Sport in brief: December 19, 2023

MEN’S BASKETBALL: Group A table-toppers Paris will be looking to seal their place in the play-offs when they host second-bottom Hamburg in the EuroCup tomorrow evening.

Their nearest challengers Tel-Aviv take on Venice and third-placed London are up against Ukraine’s Prometey Slobozhanske.

London suffered a shock home defeat to Hamburg in the last round while Prometey saw off Besiktas to secure a fourth win in their last five games.

MEN’S CYCLING: Tadej Pogacar has announced that he will compete in the Giro D’Italia for the first time next year before making another attempt to reclaim the Tour de France crown.

Unlike last season the Slovenian will not compete in any cobbled or Ardennes classics instead planning to concentrate on Italian races, starting his season at the Strade Bianchi, moving onto the seven stage Tirreno-Adriatico and also racing the Milan-Sanremo.

MEN’S ICE HOCKEY: Manchester Storm need a minor miracle tomorrow when they visit high-flying Sheffield for their Challenge Cup quarter final second leg trailing 5-1 from the first game.

Things are all square in tomorrow evening’s other last-eight fixture as form-team Coventry travel to Cup holders Belfast with the score standing at 1-1. Tomorrow night’s winners will join Glasgow and Guildford in the last four.

WOMEN’S FOOTBALL: The Women’s Champions League returns tomorrow evening with the return matches from last week in Groups C and D.

Chelsea will be aiming to improve on their 0-0 draw with Group D leaders Hacken when they visit Gothenburg while Real Madrid need a win at home to Paris FC to climb off the bottom of the table.

Ajax host Bayern Munich and Paris St Germain are at Roma in Group C.
