Brescia will look to bounce back after losing back-to-back games to Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse and U-BT Cluj-Napoca. Guards Amedeo Della Valle (15.8 ppg., 4.8 apg.) and Troy Caupain (14.5 ppg., 4.0 apg.) have been Brescia’s main weapons this season with Kenny Gabriel serving as its main frontcourt reference.
After losing its first two games this season, Reyer has won three in a row, including its only road victory in Round 3 at Cluj. Center Mitchell Watt (13.6 ppg., 6.6 rpg.) and forward Derek Willis (12.8 ppg.) have been Reyer’s top scorers and Marco Spissu its backcourt leader.
The game will be a clash of styles with Brescia the superior offensive team and Reyer better on the defensive end. Controlling the pace could be critical and the hosts seek to run, while Reyer prefers a half-court game.
