Strasbourg Team News
After playing inconsistently in the preparation period, the Strasbourg team secured a victory in the first round of their domestic championship. Strasbourg, particularly with an excellent performance in the third quarter, managed to defeat Nanterre by 71:57 on their home court.
The Strasbourg underwent significant changes in their player roster between the two seasons, with many players leaving and a substantial number of new players joining the team. In the first round, Phil Booth stood out, who, after a challenging first part of the season, left Buducnost and finished the previous season in the Turkish league. Apart from him, the standout players of the match were veteran Paul Lacombe and point guard Quinton Hooker, both scoring 12 points. Leopold Cavaliere also reached double figures, marking his fourth season in the Strasbourg jersey.
When a coach faces his former team for the first time, we can usually say that he knows the players of his former club very well, but this is not the case here. Limoges has completely changed their player roster, so Massimo Cancellieri knowledge may not be of much use in this regard. However, we still believe that Strasbourg is the favorite in this match and will secure the victory.
Limoges Team News
Limoges has suffered four consecutive defeats. They experienced three losses during the preparation period, and the fourth came in the first round of the French championship. This loss was at home, but considering it was against Monaco, they can’t be criticized too much for it.
During the summer, enormous changes took place on all fronts. The president, vice-president, coach, and almost the entire player roster were replaced. On top of all that, a really tough schedule awaits, starting with a match against the absolute favorite, Monaco, in the first round of the championship. In that loss, it was expected that Tyree Appleby would be the top scorer, as he played excellently for most of the preparation period. His backcourt partner, Kameron McGusty, had a poor shooting performance, which prevented him from standing out. We expect a reaction from him in this match.
Even though it’s the early stages of the season, this is a very important match for Limoges. A fifth consecutive loss would likely lead them into a deeper crisis, potentially breeding mistrust among the new management, coach, and players. Such a situation is never good and can lead to problems, despite it being early in the championship. We believe the guests will give their all to surprise the favored home team. Whether it will be enough, remains to be seen.

Strasbourg vs Limoges Prediction
Although it’s still early in the season, and there is enough time for most mistakes to be corrected, this could be an important match, especially for the visitors. We believe that both teams will enter the game with maximum focus and a desire to secure a win. Strasbourg is the favorite, but at the beginning of the season, we’re not entirely sure how much more superior they are. Therefore, we’ve decided to focus on the point total, and we believe it will exceed margin.
