For the 3rd time in a row Amiens is playing at home, but this time it’s one of the top names in the group that awaits the ASCBB.
After a victory at the end of the suspense against Paris BA, the Amiens welcome Charenton, 2nd of the hen. While they remain on two consecutive successes outside, the Charentonnais will be keen to chain a third victory away from their bases. Indeed, the Parisians, who have 13 wins for 3 losses, intend to do everything to continue to play the climb. Only one point behind the leader Wasquehal, Charenton is clearly in the race for the climb. It is therefore a sizeable adversary awaiting the ASCBB.
A difficult opponent certainly, but the Picards can still hope to learn something from this meeting. While they have 2 wins for 3 losses since the start of 2022, the Samarians seem to have found a positive dynamic as Frédéric Domon explains to us : “We have to be in the continuity of what we have been doing since the beginning of January”. Another positive element for this match: the return of Joel Muamba. Injured for several games, the Canadian will return tomorrow evening.
Beaten 75-63 in the first leg, Frédéric Domon has a bitter taste for traveling to the Paris region : “What happened there was unheard of, especially on the arbitration“. It is therefore vengeful that the Amiens coach approaches this meeting : “We are at home, we have revenge to take because over there we were cheated by the arbitration. I talked to my players about basketball, because we’ve been better lately, but I also talked to them about self-esteem. What happened in Charenton makes me hate and I hope my players have as much hate as me. »
The ASCBB will have a lot to do to beat the Charentonnais, but given the latest performances a victory remains quite possible as Frédéric Domon says: “I’m confident, I’m not saying we’re necessarily going to win, but I think we have the means to fight with Charenton”.
