The Oldenburgers had to pay a heavy tribute in the narrow 71-68 victory against the table neighbour Bamberg. Power forward Nathan Boothe suffered a fracture dislocated shin in a duel with the Upper Franconia and is expected to miss three months. At the end of November, the team of head coach Mladen Drijencic was able to make the entry into the next round of the Eurocup prematurely perfect and also in the BBL one is on course. With the exception of Boothe, all other players are available.
Since the disappointing preliminary rounds in the Eurocup and the initially rather weak performances in the Bundesliga, the Ulmers have caught themselves again recently. Two of the last three games have been won significantly (102-69 against Hamburg and 97-77 in Gießen), because they have finally got the existing quality on the floor. The Domstädter have recovered from the injury scare and captain Per Günther is slowly regaining his old strength. In spite of this, ratiopharm Ulm is under pressure in the next few weeks, as they have not yet been able to underline their high ambitions.

Despite missing of the Boothe, I see Oldenburg at the front, but not as clearly as the bookmakers do. Ulm is getting stronger and stronger and I expect a tight game and not a double-digit victory of the Lower Saxony. If the guests can build on the performances of the last few games, I would even give them a chance to win. Therefore, I recommend to bet on a high handicap in favor of ratiopharm Ulm.
