Preview
Lattes Montpellier are dealing with significant injury problems ahead of this match, with captain Romane Berniès, Garance Rabot and Christelle Diallo already unavailable. BLMA managed to grind out an 80-74 victory against newly promoted La Tronche-Meylan in their last league round. However, another concern has emerged following Laura Zolper’s injury, which forced her to leave that game in 13th minute without returning to the court. According to the latest information, she is highly doubtful for this fixture and her potential absence would represent another major setback. After the first two rounds, Zolper has averaged 12.5 points, 4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
Montpellier have brought in two point guards, Taylor Murray and Mathilde Domenger in an attempt to strengthen their backcourt. However, Murray is ineligible to play in the European Cup, further limiting the team’s options for this competition. With several key players already missing and Zolper’s availability uncertain, BLMA could struggle to cope with a strong opponent.
Gorzów is in outstanding form, having won six consecutive matches. They have made an impressive start to their European campaign, demolishing Panserraikos 87-63 before recording a dominant 83-105 victory over Ensino. With several quality foreign players, including three Americans, the Polish side possess considerable offensive firepower and appear well equipped to exploit Montpellier’s weakened rotation.
I believe this line offers significant value
