Decision game: Giessen 46ers demand Bochum's basketball surprise!

On Saturday evening at 7 p.m. there is a well -expected basketball game in the east hall, in which the Giessen 46ers meet VfL Sparkassenstars Bochum. This duel belongs to the Barmer 2nd basketball Bundesliga, and both teams are determined to improve their chances of the playoff places. Bochum has established itself as a surprise team this season after starting with an impressive series of eight victories in November and December.

However, Bochum experienced a dry spell with three defeats at the turn of the year. In January, however, they found the road to success again and won three victories in a row what they catapulted to third place in the table. The teams from Jena and Trier hold the top positions, while the main competitor from Gießen also strives to assert themselves in the upper half of the table.

strong appearance of Bochum and the challenge for Gießen

Giessen head coach Branislav "Frenkl" Ignjatovic has emphasized the urgency of a top performance against Bochum and warns against overestimating the 46-leg victory in December (98:81). Bochum wants to set the course for another victory with reinforcements such as top scorer Keith Braxton, who scores an average of 20 points per game. In particular, Bochum impresses with the best middle distance hit rate of the league with almost 60 percent and an aggressive defensive.

Ignjatovic emphasizes that Bochum will play freely and nothing is to be lost for her. In fact, they have earned the reputation of an unpredictable team this season. The home strength remains a decisive factor for the 46ers. The team also relies on the return of experienced players after Aiden Warnholtz and ex-captain Nico Brauner are available again. Warnholtz had had to pause because of an ankle injury since September, while Brauner returned from vacation.
