After a Saturday devoted to the finals of the French Basketball Cup, the Betclic Élite returns to action this Sunday, April 28 with two advanced matches on the 32nd day and, above all, a postponed match on the 29th day between Paris Basketball and Bourg. This match – at the Adidas Arena in Paris – constitutes a poster at the top of the championship and the remake of the last Eurocup final won, in mid-April, by the Parisians. Initially scheduled for April 14, the match was postponed precisely because of this European final.
If Freddy Fauthoux’s players will come to the capital before the desire to take their revenge, Paris Basketball will try to continue its impressive series of invincibility. The partners of Nadir Hifi remain on 21 successes in all competitions, including 12 in the championship. They have not experienced the taste of setbacks for more than two months, more precisely since January 27 and a trip to Strasbourg in Betclic Élite (89-86).
In the event of a 22nd victory, the Parisians would consolidate – and lock – their second place in the championship behind Monaco, a ranking which offers home advantage at least until the semi-final of the playoffs. A defeat, on the other hand, would allow Bourg to dislodge them from their seats and would provide a thrilling end to the regular phase.
Currently on vacation in France and present this Saturday at the Accor Arena to encourage his younger brother Oscar during the final of the U17 French Cup, Victor Wembanyama could attend the match. Bilal Coulibaly, his friend and former partner of Mets92, also currently in France, should be present in the Adidas Arena for this summit clash. The duel not to be missed!
The duel between Paris Basketball and Bourg-en-Bresse, a late match on the 29th day of Betclic Élite, will kick off this Sunday, April 28 at 7:05 p.m., live on the L’Équipe channel.
