Caceres are a Spanish second division side who were 9th last season, but were eliminated in the play-off quarter-final by Melilla. Their coach is still Nete Bohigas but they changed the team a lot. Jakstas, Serrano, Frutos, Mockford, all key players last year, have left the club. They will start their pre-season today, and they ran into problems already. Their key point guard Marco, Marcius and Page (who has been thrown off the team) will miss the game. Rakocevic and Nathanaelsson are the only new players who will have his debut today. Coach Bohigas said that they are far from the necessary form because of injuries, that this game has come too soon. They will clearly have to acquire more players. Sevilla have changed their name, they are now officially called Real Betis, they also changed some players. But Zan Tabak's team is solid on paper. In the friendly game against Andorra, which they lost 71-77, Tabak's starting five were Chery-Marc Garcia-Lockett-Nachbar-Zoric. There are some other interesting players, like Sanchez, Milosevic, Riga, Triguero, Radicevic, Stojanovski. They played two more friendlies, lost to Barcelona 80-88, and against Real Madrid but that one was closed.
So today we have a game against mediocre second league side who are missing some key players, with acquisitions from the 4th division, and no pre-season games. Betis are almost in their strongest lineup, they played three pre-season games, their roster is much better, and I don't think the second league side can compete with them. They played a friendly last year, Betis won 95-78, 52-36 at halftime, they played at Caceres who were complete.
