While the women’s national team is in action this week (Thursday and Sunday), the men will play a double game day before entering a break on their own as the men’s national team will compete in the EuroBasket 2025 pre-qualifiers.
A full game day on Friday and on Sunday means high intensity and burden on the teams.
Games on Friday:
20:00 Heffingen – Arantia
20:30 Sparta – Basket Esch
20:30 Telstar – Musel Pikes
20:30 Contern – Etzella
20:30 Résidence – Racing
20:45 Amicale – T71
T71 will play with 2 new professional players as the club reacted to the poor start into the season. It will be very interesting to see what impact both players can have in their first 2 games with the team.
The derby between Heffingen and Arantia is a game between 2 teams that have a great position with the same record (6:3). Clearly both teams do not want to fall behind their neighbor in the standings.
As the last team in the standings, the Musel Pikes face pressure to win in Hesperange against a team that will enter this game with a lot of confidence after strong performances over the last weeks.
The top game is clearly the one between co-leaders Sparta and Basket Esch, the two clubs are two out of 4 teams with 7 wins after 9 games, which team will stay on top of the standings? That is the main question this weekend in the LBBL.
Games on Sunday:
16:15 Basket Esch – Amicale
17:00 Racing – Sparta
17:15 Etzella – Heffingen
17:30 Arantia – Résidence
18:00 Musel Pikes – Contern
18:00 T71 – Telstar
