Alba Berlin Team News
The team from Berlin is going to defend the title of the German championship, and they have a very difficult task ahead of them. In addition to Bayern, which has been their biggest competitor for many years, this season Bonn also performed well, finishing first in the regular season. Alba ran into a real “mine” in the first round of the playoffs, which is the Ulm team, which is playing top basketball this season, especially in the second part of the season.
Alba is an atypical team compared to all the teams in Europe. They have not given up their style of play for years and it brings results. But this season, injuries prevented them from achieving better results. This is a team that plays at the fastest pace in Europe. The most efficient team is the one that scores points in the first 5 seconds of the attack. They run behind the opponent a lot and shoot for three points. The main problem was the defense, but they have improved that a lot lately.
Ulm is a team that suits them stylistically and that they have won often lately. However, Alba has recently had major problems with injuries, which can be an aggravating circumstance in this matchup.
Ulm Team News
Anton Glavel’s team had a bad start to this season, but during the season they added two very important players to their team in the form of Cabocl and Paul, who brought the necessary experience. They were eliminated from Turk Telekom in the Eurocup after a big turnaround where they were in the lead for 35 minutes, while in the German championship, they finished in seventh place, which is realistically a much worse position than they deserve.
The Ulm team is playing excellent basketball this season, above all “watchable” and attractive. They force offensive basketball with a large number of three-point shots and play in transition. The team is led by the Brazilian duo Yago and Bruno Caboclo. Idle pace and minutes when both defensively and offensively are non-existent are the biggest problems of the Ulm team this season. They knew that they were squandering a 20-point advantage in the quarter, but they also knew that they would come back from a big deficit and win.
If Alba allows them to spread out and get into a shooting rhythm, the hosts will be in big trouble. All players except Caboclo have three-point range, and they are very powerful and potent athletically.

Alba Berlin vs Ulm Prediction
Alba is certainly the favorite, but Ulm has shown throughout the season that it is a very dangerous opponent for all teams, both in the German premiership and in the Eurocup, so we think that they will provide solid resistance to the Euroleague from Berlin, and why not surprise them?
