EWE Baskets Oldenburg on the verge of elimination: relegation battle escalates!

The EWE Baskets Oldenburg continue to fight in the bottom third of the Basketball Bundesliga. After another painful defeat, this time against the Würzburg Baskets 71:82, they are in 17th place with a record of 1:8. This eighth defeat of the current season means that the team has practically given up its chances of making the playoffs, as NWZonline reports.

The Oldenburgers' difficulties are not new. A consistently good game across all four quarters is missing. In the last match, the Baskets led 44:39 at halftime, but lost the third quarter by a clear 7:22. After the game, coach Predrag Krunic was disappointed with his players' performance in the second half. Würzburg's physical style of play in particular posed a problem for his team.

The situation is getting tricky

The Baskets' current situation is also tense due to injury problems, which increases the risk of relegation. Next Sunday we will play against the reigning German champions, FC Bayern Munich. An extremely challenging game that could be crucial for Oldenburg to turn things around.

On the positive side, the Baskets can look back proudly on their achievements in the cup. They have already won three times here and have qualified for the top four tournament. Their next opponent in the cup is none other than Alba Berlin, which is scheduled for February 21st.

Top performers and statistics

The coming period will be crucial for EWE Baskets Oldenburg. Both the upcoming league games and the cup challenges require quick action and a strategic plan to ensure relegation and possibly win the cup. The fans are hoping for a good hand from the coach and players so that carefree times can soon begin again on the field.
