How to read this preview

A 1–1 head-to-head and a ten-win regular-season gap are facts, not a forecast. Chemnitz already won in Berlin once last May. Alba Berlin enter the new season from second in the stored 2025-26 table. BasketLive24 will update the match page when this fixture leaves the scheduled state.
