MIES (Switzerland) - Following Tuesday's five-game packed schedule, only two games are set to be played in Szombathely and Rhodes to conclude this week's action in the Basketball Champions League.
Two teams yet to win a game this season, 20-point game scoring streaks, and more to know about Wednesday's clashes.
Falco-Vulcano Szombathely (2-2) vs. WKS Slask Wroclaw (0-4) - Group F, 18:00 CET
Falco-Vulcano Szombathely have lost their two most recent games in the BCL after winning their previous three, including the reverse fixture against WKS Slask Wroclaw (84-75); Szombathely have won their last five when holding their opponents to less than 80 points and have lost their last eight games when allowing 80 points or more.
WKS Slask Wroclaw are still looking for their first victory in the BCL, after losing their previous four games by an average margin of 11 points; they are yet to score more than 75 points in a single league fixture.
Of Szombathely's 274 field goal attempts, 67.9 percent were taken from two-point territory, the second-highest ratio amongst all teams in the BCL this season (King Szczecin, 68.2%).
Szombathely’s Zoltan Perl has scored 20+ points in each of his last five games in the BCL, the joint-longest stretch of 20-point games in league history; Perl is averaging 21.2 points per game in his last 10 home fixtures in the BCL.
Ajdin Penava has scored in double-figures in each of his last three games in the BCL with Wroclaw; however, his only game with less than 10 points scored was against Szombathely in the reverse fixture (8pts).
It's a perfect 11-0 unbeaten run for Szombathely in Hungary, where they lastly took down ZTE KK with 20 points by - guess who? - Zoltan Perl; Wroclaw started the domestic Polish campaign with a disappointing 4-5 record, and they are currently out of the Playoffs picture despite bouncing back against Czarni Slupsk, winning the game 72-63 behind Emmanuel Nzekwesi's 12 points and 8 rebounds.
Kolossos H Hotels (0-4) vs. Saint-Quentin Basket-Ball (1-3) - Group C, 18:30 CET
Kolossos H Hotels are still looking for their first victory in the BCL, after losing their previous four games by an average margin of 20.5 points; they lost the reverse fixture by a 30-point differential (54-84), their biggest defeat in the competition thus far.
Saint-Quentin Basket-Ball have won just one of their four BCL games, but it was precisely against Kolossos in GD1 (84-54); their four games in the competition have all ended with double-digit margins.
Saint-Quentin have allowed their opponents to shoot only 27.5 2-pointers per game, the fewest in the BCL in 2024-25; of their 76.3 points allowed per game, only 41.3 percent have been scored from two-point territory, the second lowest ratio in the league this season, only behind ERA Nymburk (38.1%).
London Perrantes has combined for 10+ points and 5+ assists in each of his last two games in the BCL with Kolossos, after making only two points and four assists in the reverse fixture against Saint-Quentin; Perrantes has dished out 12 assists while making only one turnover in his last two games in the competition.
Nolan Traore (Saint-Quentin) scored 27 points in the reverse fixture against Kolossos, more than he has scored in his three BCL games since then (26pts); his 53 points in the competition are the most by any player under 19 years old after their first four games in the BCL.
Saint-Quentin must be heading into this game with fire in their eyes, wanting to take revenge for losing by 28 points (91-63) in the LNB to Elan Chalon over the weekend; Kolossos couldn't get the ultimate upset at home against Olympiacos in the Greek League, as they lost 88-73 and they are still stuck at the bottom of the standings at 1-8.
