BG Göttingen on the hunt for the first win of the season against Chemnitz!

BG Göttingen on the hunt for the first win of the season against Chemnitz!

The basketball Bundesliga is facing an exciting duel! On Sunday at 3 p.m. the BG Göttingen will meet Niners Chemnitz, and the signs could hardly be more different. While the Göttingen pulled into the battle after a restful break, Chemnitz had to accept a bitter defeat in the Champions League. With a disastrous 59: 105 against Baxi Manresa, the hope of the group victory has been severely steamed.

The Niners, which are slowly catching in the Bundesliga after a bumpy start, can look at seventh place in the table. After initial defeats against Bavaria and Ulm, victories against Vechta, Alba Berlin and Rostock followed. But the shadows of the last bankruptcy in Spain have a hard time on the team of Coach Rodrigo Pastore. The statistics spoke volumes: 29 ball losses and a catastrophic first quarter with 11:26! The best scorer of the Chemnitzer, Deandre Lansdowne, did not help with his 15 points.

BG Göttingen On the hunt after the first victory

The Göttingen, on the other hand, are hungry for their first win of the season. Head coach Olivier Foucart has used the last few days to consolidate the team and integrate the newcomers Kostja Mushidi and Tra Holder. "We made it clear to the players that if the effort is not to be seen, they have no space in the team," explains Foucart. The intensive preparation should help to survive the pressure of the Chemnitz fans and to strengthen the defensive that has previously been struggling with 97 goals per game.

Both teams are closer than the first glances suggest. While the BG scores an average of 72.3 points, Chemnitz is 76.4. The key statistics remain the defensive: Chemnitz only approved an average of 75.6 points this season, while Göttingen is much more susceptible. The tension increases - Göttingen finally won the first victory? The basketball world looks forward to this duel!
