**Falco-Vulcano Szombathely vs. Salon Vilpas - Group C, 18:00 CET**

Falco-Vulcano Szombathely aims to bounce back after a 99-93 loss to Windrose Giants Antwerp in their opening game, a rare situation, as they have only lost their first two matches once in their previous six seasons. They have historically won their first home game in five of those six seasons.

Salon Vilpas is also looking to improve after their narrow 95-93 defeat to AEK BC on the road. Szombathely previously allowed over 50 points from bench players in two of their last three games, including 54 points from Antwerp's bench in their opener. Zoltan Perl of Szombathely is on a historic run, having notched 20+ points in 18 BCL games and looking to extend his streak to 21.

Leland Walker debuted well for Vilpas, scoring 28 points and providing seven assists, aiming to join an elite group by matching TJ Shorts II's achievement of 25+ points and 5+ assists in consecutive games.

**BK KVIS Pardubice vs. Unicaja - Group E, 18:00 CET**

BC KVIS Pardubice faces Unicaja after losing their first-ever BCL game, while no Czech team has lost their first two league games before. Unicaja's current campaign is unique as it marks their first two games on the road; they’ve historically performed better at home.

Willy Hernangomez made a historic debut for Unicaja, scoring 23 points, the highest for a Spanish player in their first BCL game. Meanwhile, Lubos Kovar managed 12 points in his debut for Pardubice, his highest tally in 23 BCL appearances but has yet to replicate that in consecutive games.

**Galatasaray MCT Technic vs. SIG Strasbourg - Group B, 19:00 CET**

Galatasaray, after their season-opening loss of 96-76 to Cibona, looks to stabilize their performance at home. They have historically only lost one of their opening two games in their recent BCL campaigns.

Meanwhile, SIG Strasbourg has struggled in Turkey recently, winning just one of their last five matches there but managed to score 100 points in their most recent outing. They aim to maintain their shooting streak of hitting 10 or more three-pointers, having done so in their last three games.

Jaylen Hands has consistently scored 15 points or more in his last four games; however, his teams have lost all six games when he fails to reach that mark.

**Cibona vs. Legia Warszawa - Group B, 20:00 CET**

Cibona looks to build on a strong start after defeating Galatasaray, hoping to achieve back-to-back wins for the first time since the 2016-17 season. Conversely, Legia strives to avoid starting their season with two losses after falling 100-62 to Strasbourg in their opener.

Cibona showcased remarkable shooting against Galatasaray, making 14 three-pointers and hitting 61 percent of their attempts. Khalif Battle had an impressive BCL debut, scoring 32 points and adding five assists.

Legia's Kristers Zoriks has averaged 19 points per game over his last five outings; however, his team has lost the last four games where he has scored 20 or more points. Both teams faced tight contests over the weekend, with Cibona narrowly losing to Borac Cacak and Legia squeezing past Anwil Wloclawek.
