BBL:Bamberg vs Skyliners -by ghost

This is the 5th and the game that wll decide everything in the final encounter between Bamberg and Frankfurt, the current result is ofc 2-2 with Bamberg unexpectedly losing the first game at home 63-65, but in the second game at home they showed their class and took a comfortable 97-52 victory after dominating throughout the whole game, and I expect Bamberg to come with another inspired effort at home to take the win in the most important game in this season. After Alba, Oldenburg and Bonn unexpectedly all dropped out in the quarter-finals, Bamberg is the biggest favorite to take the title in this season, Bamberg is playing in an amazing form at the moment, they took a 3-0 win against Bonn in the quarter-finals, and then a 3-0 victory against Braunshweig in the semi-finals as well, so they will look to continue with great performances and to make another great effort in the game that has huge importance. Bamberg is one of the best home teams in the league, they have thrashed their opponents in the regular season and in the play-offs as well on their hot court, they will have a huge home crowd support, which would only give them even more motivation to take the title and participate in the Eurolegue in the next season. They clearly have the edge in quality and experience over their rivals, but they know that they need to come with a very serious approach into this encounter, they surely won’t underestimate their opponents and make the same mistakes like Alba did in the quarter-finals against Frankfurt, Bamberg will come very focused and concentrated in this game, they will play very motivated and with high confidence after great results recently, and in these circumstances I just don’t see Frankfurt beeing able to oppose them today.

On the other hand, Frankfurt is playing in a pretty good form as well at the moment, but in the quarter-finals against Alba they really played over their potential and they had incredible shot-percentage, but I really think that this team just doesn’t have enough quality and experience to be a serious threat to Bamberg in this encounter. It just seems that Frankfurt has run out of steam a little, they barely managed to defeat Bremerhaven in the semi-final encounter with a 3-2 result so they should be a little tired, if not physically than emotionally for sure, and in these circumstances huge pressure will be on this not that experienced team and they will really struggle to find a way to deal with it. Frankfurt can occasionally make a decent performance away from home, but they have already showed in the regular season that they don’t have what it takes to oppose Bamberg on their court, and I don’t think that they will be able to change something for this game against a team that possesses such high quality and experience like Bamberg does, they did take a win in the first game on Bamberg’s court, but that was only because Bamberg lost all concentration and rhythm in the final quarter, and I just cannot see the same scenario happening again. So all in all, I expect Bamberg to come focused and determined to take the win today, they are playing with high confidence and are very motivated in every game, they have the superior quality and experience in this game, Frankfurt just won’t have enough strenght and quality to oppose them for one more time, I really doubt that they will be able to make another good performance away from home in this encounter, and in this case I think that Bamberg will be able to take an important victory here with another great and inspired performance to take the well deserved title.
