Derthona Basket: Emphasizing Offensive Play
Derthona Basket are steadily closing the gap on Italy’s top-tier clubs. Over the summer, they made several moves aimed at strengthening the squad, giving them a real shot at breaking into the top four of the regular season. As recent performances suggest, Derthona favour an open, attacking style of basketball - a trend that carried over into their latest friendlies, where they consistently put up 90+ points. However, it’s far from smooth sailing: defence remains a clear vulnerability, and this weakness tends to be exposed when they face the country’s elite sides. Their upcoming clash with Venezia is unlikely to be an exception.

Reyer Venezia: their defense leaves much to be desired
Venezia are easing into the new season, having already played two friendlies. They first fell to Trento (81-87) before bouncing back with a convincing win over Cantù (93-66). It’s fair to expect that the team will continue to make strides, especially when playing away from home. Their upcoming opponent isn’t the toughest, and Venezia’s roster remains stable-good enough to challenge for top spots domestically and make a strong impression in international competitions. However, recent performances suggest that Reyer are still struggling to find their defensive rhythm. This won’t be a walk in the park; they’ll need to maximize their offensive potential to come out on top.
