In the regular championship of the British Basketball League, a match between the Newcastle Eagles and the Cheshire Phoenix will take place on Friday, April 19. The game is scheduled to start at 20:30 Central European Time.
Newcastle Eagles
The Eagles are the most decorated club in Britain, and this season they are fighting for fourth place with the Sheffield Sharks and the Leicester Riders. Their chances are slim, as Sheffield only needs a victory against the Plymouth City Patriots, but holding onto fifth place is within Newcastle's reach. The team hasn't looked great in their recent games, losing to the Bristol Flyers and the Surrey Scorchers.
Cheshire Phoenix
Throughout the season, Cheshire has firmly secured themselves just behind the dominant London Lions. They are likely to maintain their second-place position even if they lose their last two matches to potential challengers like Caledonia. The opponent in the quarterfinals will most likely be the Bristol Flyers. It's hard to say how motivated the Cheshire Phoenix players will be in the remaining matches of the regular season.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- The Eagles have only won twice in their last seven games.
- In their previous four away games, the Cheshire Phoenix have scored at least 99 points per game.
- Newcastle has lost five consecutive home matches to their upcoming opponent.
Newcastle Eagles vs Cheshire Phoenix Prediction
Cheshire appears to be the clear favorite, but Newcastle still has unresolved issues, so they will be striving to win this game. I'm betting on a total of over 181 points.
