Both teams go into this encounter with the confidence of a very clear victory. The NINERS beat Ludwigsburg, currently in sixth place, by 18 points. The guests won at home with 72:53 against the Fraport Skyliners. It will be interesting to see who can prevail today!

A key duel could be in the center position. Since Darion Atkins, who gave Munich 21 points in the cup, will probably also be absent today due to a corona infection, Jonas Richter will probably have to start again from the start and will have to deal with the experienced and important big man Leon Radošević.

It is also known that the two coaches are good friends and follow similar defensive tactics. So Pastore and Trinchieri must have had some tactical thoughts.

Even if the guests are certainly going into the game as favorites, the already exciting starting position is further aggravated by a number of factors. Over the course of the season, the NINERS mutated into something of a nemesis for Bayern. The supposed underdog won both the first leg and the quarter-finals of the BBL Cup, which those reigning winners actually have to give up again this week, as the TOP FOUR for the BBL Cup will be played next weekend. In addition, the squad of the Trinchieri squad has thinned out a bit due to injuries and corona infections.

But it is also clear that Bayern do not want to give up pole position in the league. They only lost four of 20 games and with one game less they have a two-point lead over the first pursuer – the Baskets from Bonn. In addition, they have also been extremely strong and consistent in the last few weeks. Of the last ten matches they lost only those with FC Barcelona in the EuroLeague. After a balanced fight, Munich lost 66:71 away. Since then, it has been on a three-game winning streak.

The clash between these two teams should be a very interesting one. After 20 completed games, the NINERS are with a balance of 14 – 6, together with ratiopharm Ulm, in third place in the table and would not only slip to second place with a win, but also move up to two points against Bayern. Of course, the 2020 Pro-A champion, who is in extremely strong form and has won six of the last seven games, does not want to miss this opportunity.
