Interview with Heffingen’s head-coach Daniel Brandao –> Daniel Brandao: „Our confidence increases with every win”
3 teams are still unbeaten and will try to avoid a first loss this Saturday. T71 will host Racing ( live stream by rtl –> LINK_LIVE_STREAM ) in an exciting matchup. With only 1 professional player, Racing is the clear underdog in evey game against the stronger teams in the league so that a win in Dudelange would be a big upset.
Another unbeaten team is Etzella that will play on the road in Stadtbredimus against the Musel Pikes. Under normal circumstances, this would be a 50:50 game, but the Pikes have struggled so far and they only played with 1 professional player so that Etzella is the favorite entering this game. Henry Pwono has made himself a name early this season and the Pikes will be challenged to slow him down.
The third unbeaten team is Basket Esch. They are facing a tough challenge in Walferdange. Jackson-Cartwright is coming of a 40-point-performance and wants to keep his team’s winning streak alive. Résidence has earned 2 wins in 3 games and clearly has the ambitions to win its home games against any team this season.
The 3rd winless team is Sparta Bertrange. In their home game against Contern, the team of coach Pascal Meurs is already facing some pressure as it will be difficult to stay in reach for the play-off-spots when the losing streak continues. Contern has won 1 out of 3 games and could be in a good situation with a road win.
