Grengevald Hüscher secured a 79-67 victory over Amical Stössel in the Total League on Friday evening. The away side took control early and saw the game out despite a spirited second half from the hosts. The result leaves Stössel sitting fourth in the table after 22 matches.
The home side had been building momentum with wins against Ésh and Bertrandge, but this defeat ended a run of three positive results. They now face the prospect of dropping further down the standings if they cannot contain opposition like Hüscher.
Stössel's recent form has been uneven at best. They beat Ésh 91-61 and Bertrandge 95-91, but losses to Racing Luxembourg and Ettelbruck showed vulnerability against stronger opposition. The 64-60 win over Ésh was their most consistent display in the last five games.
Hüscher came into this fixture with mixed results. A heavy 105-94 defeat to BBC Solvür was followed by a 85-61 loss to Walferdange, but the 84-83 victory over Musel Pyx showed they could compete in close games. This win suggests they have found some rhythm.
The result means Stössel remain in fourth place, though the gap to teams around them could widen. Hüscher's away performance will give them confidence, but consistency remains the question mark for both sides going forward.
