Tuesday Preview: Who will triumph in the battle of the falcons in Group H?

MUNICH (FIBA Europe Cup) - Four games on Tuesday will tip off another week of action in the FIBA Europe Cup, with the fixture between Falco Vulcano and Karposh Sokoli taking center stage.

Having gained momentum after defeating Szolnoki Olaj on their home floor in Szombathely, the Hungarian falcons will be aiming to make it two wins in a row in Group H against their counterparts from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

After starting their campaign with two heavy double-digit defeats, the Karposh side will be searching for their first win against a team that also has a falcon on the crest of their logo.

Elsewhere, ESSM Le Portel face off against Bosna in Group A, Proximus Spirou host Bnei Rav-Bariach Herzliya in Group F, while Belfius Mons-Hainaut entertain the struggling Khimik in Group G.
