Who will become the champion of the German basketball league BBL 2023/2024: preview
[ad_1]
The regular season of the elite German basketball championship started at the end of September this year, and this part of the tournament will end in May 2024. There are 18 clubs participating in the competition, which will play each other twice and will play 34 rounds in total. The first eight teams in the standings at the end of the regular championship will advance to the playoffs, and the teams that took 17th and 18th place will be relegated to the division below.
According to bookmakers, the top three contenders for the BBL league championship include the following teams: Bayern Munich, Alba Berlin and Ratiopharm Ulm. By studying the form of these clubs in detail during the current season, you will be more likely to predict who will lift the trophy this season.
Bavaria
Pablo Lazo’s boys are not performing very consistently on the domestic scene this season. After nine matches played, the Munich club was in sixth place in the standings. Alba from Berlin, fifth, Bayern was behind on additional indicators, and sixth Hamburg and eighth Vechta were one win ahead and had a game in hand. Having suffered three defeats from Oldenburg, Braunschweig and Bonn on the road, the “red-whites” won six victories. On their home court, the Bavarians look confident, but on the road, the brainchild of Herbert Hainer needs to improve.
The Bavarians have won the BBL league five times in the club’s history, but the last time they did so was in the 2018/2019 season. Since then, the Munich club has not had much success, but under the leadership of an experienced Spanish coach, who coached Real Madrid for 11 years, Vladimir Lucic and his partners have a chance for gold.
