BEVERSTEDT, Germany (Interstat) — Bremerhaven will seek its first win of the German Pro A season Sunday when it hosts OrangeAcademy at Bremerhaven Stadthalle in Beverstedt, Germany.

Bremerhaven enters at 0-1 after an 87-67 loss to Löwen Braunschweig in its most recent game. Garai Zeeb led the way with 11 points and seven assists, Vincent Friederici added 10 points and four assists, and Jeremiah Oden contributed seven points and nine rebounds. The home side will look to build on those individual efforts while improving its overall execution.

OrangeAcademy opens the season at 0-0 and will be playing its first game of the campaign. The visiting team will try to start quickly on the road against a Bremerhaven squad still searching for consistency. OrangeAcademy has a demanding stretch ahead, with its next 10 games against Kirchheim, Heidelberg, Bayreuth, Crailsheim, Paderborn, Köln, Essen, Tubingen, PS Karlsruhe and Koblenz.

Bremerhaven’s next 10 games include matchups with Bochum, Paderborn, Köln, Essen, Crailsheim, Nürnberger BC, PS Karlsruhe, Wolmirstedt, Gottingen and Kirchheim. The home team will aim to use Sunday’s contest as a building block before that run. Bremerhaven Stadthalle provides the setting for the Pro A clash, with the visitors looking to spoil the home opener and the hosts seeking to even their record.

The early-season schedule offers both teams a chance to measure themselves against a range of Pro A opponents. OrangeAcademy’s upcoming slate includes home and road contests, while Bremerhaven will mix home games with trips. OrangeAcademy will rely on a fresh start and a chance to establish momentum in its first outing. Bremerhaven, meanwhile, will look to carry the positive stretches from its opener into a more complete performance. The matchup features two teams at different points in the young season, but both will view Sunday as an important early opportunity in Pro A play.

Bremerhaven’s most recent result showed flashes from its backcourt and frontcourt, though the final margin left room for improvement. Zeeb’s playmaking and Friederici’s scoring helped keep the offense moving, while Oden contributed on the glass. The team will need similar production and more balance to counter OrangeAcademy.

OrangeAcademy enters without a game played, making its season debut against a Bremerhaven squad that has already experienced game conditions. The visitors will try to manage the road environment and settle into their system quickly. Bremerhaven will attempt to use its home crowd and familiarity with the floor to gain an edge.
