Leicester Riders
The current season has been fairly successful for the "riders", and the team has good prospects for making it to the playoffs of the British Basketball League. At present, Leicester Riders occupy the fifth position in the league table, securing 15 victories in 29 matches while enduring 14 defeats. It's worth noting that in recent rounds, the "riders" have shown a decline in form. In their last match, Leicester suffered a defeat to the Bristol Flyers on the road (71:108), and prior to that, they couldn't resist the London Lions (89:105). Overall, Rob Paternostro's team has lost three matches in the last four rounds. However, on their home court, Leicester has won their last four matches.
Caledonia Gladiators
The Scottish team has been performing admirably in the current season of the BBL and rightfully occupies the third position in the league table of the regular championship. In 29 matches, under the guidance of Gareth Murray, the team has accumulated 34 points, securing 17 victories and enduring 12 defeats. Catching up with the London Lions is virtually impossible, but theoretically, making it to the playoffs is still feasible. In their previous regular championship match, Caledonia, backed by their home crowd, defeated the Newcastle Eagles with a scoreline of 98:80. This victory marked only the third win for the "gladiators" in their last five matches. However, the Gladiators haven't always been successful away from home.
