
The Koblenzers have reorganized for the derby. The Power Forward Bryce Workman was taken out of the squad and with David Böhm a new player who will make his debut at the derby. Point Guard Cockfield has also turned out to be a strong offensive strength, with impressive 24 points on average in the first games of the season.
Schneider makes it clear that his team is well prepared and the aggressive defense of the Koblenzer is a challenge. To be successful, his team has to act physically strongly and controlled.
