Winning the first two quarters by small margins (15-13 and 24-23) and losing the third quarter by 15-32 to make an outstanding comeback of 34-22 in the fourth quarter is a commendable performance. And playing at home, it is a performance they are capable of replicating.
Similarly, Kirchheim defeated Uni Baskets Münster 96-91, securing their second victory in a row. Going into the 4th quarter trailing by 10 points (61-71), VFL Kirchheim Knights scored 35 points to secure a win. This last minute decisive performance will be tested on their visit to Giessen. However, having secured a playoffs spot, it will motivate them to continue their winning streak. From the recent H2H games, it is notable that whoever has the home advantage wins the match. And Giessen 46ers hardly disappoints when playing at home and the bookies rightfully consider them the favorites despite Kirchheim’s current form. So at the moment, the odds for the moneyline market have no value.
Considering the hosts’ latest 3 matches which had over 160 points scored, and 2 of the visitors’ last 3 games which ended with a total of 187 points, the Over/Under market is ideal.
