Bourg Team News
The Bourg team is perhaps the most pleasant surprise this season. They play attractively with a lot of points and a lot of possession.
The team led by Frederic Fauthoux relies mainly on domestic players, with the addition of a few foreign players who make a difference. The leaders of this team are James Plamer and Jordan Floyd, who have all the freedom in the attack and are the best scorers on this team. In addition to them, some local guys are doing a great job, especially in defense of Franz Massent, Isiah Mike, and Pierre Pelos. Bourg played a lot of equal endings this season, most of which they won, and because of that, they are playing with great confidence.
In the EuroCup, they are in first place in Group A, with a score of 6:2. In the last match, they were defeated away by Ulm, where they received 110 points. The most efficient player in that match was Floyd with 23 points, while on the weekend in the French championship they defeated Gravelines with a difference of eight points and scored 90+ points in that match.
Cedevita Olimpija Team News
After six defeats in a row in the Eurocup, Cedevita defeated Ulm and achieved its first victory in the Eurocup. They signaled their way out of the crisis with a victory in the Derby against Partizan, where they achieved their biggest win of the season. But they returned to factory settings again with a defeat against Brescia in the last Eurocup round. Although they had +7 with three minutes to go, as well as a couple of situations to go to a double-digit difference, Cedevita managed to squander that advantage and lose the match against Brescia. The best game was played by Edo Muric, who scored 23 points, but even that was not enough.
Jurica Golemac is still the coach of Cedevita Olimpija, and he is the coach who has been replaced the most by the media in the last couple of years. But still, he remains on the bench of Cedevita, and it is obvious that the management trusts him. This season, Cedevita made a very high-quality and experienced team, and they added a couple of young and talented players. However, everything revolves around the play of the Americans Yogi Ferrell and Josh Adams, who get the most help from Zoran Dragic, who is the most useful and dangerous ball-handler in the team, in addition to the swept duo. Everyone shoots except Omic and Matkovic, and the role of these two is not particularly defined. They mostly serve as jumpers, since there is no special insulation for them.
As for the ABA League, Cedevita defeated SC Derby in the last match with a 30-point difference, and once again they showed what offensive arsenal they have in their roster. Ferrel scored 16 points and Alibegovic 15 points.

Even though this is a duel between the first and last placed team of group A, even though Bourg is an excellent host, we believe that Cedevita can surprise the host in this match. And a handicap of 9 points is more than tempting.
