A match carrying the weight of the standings

On Wednesday evening, London gets a new European story: London Lions and Chemnitz play a match in Basketball - Europe - EuroCup - season 2025/2026, Round 13, starting at 19:30 at the Copper Box Arena, within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London (UK). Such dates in the middle of the season are often a turning point because it is already visible who can withstand the rhythm of travel and double duties, and who will be looking for "math" for the playoffs until the last round. In this meeting, there is no room for routine, given that the teams are located in a tightly packed part of the table and know that one win can change the entire tone of January. Precisely because of this, public interest is growing, so it is realistic to expect that tickets will disappear quickly as the evening of the match approaches, especially among fans who want to feel the EuroCup atmosphere live. Ticket sales are available – buy tickets via the button below and secure your seat in the stands. For those coming from outside London, it is useful to plan an earlier arrival in Stratford, because the entire neighborhood around the park is alive precisely on the day of the match, and crowds at the entrances always grow as the start approaches.

The bigger picture of the EuroCup and why Round 13 is special

EuroCup 2025/2026 has a format that forces teams to think several weeks ahead from the first round, because the regular season is played until February 11, 2026, and leaves no room for long "black holes" in form. There are 20 clubs in the competition divided into two groups, and the best from each group receive clear rewards in the playoffs: the first-placed and second-placed go directly to the quarterfinals, while the third to sixth move to the round of 16, where an opponent from the other group awaits them. In practice, this means that every mid-season match is also a fight for a better starting position, and not just for a "naked" victory, because the difference between second and fifth place is later felt through travel and the difficulty of the opponent. Fans recognize this, so tickets and passes gain additional value: you are not just buying an evening of basketball, but potentially a meeting that determines the path to the playoffs. Precisely because of this, a sports story is being raised in the city around such matches, because the EuroCup is big enough to attract a neutral audience, and "close" enough that one can feel on the stands who came for the club, and who for the event itself.

Current standings in the group and the calculation for the playoffs

A look at the current standings in Group B shows that the fight is being fought "to the knife", and London Lions and NINERS Chemnitz are a typical example of teams that can jump two places or slip below the line in a few days. NINERS Chemnitz is in 6th position with a 6-6 record, while London Lions is in 8th place with a 5-7 record, so the host on its floor has the opportunity to directly pressure the opponent from the playoff zone and change the psychological momentum before the next series of matches. At the top of the group are currently Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse with 10-2, then Buducnost VOLI Podgorica and Besiktas GAIN Istanbul with 8-4, and immediately behind them are Turk Telekom Ankara and Dolomiti Energia Trento with 7-5, which clearly illustrates how little room there is for error. Behind the London position lurks ratiopharm ulm (5-6) and the rest of the bottom part of the table, so every home meeting gets additional pressure because points on one's own floor often determine the fate of passing. For a fan, this means that he is not just buying an entry to the hall, but also an opportunity to watch a match live in which the standings can be turned by one good streak, one series of three-pointers, or one defensive stint that "steals" the rhythm from the opponent.

Form and identity of London Lions in the season

London Lions builds its identity in the EuroCup on energy and shooting, but the impression from the floor is also confirmed by the numbers: ahead of this duel, the Lions are at 76.9 points per match, while Chemnitz is at 82.7, so London must either speed up its own offensive stints or find a way to "take away" the opponent's comfort in attack. In a season comparison, London is more efficient in three-point shooting with 35.8%, which is an important asset in a hall where the audience explodes at every hit three-pointer and in that way practically enters the match as a sixth player. On the other hand, the Lions also have room for growth through possession control and a calmer finish of the attack, because the difference in turnovers can become expensive when playing against a team that likes to punish mistakes. As a player who pulls a series of strings, Kameron McGusty stands out as London's best player by PIR (15.7), which suggests that his performance will be one of the barometers of the home team's success. If McGusty imposes the rhythm and opens up teammates, the Copper Box knows how to "pull" even those who came neutrally, and then ticket sales receive their confirmation in practice: the atmosphere looks and sounds like a European standard, and not like an ordinary mid-week match.

Key tactical points for the Lions

For London to make the most of the home court advantage, it is important to "lock" the match in several control points and not allow Chemnitz to impose its tempo through efficiency from the paint. The first is shot selection and patience in the pick-and-roll, because Chemnitz has a higher 2P% (57.7% versus 54.8%), so the Lions must choose when and how they help from the corner so as not to open too many layups or easy cuts. The second is the control of the defensive rebound, given that Chemnitz has an advantage in DREB (24.8 versus 22.6) and total rebounds (35.0 versus 33.2), so London must close the paint and ensure that one good defense does not end with a second attack by the guests. The third is discipline in transition: Chemnitz has more steals per match (7.3 versus 6.3), which usually means more opportunities for easy points, and that is a segment that "kills" the audience on the road because it interrupts the fan momentum. In such details, it is often seen how mentally ready the roster is, so it is not surprising that fans want to be in the hall precisely at such a meeting, when a true European level of tactical chess game is seen. Tickets in this context are not perceived just as a card, but as an entry into a match where every mistake is paid for immediately.

NINERS Chemnitz: German firmness and attacking momentum

NINERS Chemnitz does not come to London as an exotic guest, but as a club that has established itself in the German Basketball Bundesliga in recent years and is building a European identity through serious results. They were founded in 1999 and play home matches in the Messe Chemnitz with a capacity of about 5,200, and under the coaching hand of Rodrigo Pastore, they are known for a disciplined attack and clear roles, where the ball moves quickly until the best option is found. In the EuroCup this season, Chemnitz has 82.7 points per match and a total PIR of 86.0, which already at the start says that this is a team that often "gets" numbers even when the match is not played ideally. A special story is Kevin Yebo, Chemnitz's best player by PIR (20.6), and his season highlights have already been impressive enough to be talked about throughout the competition, because such individual steps forward often carry the team through difficult away stints. When you have a player who can change the match in two attacks, then the opponent must also adapt, and that opens space for others and creates what the audience loves: changes of rhythm, mini-series, and tactical "answers" on the field. Precisely because of this, interest in tickets is understandable, because here one does not watch only the club, but also individual quality at a level that otherwise rarely comes to the London address at this time.

Matchup details: rebounding, ball pressure and paint efficiency

In a tactical sense, Chemnitz gains the most when it directs the match towards the paint and rebounding, because statistically it stands better in segments that often decide meetings by one ball. The advantage in two-point shooting (57.7% versus 54.8%) suggests that the guests more often reach a quality finish from close range, whether through drives, or through short passes after help, so London will have to precisely dose double-teams so as not to open empty sides. In rebounding, Chemnitz has +1.8 in total and +2.2 in defensive rebounding, so as a rule, it closes the opponent's second attacks and turns defense into transition, which is especially dangerous if London loses control over the ball. Another alarm for the home team is the number of steals (7.3), because that means more aggressive pressure on primary ball-handlers and attempts to force the opponent into a difficult pass, and thus into improvisations that the audience remembers only if they end with a basket. On the other hand, precisely here London can answer: with a stable attack, wider distribution of three-point shots (35.8%) and controlled possessions that "deaden" the rhythm of the pressing. For fans in the stands, such stints can be the loudest, because it is felt when the team smartly survives the pressure and then punishes the opponent, and precisely because of that, tickets are often sought even among those who otherwise follow matches from a distance.

Head-to-head meetings and psychological moment

What makes this match additionally interesting is the fact that a scenario has already been seen in which everything comes down to a minimal difference, so the "second half" of their season is also being played in London. In the first mutual meeting, London Lions won in Chemnitz 68-67, and such a result in European basketball usually means two things: tactical preparation was precise, and small things decided in the end. The official review ahead of this clash states that the mutual record is 1-0 for London and that this is also the only recorded meeting in their mutual series, which automatically puts additional focus on the "story of revenge". Chemnitz will want to prove that it can take a win on the road as well, while London has the opportunity to confirm that that tight triumph was not a coincidence, but the result of structure and character. For the audience, this is the perfect recipe: a match with a previous tight finish, clear stakes on the table, and players who have already felt the mutual physicality. In such an atmosphere, tickets often cease to be an ordinary purchase and become the plan of the evening, because it is expected that every quarter will be played as a small separate battle.

Copper Box Arena as a stage for a European evening

Copper Box Arena in Stratford has a story that fits into the EuroCup aesthetics: it was built for the 2012 Olympic Games, and today it is a place where London basketball is "heard" outside the floor as well. The hall is located in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and is officially addressed as The Copper Box Arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, London E20 3HB, which is useful for navigation for everyone coming to this part of the city for the first time. The configuration for basketball goes up to about 6,000 seats, so an ideal ratio between size and closeness of the court is obtained, and the visitor is left with the impression that he is part of the events, and not just an observer from a safe distance. If you are coming from outside London or want to turn the match into a small city trip, it is practical to look at accommodation next to the Olympic Park in advance, because Stratford is connected to both the rest of the city and transport hubs. The added value of the Copper Box is that the cheering easily "sticks" to the floor: sound returns from the stands, and when the host catches a series of three-pointers or steals a ball, the entire hall reacts as one organism. In such an environment, it is not difficult to understand why tickets for this event are in demand, because the EuroCup looks like a true European stage in such a hall, and not like a television frame.

Arrival, transport and practical information

For arrival at the Copper Box Arena, Stratford offers one of the most practical transport combinations in London, which is a great advantage for fans who want to avoid stress and arrive on time. Hackney Wick Overground, about five minutes away on foot, and Stratford Underground, which is about fifteen minutes walk, are mentioned as the closest options, so arrival can be organized even without transfers, depending on which part of the city you are starting from. The hall additionally lists bus line 388 which stops directly in front of the Copper Box, which is convenient for those who want to avoid an additional walk after arriving in Stratford, and for cyclists, racks and practical infrastructure that functions well at this location are provided. For those thinking about a car, it is realistic to count on restrictions and crowds around the park, so it is smart to arrive earlier and not leave the arrival for the last ten minutes, especially if you already have purchased tickets. Such logistics directly affect the experience: the fewer unknowns in arrival, the more focus remains on basketball and on that part of the evening for which the purchase of tickets is done at all. For those planning an overnight stay or arrival over two days, a review of Accommodation offers in Stratford and the surrounding area is also useful, especially because of the proximity of transport and the short walk to the arena.

How to plan the match evening without skipping the best moments

A EuroCup evening in London is often an experience that is built gradually, and the Copper Box is a hall where energy is felt even before the players make the first sprint, so arriving earlier has a very concrete sense. When you enter 45 minutes before, you see how coaches and players "clean up" the details: positioning in the corner for a three-pointer, repeating actions for the first attack, communication in defense, and you recognize all this more easily later during the match. The club recommendation is to arrive 30–60 minutes earlier, and the pre-program starts about 30 minutes before the start, which is an excellent framework for fans who want to catch the entire rhythm, from the warm-up to the first jump. In such evenings, it often happens that the audience raises the tone already at the presentation of the players, so the atmosphere "spills over" onto the floor and the host gets an additional impulse in the first minutes. In that framework, buying tickets also makes sense: when the stakes are high and the stands are full, it is better not to leave everything for the last moment, but to click the button below in time and secure your entry to the hall. If you want to plan without haste, you can also check Accommodation for fans on the match day in advance, so that the evening could be arranged around arrival, transport, and tip-off time.

Tickets, audience interest and what to expect on the floor

Matches like London Lions – Chemnitz in the EuroCup bring a tempo and physical contact that is felt already in the first possessions, and the difference in details is often what keeps the audience "on the edge" until the last minute. London will try to live off its three-pointer (35.8%) and turn the Copper Box into a shooting stage, while Chemnitz comes with a clear idea to make a difference that is not seen immediately, but is seen on the scoreboard in the last five minutes, through efficiency from the paint (57.7% for two) and advantage in rebounding and stolen balls. Tickets for this event are in demand, so buying tickets makes sense as soon as you decide to come – click the button below and secure your tickets. In such matchups, it is often decided who handles runs better: one team hits two three-pointers in a row and the hall blazes up, the other answers through rebounding and points from the second chance, so the match turns into a series of small "rounds" that the audience follows almost instinctively. If London succeeds in reducing turnovers and doing the defensive rebound, it can win that kind of match in which the audience takes over the energy and pushes the team through difficult minutes, while Chemnitz will look for rhythm control and wider distribution of offensive solutions. Precisely because of that, this evening is interesting to neutral basketball lovers as well: you get a European tactical duel, an already seen tight mutual history and a table that gives additional weight to every possession, and all that in a hall that is ideal for experiencing such matches first hand.Sources:
