Bristol Flyers vs Caledonia Gladiators prediction and betting tips on April 19, 2024
In the regular season of the British Basketball League, a match between the Bristol Flyers and the Caledonia Gladiators will take place on Friday, April 19. The game is scheduled to start at 20:30 Central European Time.
Bristol Flyers
Bristol has already secured their place in the playoffs, and it seems they have achieved their minimum goal - to avoid facing the London Lions in the quarterfinals. The Flyers are currently in seventh place, and there aren't many chances to climb higher in the standings. Regardless, not everything depends on them. The match against Caledonia will be Bristol's last in the current regular season, and a victory will keep their hopes alive, relying on potential slip-ups from Leicester and Newcastle, who are ahead of the Flyers by just one win, but still have two games left to play.
Caledonia Gladiators
The Scottish team can quietly consider this season a success. In the regular championship, Caledonia had a strong second half of the season, managing to pull ahead in the race for third place. Below third position, the Gladiators are definitely not going to drop, but surpassing the Cheshire Phoenix is practically impossible. By the way, the match against Bristol Flyers will also be the last one for Caledonia in the current regular season.
