While the BG Göttingen faltered in the home derby against the Basketball Löwen Braunschweig, Medi Bayreuth celebrated a successful start to the games of 2022: Bayreuth won the Franconian derby at s.Oliver Würzburg with 88:80 and is now the first team with a negative balance of points in tenth place in the table of the basketball Bundesliga. On Wednesday at 7 p.m., head coach Raoul Korner’s team will host the Veilchen.

The victory in Würzburg was all the more important for the upcoming BG opponents as the omens for the Franks before the game were rather bad: The Korner team had left the floor as a loser three times in a row and the personnel situation had deteriorated due to the captain’s injury-related loss worsened again: Bastian Doreth had torn a capsule in his foot in the game against Alba Berlin and had to pass in Würzburg just like Andreas Seiferth and Janari Jöessar.

It was unclear until the very end that the game even went on, because Würzburg put positive corona tests on. Finally, in addition to head coach Sasa Filipovski, the players Albus, Böhmer, King and Buford were missing – a considerable weakening. According to reports, both clubs wanted to reschedule the game, but a request to that effect was apparently rejected by the BBL. “All the players have a very queasy feeling. Both sides really want to postpone the game! League decision. We still have to play! “, Bayreuth’s national player Doreth vented his anger on Instagram.

The use of Doreth in the game against the violets is “highly unlikely”, it says on the Medi homepage. The Bayreuthers’ best point collector is Forward Sacar Anim, who averages 13.1 points per game (for comparison: Göttingen’s Kamar Baldwin is still second among the best BBL scorers with 18.5 points). Under the basket, the BG has to deal with the 2.08 meter tall Lithuanian center Martynas Sajus, who occupies third place in the BBL with an average of 7.7 rebounds.

In the first two places of the Bundesliga statistics, the opponents of the game ranked on Wednesday with the accurate distance shooters: 40.7 percent of all three-way attempts by the BG find their way through the trap – top value in the league. Bayreuth follows in second place with a value of 38.5 percent.
