  • → Game to take place at Le Colisée, Chalon-sur-Saône on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 20:00 Local Time (CET)
  • → Form check: Chalon closed 2025 by beating Nancy; they’ve won six of seven in the BCL and lit up their last two home dates. Promitheas handled Peristeri away in the league and finished the BCL group with a 111–95 win over Rytas.
  • → Context: Play-ins opener. Chalon’s free-flowing offense and home tailwind meet a Promitheas group that’s 4–0 all-time in Play-ins—two of those vs French opponents.

Whistle math, shot-making, and a hot home hand

Chalon have shifted into a confident rhythm at Le Colisée - 90+ in two straight BCL home games, with Jeremiah Hill surging (20+ in his last two at home). The subtext is the whistle: Chalon’s opponents are committing more fouls per game against them than anyone in the competition, and Promitheas rank among the most foul-prone teams.

If Chalon keep the ball moving and keep attacking gaps, they can live at the line and protect their half-court flow without needing a barrage of threes.

Bench punch and Play-ins pedigree

Promitheas arrive with proven Play-ins nerve and a clear shot-creation anchor in Rob Gray. When he gets downhill or snakes to his pull-up, Patras settle into efficient late-clock possessions. The physicality that defines their best nights can also feed that foul count; balancing pressure at the rim with discipline on closeouts will be pivotal in a building where Chalon have recently piled on points.

What could swing it

  • Free throws vs physicality: Chalon’s foul magnetism vs Promitheas’ aggression. Early bonus trips could tilt rotations.
  • Guard scoring runs: Hill’s home heater vs Gray’s Play-ins consistency. One 8–0 burst either way can flip a quarter. Can Promitheas force Hill to take inefficient jumpers?
  • Possession game: If Chalon win the defensive glass and keep turnovers tidy, Promitheas will have to score in the half court rather than in chaos.

Stakes

Game 1 leverage in a best-of-three. Chalon aim to bank the home win and avoid a must-get in Patras; Promitheas are chasing another French scalp to flip the series math before Game 2.
