The visiting team is currently one win outside the top six, but can take confidence from a thrilling 100-96 victory over Bourg in Round 6. Deividas Sirvydis was the inspiration for that win with 27 points and he is one of the competition's hottest players with at least 16 points in six straight games. The task of slowing him down falls to Jequan Lewis, who has at least one steal in seven out of eight games this season.
Fred Fauthoux, Bourg head coach
"We must resume our march forward in the EuroCup against a team which knows how to pass the ball very well and which has very good skill."
Maksim Salash, Bourg player
"Intensity and energy! They defend with a lot of energy and we fight to beat this team."
