NUREMBERG (Interstat) — Kirchheim will put its undefeated record on the line Saturday when it visits Nürnberger BC at Sporthalle des BBZ in Nuremberg, Germany.

Kirchheim enters at 3-0 after a 104-75 home win over Bayreuth in its most recent game. Kirchheim also has wins over OrangeAcademy and Wolmirstedt this season. The visiting side has been productive offensively, reaching 94 points in a road win and 104 in its latest outing. Kirchheim has scored at least 87 points in each of its first three games and has won by margins of 29, nine and 29 points. Kirchheim’s first road win came against OrangeAcademy, and its home wins came against Wolmirstedt and Bayreuth. The team will aim to remain perfect with another strong road performance.

Nürnberger BC is 2-1 and will play at home after an 86-61 loss at Tubingen in its most recent game. Nürnberger BC opened the season with an 83-79 road win at PS Karlsruhe and followed with an 85-75 home win over Koblenz. The home team has shown balance but will face a Kirchheim side that has yet to lose. Nürnberger BC will need to control tempo and limit Kirchheim’s scoring chances. Its two victories came by four and 10 points, while its only defeat came by 25 points. Nürnberger BC has allowed 79, 75 and 86 points in its three games, while Kirchheim has scored 87, 94 and 104. Nürnberger BC’s home win over Koblenz came after its road win at PS Karlsruhe.

The game offers an early-season test for both clubs. Kirchheim has been one of the stronger offensive teams in the early going, while Nürnberger BC has mixed solid home play with a difficult road result. Nürnberger BC’s home floor could provide an advantage, but Kirchheim’s unbeaten start includes success away from home. The game will be played at Sporthalle des BBZ in Nuremberg, Germany, where Nürnberger BC has one home win. Nürnberger BC will look to protect the ball and convert in the half court, while Kirchheim will try to push the pace and extend its winning run.

After Saturday, Kirchheim next hosts Paderborn before road games at Essen and Koblenz and a home meeting with Heidelberg. Kirchheim’s upcoming slate also includes games against PS Karlsruhe, Tubingen, Bremerhaven, Köln, Crailsheim and Bochum. Nürnberger BC visits Gottingen next, then hosts Artland and travels to Köln and Bremerhaven.
