The duel between the Liepāja and Ventspils teams has always produced interesting and exciting games in Latvian basketball, with emotions running high both on and off the court. The home team, Liepāja/Triobet, began the season with two defeats, losing away to VEF Rīga and then suffering an overtime defeat against Jūrmala/Fēnikss in Liepāja. Meanwhile, Liepāja/Triobet's upcoming opponents, BK Ventspils, have started the season with two convincing victories, overcoming BK Jēkabpils and Ogre/Kumho Tyre. 

Immediately after the Kurzeme derby, on Saturday, 8 October at 19:00, watch VEF Rīga's first game of the season against Khimki of the Moscow Region in the VTB League on the Best4sportTV channel. VEF Rīga have started the season with two victories in the Olybet LBL. On Saturday, they face a more serious test—Khimki of the Moscow Region. The team were the VTB League champions in the 2010–11 season and are two-time ULEB Eurocup champions. During the offseason, Khimki strengthened their roster with Earl Rowland, well known to Latvian basketball fans, as well as Perry Jones, who played in the NBA last season. Will VEF Rīga make an equally successful start in the VTB League?

Their upcoming opponents, Unicaja of Málaga, began the season with a loss to Real Madrid. Which team will manage to claim its first victory of the ACB Liga Endesa regular season?
