Legia Team News
Legia played as many as seven friendly games as part of their preparations. Unfortunately, not everything went according to plan. They won only three times, beating Anwil Wloclawek and defeating the team Dziki from the capital of Poland twice.
The preparations have shown that they are never a real measure, as evidenced by their match against Zielona Gora in the first round of the Polish championship. They triumphed with a convincing score of 90:72. The tandem of Michal Kolenda and Raymond Cowels stood out as the two individuals in the best form. In this squad, Christian Vital plays a significant role, filling all statistical columns. Among the American basketball players, Shawn Pipes Jr, the major signing of the transfer window, is certainly worth mentioning. He will need some time to adapt, but last season he was known to drop as many as 30 points against opponents while playing for Nymburk.
Last season, Legia was also a part of the FIBA Champions League, and with quality additions, the ambition is certainly to be part of the competition again. The negative record of one win in six played matches served as a lesson for a better squad, which they certainly have this season.
Fribourg Team News
In the four friendly games before the start of the season, Fribourg showed that they can play quality basketball. They won three times against Aix-Mauirenne, Antwerp Giants, and Sigal. They suffered a defeat against the highest quality opponent, the Euroleague team Asvel.
Last season, Fribourg paved the way by winning the title in the Swiss national championship and raised ambitions to do the same now. They were also competitive in the FIBA Europe Cup, where they recorded three wins and three losses in six played matches. However, this was not enough to advance to the knockout phase. The most important thing for them is certainly that they failed to retain the American trio: Davonta Jordan, Matt Millon, and Antonio Ballard. Now, Eric Nottage is there, who was the best in the first qualification duel, and Roberto Kovac traditionally plays well.
Fribourg will be looking to spring a surprise against a more formidable opponent, but it’s clear that they won’t go down without a fight. For them, this attempt is simply something where they have nothing to lose. If they pull off a miracle, they will break their own boundaries, otherwise, they will participate in the competition they were a part of last season.

Legia vs Fribourg Prediction
For Fribourg, it was expected that they would outplay the Caledonia Gladiators. Even then, they showed significant problems and weaknesses, which led to them having a double-digit deficit in the opening quarter. Now, they face a much stronger opponent, and it’s expected that the same will happen, but the Polish team will not squander their lead so easily. Therefore, we suggest a bet where Legia will triumph with a margin greater than 6.5 points.
