Alba Berlin vs Bonn Preview


The Uber Arena in Berlin sets the stage for a high-stakes clash between two sides fiercely battling for a spot in the Bundesliga playoffs.

Will the favored Alba extend their winning streak to three and close the gap on the playoff pack, or will the visitors pull off another upset and topple the same rival for the second time this season?

Alba Berlin Form & Team News


After wrapping up their underwhelming EuroLeague campaign, Alba can now fully shift their focus to domestic duties. 


Things haven’t gone smoothly in the Bundesliga either — with just six rounds left in the regular season, they sit only 11th in the standings, holding a 13–13 record.


Just two weeks ago, the situation looked even bleaker, but back-to-back wins have reignited their playoff hopes.


They first cruised past Vechta with a dominant 83–58 win, then followed it up with a crucial road victory over Ludwigsburg, 79–63. It was a mature performance from Alba — they controlled the pace, held the lead throughout, and sealed a well-deserved win.


Martin Hermannsson delivered another solid all-around game with 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, while both Malte Delow and William McDowell-White also contributed 12 points each.


Bonn Form & Team News


The reigning FIBA Champions League winners and last season’s Bundesliga runners-up are enduring a below-par campaign, where simply reaching the playoffs now stands as a serious challenge.


With a current record of 12 wins and 14 losses, Bonn trail the playoff pack by two victories, with just six regular-season games left to play.


One of the team’s biggest issues this season has been their unexpectedly poor home form. Once considered a fortress, their court has turned into anything but — Bonn have suffered 7 losses in 13 home games, a far cry from their previous dominance.


Even decent performances on the road, where they’ve collected 6 wins, haven’t been enough to lift them beyond 13th place in the standings.


In response to the disappointing results, head coach Roel Moors parted ways with the club in late January. However, a change at the helm hasn’t sparked the desired turnaround, as new coach Ognjen Stankovic continues to search for consistency and better outcomes.


Head to Head


The first meeting between these two teams this season came back in Round 4 of the BBL and ended with a 91–87 home win for Bonn. The standout performer that night was guard Darius McGhee, who recorded a double-double with 18 points and 10 assists.

Verdict

Momentum, home court advantage, and overall roster quality all favor Alba in this matchup.

While the Berlin side hasn’t exactly been shining this season, they’re still expected to handle a Bonn team that’s a far cry from the force they were in recent years.
