Euroleague Women Showdown Set for Charleville

CHARLEVILLE, France (Interstat) — A pivotal Euroleague Women matchup tips off here Wednesday as Landerneau (7-5) visits Flammes Carolo Basket (9-11) at Palais Omnisports.

The game is a rematch of a thrilling overtime contest from Oct. 4, which Landerneau won 85-81 at home. Both teams are looking to rebound from losses in their most recent outings this past Sunday.

Landerneau, holding the stronger record, fell 66-56 to Landes despite a standout performance from forward Masseny Kaba. The team’s key player enters Wednesday in strong form, averaging 14 points and 7.7 rebounds over her last three games. Her 19-point, 9-rebound effort against Landes highlights her two-way impact.

Flammes, struggling below .500, dropped a 67-59 decision at Montpellier. Their consistency relies heavily on forward Elizabeth Dixon, who recorded a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds) in that loss. Dixon has been a steady force, averaging 10.6 points and 9.8 rebounds over her last five contests.

The home team will need to contain Kaba and find more offensive production beyond Dixon to improve its league standing. Landerneau, meanwhile, aims to leverage its winning record and previous head-to-head victory to secure a crucial road win.

Wednesday’s result will set the tone for both clubs ahead of busy January schedules. Landerneau hosts Villeneuve on Saturday, while Flammes face a tough road test at Bourges the same day.

Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. local time (1900 GMT) in Charleville.
