Keltern women's team secured a convincing 76:57 win against Sinaix MBL Women in the DBBL on Saturday, October 11th. The result extends their perfect start to the campaign and reinforces their position at the top of the table. We had tipped the home side to prevail, and at 69 per cent confidence, we were right.
Keltern arrived with momentum from a 77:53 victory over Eigen Angel Nördlingen on October 4th. They have tasted only one defeat in 22 league outings, a stark contrast to Sinaix's 11 losses at this stage. The visitors sit in sixth place with an identical record of 22 games played.
and here's the thing — the margin tells you everything about the gulf between these sides. Keltern controlled the tempo from the opening tip-off and never let Sinaix find any rhythm. The home side's defensive structure was disciplined, forcing turnovers that led to easy baskets in transition.
Sinaix showed flashes of competitiveness in their last outing, edging past Hannover 81:79, but they couldn't sustain that intensity against a side with championship ambitions. By then, Keltern had already built a cushion that proved insurmountable. Their attack flowed with purpose, while the visitors struggled to answer the pressure.
The statistics reflect the one-sided nature of the contest. Keltern's shooting efficiency was far superior, and their rebounding dominance gave them second-chance opportunities. Sinaix managed to score 57 points, which would have been respectable against a mid-table side, but against the league leaders it simply wasn't enough.
This victory moves Keltern further clear at the summit of the DBBL standings. They now hold a commanding lead over their rivals, with only one defeat to their name all season. Sinaix's season continues to be defined by inconsistency, and Saturday's result adds another chapter to that story.
What stands out about Keltern is their ability to close out games without losing composure. They don't need to run away with matches — three or four decisive moments are enough to settle things. The rest is background noise.
