Wolves on a campaign of revenge: key game in Bamberg and Hanover!

On December 28, 2025, there will be an exciting match day in the Basketball Bundesliga that will keep fans in Cologne and beyond the city limits in suspense. The sporting heroes from the region are making their way to two important away games: The Wolves are playing in Bamberg against the BMA365 Bamberg Baskets, while the Lions are trying their luck at the TK Hannover Luchsen at the same time. Both games will be broadcast live on Dyn, and you can also follow the action on Dyn's YouTube channel - a great way for all fans to support their favorite teams.

But what exactly awaits the teams in the Bavarian stronghold and in Hanover? The game in Bamberg is particularly important for the Wolves. After a disappointing defeat in the round of 16 of the BBL Cup, where they lost 78:105, revenge is the declared goal. So far this season, the Wolves have a negative record of just three wins in 18 away games against Bamberg. The last win there was a long time ago - on December 11, 2022 they won 98:90. Now Wolves want to build on this win and gain confidence for the upcoming English weeks ahead.

Look at the table and upcoming challenges

Spencer Reaves will also meet his former team from the 2022/23 season. Another exciting aspect is that John Bryant could potentially play his 500th Bundesliga game on Friday. An anniversary that has a very special meaning for every player. The Lions, on the other hand, have a talented player in Anna Suckstorff who has already established herself excellently in her first Bundesliga season and is bringing a breath of fresh air to the team.

The Basketball Bundesliga at a glance

If we take a step back, the 2024/25 Basketball Bundesliga, the 59th season of Germany's top men's basketball league, still offers many exciting stories. As Wikipedia reports, only 17 teams will take part in this season, which brings some changes to the format. The teams play 32 games in the main round, with each opponent playing against each other twice. Places 1 to 6 qualify directly for the playoffs, while teams in places 7 to 10 have to fight for the last two places in a play-in format. It all creates plenty of tension and drama as the season unfolds.

The anticipation for the games is huge and it remains to be seen how the Wolves and Lions will fare. Fans are counting down the hours until kick-off and dreaming of a successful evening, while the players will give everything to win the hearts of their supporters. After all, basketball is more than just a game - it's passion, team spirit and a piece of home!
