Another double weekend is ahead in the women’s and men’s LBBL, it is the second one of the current season. 11 games on Friday and 11 games on Sunday, a lot of basketball will be played over the next days.
In the men’s league, 5 teams are currently « on top » of the standings with the same record (4 wins, 1 loss). On Friday-evening, Basket Esch will host Heffingen in the top game as both teams are under the top 5 at the moment, both teams lost their first game of the season last weekend so that they want to avoid a 2-game losing streak. Teams with the most pressure are clearly the two winless teams from Steinsel and Stadtbredimus. Amicale will have a chance at home to grab a win against Racing, a team that has only one win so far. Amicale will play with a new professional player as Jarvis Williams was signed by the team during the week, he replaces Rudolphe Joly according to the newspaper Wort. Williams played for Black Star and Sparta Bertrange in Luxembourg before. The Musel Pikes face a tough challenge at home against Etzella but they will have 2 professional players as they signed Chris Flemmings during the week. Arantia (3:2) will have a great chance to put more space in the standings between them and T71 (2:3).
