At the Oberwart Gunners, the Gmundner Basket Swans start on Sunday (5:30 p.m.) in the placement round of the basketball league. It’s all about securing a perfect starting position for the quarter-finals and avoiding the currently untouchable leaders BC Vienna for as long as possible.
The Gmundners want to consolidate their second place in the table, which they were able to cement despite the points they had just shared. Benedikt Güttl will be out due to illness. Carlos Novas Mateo is also questionable with a dislocated neck. In the end, the physiotherapists and the team doctor will decide on his assignment. Daniel Friedrich once again becomes a “mask man” to protect his damaged nose.
The Wels Raiffeisen Flyers did not only help the Gmunden team in the fight against their immediate neighbors on Thursday with their own 82:69 victory over Oberwart at the end of the regular season. The Welser left the end of the table themselves. Now the Flyers, together with three competitors, are playing for the last two free places in the quarterfinals. At the start, the Welser will play the Vienna Timberwolves at home today (8 p.m.).
