Berlin (dpa / bb) - Alba Berlin travels to the last league game of the basketball Bundesliga without great pressure - actually.

The Berliners compete at the Niners Chemnitz on Sunday (3 p.m. / Magentasport).

In terms of sport, the game is meaningless for both teams.

Alba is already in second place in the table, Chemnitz is sure to stay in the class.

"But we want to win there too and continue to improve," announced Alba's sports director Himar Ojeda.

Because for Berliners it is important to keep the tension high.

"We can't just switch off now," said Ojeda.

The game with the Saxons is also the dress rehearsal for the Cup Final Four a week later in Munich.

Therefore, the sports director does not believe that his team could not go into the game with the right attitude.

"This team can't do that anyway," he said.

And after the cup, the championship playoffs begin.

Before the last matchday on Sunday, the Hamburg Towers would be the opponents of the quarter-finals.

But ratiopharm Ulm would still be possible as a counterparty.

But Alba only looks at herself.

The aim is to get in the best possible shape in the coming weeks.

“It's about playing with the right style and confidence.

With clarity and aggressiveness, ”said Captain Niels Giffey.

Ojeda also warns against taking the upcoming opponent Chemnitz lightly.

"They have had some ups and downs this season, but should not be underestimated," said the Spaniard.

Recently, however, Chemnitz has been going downhill.

Six of the past seven games have been lost.
