The new format of the Women's EuroLeague, as incomprehensible as it may be, offers great prospects for French clubs, qualifying three of the first four teams in each group for the second round. Thus, Basket Landes, after four unsuccessful attempts, finds itself on the verge of an achievement still unprecedented for the club. A victory against Salamanca would be enough to secure the first ticket in the history of the Landes club for the second phase. They will even be able to benefit from a little outside help since it is even possible to see them go through the groups with two defeats to conclude: a single defeat for Miskolc will seal their qualification.
“When you're a player, you get up every morning to aim for things like that”indicates Clarince Djaldi-Tabdi in the columns of Sud Ouest. “Being part of the top 12 clubs is another step towards the highest level. And if we accomplish this goal, why not dream bigger? »
Can the ESBVA afford a reprieve?
For Bourges, we can be even more direct. The Tango will qualify this Wednesday: Pauline Astier's teammates host Olympiakos, a month after correcting the Greek club in Piraeus (88-53). To extend their continental future, the Berruyères will simply have to preserve the average basket over Olympiakos, or at least… lose by less than 35 points!
On the other hand, Villeneuve-d'Ascq plays his head. Still fanny this season (0/11 in all competitions), the French champion club hosts Polkowice to offer themselves a reprieve. In the event of a victory against the Poles, the Northerners would play their heads on the last day, with the difficulty of a basket-average certainly unfavorable (63-90 defeat in the first leg). If they lose their twelfth match in a row, they will be eliminated.
