Day 4 of the Basketball Champions League is starting on Tuesday in Russia as things are getting hot in the competition.

After the three weeks of action and 48 games in the Basketball Champions League behind us, there are still 2 teams with a perfect record as medi Bayreuth and AS Monaco started the season with a 3-0 record.
It remains to be seen if they can remain perfect after Day 4 of the Basketball Champions League. Eight matches will be played on Tuesday and eight on Wednesday.
Group A
The first match of this round will be played in this group as Enisey Krasnoyarsk will be hosting Juventus Utena on Tuesday at 13:30 CET.
The unbeaten leader of this group, AS Monaco, will be also playing on Tuesday as they will have perhaps the most difficult opponent so far. They will be traveling to Italy to meet Dinamo Sassari.
Turkish side Pinar Karsiyaka will be hosting Hapoel Halon the only team without a victory in this group. The team from Israel signed ex NBA player Glen Rice Jr and he should be making his Basketball Champions League debut on Tuesday.
On Wednesday EWE Baskets Oldenburg and UCAM Murcia will be playing the last match in this group in Germany. Both teams have two victories and one defeat so far into the season.
Group B
Contrary to group A in group B there will be just one game on Tuesday night and three on Wednesday.
After six losses in the French ProA Elan Chalon recorded their first win on Saturday. They want to build a winning streak as they are meeting PAOK at home on a Tuesday night.
SikeliArchivi Capo d’Orlando is the only team without a victory in group B. Grabbing their first win this week will be very difficult because they are meeting the defending champion Iberostar Tenerife on the road.
Two more games on Wednesday will be played in Latvia and Lithuania.  Ventspils will host MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg and Neptunas Klaipeda will host Gaziantep. Turkish team will be stronger for Rolands Freimanis as they signed him today.
Group C
This week’s program in group C will start with a game between Movistar Estudiantes and Petrol Olimpija on Tuesday in Spain. The Slovenians will try to overcome the might of the hosts and record their first win this season.
On Wednesday three games will be played and the most interesting one will be played in Turkey. Last year’s finalist will, Banvit, will host medi Bayreuth. Turkish side will try to become the first team to defeat Germans in this season.
Rosa Radom is another team in this group without a taste of victory so far alongside with Olimpija. The Polish team will travel to Greece to meet AEK.
The game between  Umana Reyer Venezia and SIG Strasbourg will be closing Day 4 in group C in the Basketball Champions League.
Group D
Three of four matches in group D will start on Tuesday at 18:30 CET and five of eight teams have a 2-1 record. CEZ Nymburk will host Besiktas Sompo Japan as both teams will try to bounce back after suffering losses last week.
Telekom Baskets Bonn is heading to Greece to meet Aris.  The Germans didn’t start this season how they hoped as they have three losses in three games in the Basketball Champions League. Stelmet Zielona Gora will host Sidigas Avellino and last game will be on Wednesday as Nanterre 92 will meet Oostende.
