Prometheus – Bursaspor. Prediction and announcement for the European Cup match
The match between Prometheus and Bursaspor will be held on Wednesday, October 26 in Riga. The fight starts at 19.00 Kyiv time. The match will be broadcast live on Xsport TV channel.
In the third match week of the European Cup struggles, Prometheus faced a very tough opponent. Bursaspor, which reached the final of the European Cup sensationally in the 2021/2022 season, will visit the wards of Ronen Ginsburg.
The Turkish club has started the final draw of the second strongest continental tournament in middle peasant status. It was expected to get past the group stage and possibly a stage or two of the playoffs. And at first Bursaspor was not impressive. They finished only seventh out of ten teams in the group, but after that Prometheus caught the game and made a sensational finale, eliminating one of Partizan Belgrade’s main favourites, along the way. And only in the final, the victorious pace of the Turkish club was stopped by the Italian Virtus from Bologna.
As is often the case in team sports, after such a departure, the leading players left the team, moving to wealthier and more status clubs. First of all, we are talking about American Andrew Andrews and Kevarrius Hayes, who are currently playing in the Euroleague.
However, in the off-season, the Turks retained head coach Dusan Alimpievich from Serbia and notable basketball players such as American defender Derek Needem with a Montenegrin passport (Ukrainian orange ball fans should remember him from his performances Yuzhnensky Khimik) and big man Dave Dudzinski from the USA . After competent targeted reinforcements, Bursaspor approached the start of the new season as one of the best clubs in the European Cup.
The start of the season was clearly a success for the team. In the Turkish championship, Bursaspor, along with Fenerbahçe, are in the lead with no loss in the four starting rounds. Also, last Sunday, “Prometheus” created a real sensation by beating “Efes Pilsen” – the current champion of Euroleague and one of the strongest teams in the continent – 88:86.
In the European Cup, the Turkish club has not been defeated so far. Bursaspor defeated Cedevita Olympia away with 81:73 in the first round and defeated the host Spanish Joventut 81:72 on the second match day, and this win was accepted as one of the main candidates of the tournament.
In addition to the aforementioned American Needham and Dudzinski, at the start of the season, American defender Anthony Clemmons (average 11 points in Turkish Championship games + 12.5 points in European Cup) and Jordanian tall man Ahmad Al- Dwayri are very important names on the front lines of Bursaspor. . In the national championship, he averages ten rebounds per game, and in the international arena, his indicators are eight rebounds per fight.
However, the favorite of Bursaspor fans is striker Onuralp Bitim. The Turkish basketball player is spending his second season in the team, and during this time he became the leader of the team from rookie. His performance in the Turkish Championship is 22.8 points per game, and in European Cup matches – 17 points.
In terms of the individual level of the players, Prometheus is quite high, albeit lower than Bursaspor. However, the match played by the Slobozhan club in Italy last week and the excellent form of the Turkish team at the beginning of the season make the Bursa club the favorite of the next match.
