Derthona Hosts Rostock at Home

Derthona will host Rostock Seawolves in Week 5 of EuroCup Group C. The game starts at 19:30 at the Nova Arena in Tortona.

The home side returns to action right after losing to Napoli in Italy's Serie A. Having beaten Burgos, Derthona want to turn their European record positive for the first time and strengthen their position in the race for the top four of the group.

Rostock have made a poor start to the season, with 1 win and 3 defeats. The German side, who suffered a clear loss to Aris in their last European game, stand out for their fast-paced style of play.

Derthona head coach Mario Fioretti stresses that his team must be careful against the one-on-one play of Crockett and Copeland and the opponent's high tempo. The team is expected to be balanced and energetic on defense and consistent for 40 minutes. The aim is to avoid repeating the short collapses seen in the Napoli game.
