In the basketball Bundesliga, the teams from Medi Bayreuth and FC Bayern Munich will meet in the evening (April 6, 21, 7 p.m.). Upper Franconia are currently in ninth place in the league, while Upper Bavaria is third. The first round game in the Bayreuth Upper Franconia Hall at the end of January could clearly win the Munich team with 98:78.
Munich writes international basketball history
Munich is the favorite with a home advantage in the game, but has lost the last two games in the Bundesliga – including against the current penultimate Gießener. In contrast, FC Bayern only achieved a milestone in German basketball history last Thursday: With a narrow 71:70 win over Zalgiris Kaunas from Lithuania, Munich qualified for the Euroleague playoffs. A success that no German basketball team has ever achieved.
“We know that we are not the big favorites in this game. In order to have a chance, we have to scrape at the maximum playable” Raoul Korner, Bayreuth head coach
Dispute with coach: Bayreuth without Matt Tiby
However, Raoul Korner will do without Matt Tiby. After the game against Vechta last Saturday (May 3rd, 21st), the Power Forward expressed dissatisfaction with his coach about his role in the team. After five wins from the last six games, Korner was unable to show the individual dissatisfaction of the American and spoke a game-long pause for thought against Tiby, according to a message from the club.
