Eurocup » Top 16, R1
This should be very close game if you ask me, maybe decided at the end on last possession. So I'll gladly take the points with the road underdog.
What was common for these two sides is the fact they both were affected by the Covid 19. But unlike tge French side who had such problems early in the season, Buducnost was weakened in more recent period.
By the recent results, we could say both are struggling but somehow I think the host is the one who need to be much more worried. Bourg has lost few straight road games (Limoges and Dijon) but those weren't bad opponents and Bourg was underdog there.
Buducnost on the other side is the team who is coming from road loss in Split.
Very dissapointing game for them no matter the loss vame on a 3-pts buzzer beater. Cause Split is one of weakest in ABA league. And the weakest by form since they have lost six straight before beating Buducnost. Like small compare, even struggling Partizan has won in double digits in Split the round before.
Buducnost will look better now, that should be mentioned cause they have back Popovic in the roster but on the limited minutes. The real improvement could be in fact that center Willie Reed is back to the team after got suspended and missed two games. His suspension was for games in ABA.
On the club official site is also announced that head coach should be with the team after being absent due to Covid 19 situation.
