After the disappointment against Dornbirn, BBU Salzburg has a must-win ahead of it. In Kapfenberg, the Falcons will face bottom of the table Future Team Steiermark.

Last week, the BBU Salzburg men's basketball team let victory against the Dornbirn Lions slip from their grasp. Despite taking a comfortable lead at one point, the game went into overtime, in which the team from Vorarlberg won. A bitter setback for the Falcons, who are determined to reach the play-off for promotion. A win against the team at the bottom of the table in Kapfenberg on Saturday (5 p.m.) is a must.

"Have to minimize mistakes"
Future Team Styria has the weakest offense with just 54 points per game. "After the last bitter defeat in Dornbirn, we have to improve a lot against the Future Team. We have to minimize mistakes for the remaining games; that's the only way we can take the next step in the right direction," says player Gabriel Calic.

All of BBU's players are fit, apart from Tomy Ezequiel Vicente, who is still out with a long-term injury.
