Preview: Who will advance to the 2025 Final? - EuroCup Women 2024-25

The EuroCup Women Semi-Finals feature two matchups played over two legs, with the highest-seeded team enjoying home advantage in the second leg. The games are scheduled for Thursday, March 6 and Thursday, March 13.

In the first Semi-Final, Sopron Basket, aiming for their first EuroCup title after winning EuroLeague Women, enters with strong form (10 wins from 12 games). They face Villeneuve d'Ascq LM, the 2014 champions, who are currently on a roll after tough matchups. A key individual battle is Jacinta Monroe (Sopron) vs Aminata Gueye (Villeneuve). The 'X-Factor' is seen as which team implements the strongest defensive strategy to contain the other's high-scoring offense. Statistically, Villeneuve dominates points in the paint (40.3 ppg vs Sopron's 25.3) and offensive rebounds (13 per game vs Sopron's 8.5).

The second Semi-Final pits LDLC ASVEL Feminin, seeking a second title in three editions, against rookie underdogs BAXI Ferrol. ASVEL, having eliminated strong teams, features the in-form teenage duo of Dominique Malonga and Juste Jocyte. Ferrol continues their surprising run, fueled by players like Angela Mataix and Gala Mestres. A key matchup is Claire Melia (Ferrol) vs Dominique Malonga (ASVEL). While Malonga and Jocyte draw attention, veteran Julie Wojta (ASVEL) is highlighted as a potential 'X-Factor' due to her all-around play and strong shooting. Statistically, the teams are very closely matched, but ASVEL holds a clear advantage in transition scoring (19.5 fast break points per game vs Ferrol's 12.2), while Ferrol averages more second-chance points (14.5 vs opponents' 9.5).
