Bourg vs Limoges: Analysis and Prediction – Bourg will play at home against Limoges in the LNB Pro A 8th round.
Bourg vs Limoges Odds
Bourg Team News
Bourg has had an excellent start to the new season. In their domestic league, they hold a 5-2 record, with their only losses coming against Monaco and Ada Blois. In the EuroCup, they maintain a perfect record (3-0), and during the week, they secured a win against Cluj-Napoca by 92:88.
During the summer, Bourg did an excellent job with scouting. They found Bryce Brown in Poland, who, after outstanding performances in Szczecin, was rewarded with a contract in France. In the first few rounds, Brown has stood out as the top scorer, and they hope he continues in that rhythm. Isiaha Mike has continued where he left off last season, and much is expected from Zaccharie Risacher, who came from Asvel with the goal of continuing the progress he started in the suburbs of Lyon.
Bourg has yet to lose at home this season. Their most notable win was against Nanterre (85:67), and if they produce a similar performance on Saturday, it will be tough for Limoges to do better than the aforementioned team, which also plays in green jerseys.
Limoges Team News
Limoges also has a positive record (4-3) in the LNB Pro A. Their losses have come against teams that are among the best in the competition, such as Monaco and Paris. They’ve won all three of their road games so far, but this will be the toughest challenge on paper.
Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, Montenegrin forward Danilo Nikolic has emerged as one of the most reliable offensive options. He spent some time with Partizan during the preseason, and it clearly benefited him. In all four league games, Nikolic has scored in double digits. Nemanja Nenadic is in very good form, as is Nicolas Lang, who has been Limoges’ best player for several years. Cameron McGusty is still adjusting to the higher level of competition, and more is expected from him.
Limoges’ perfect road record so far gives them hope that they can perform well and perhaps secure a win against Bourg. The fact that Bourg had a tough game against Cluj-Napoca could favor Limoges.

Bourg vs Limoges Prediction
Despite playing without three key players, Bourg has continued to perform at a high tempo in their recent games. Based on what we’ve seen so far, they can hope to secure a place within the top 4 in the LNB Pro A. Limoges has had a somewhat easier schedule but has shown a certain level of quality. If Nikolic and Nenadic can maintain their current form, better results will surely follow. Bourg is the favorite and will likely win, but they might not outperform Limoges by a double-digit margin.
