Hoventud – Prometheus. Prediction and announcement for the European Cup match

The meeting between Hoventut and Prometheus will take place on Wednesday, November 2nd, in Spain. The fight starts at 21.15 Kyiv time. The match will be broadcast live on Xsport and Setanta Sports TV channels.

After a brilliant victory against a very strong Turkish Bursaspor, an even tougher test awaits Prometheus in the European Cup. As part of the fourth round, the current champions of Ukraine fly to Spain, where in Badalona they will play with Joventut, one of the strongest teams of the second European Cup in terms of status.

The Catalan club has a glorious past. Joventut was founded in 1930 and during its 92-year history has managed to win the European Champions Cup (1993/1994 season), ULEB Cup (2007/2008 season), FIBA ​​European Cup (2005/2006 season) . as well as two Korac Cups. At home, Joventut has won the Spanish Championship four times, the Spanish Cup eight times and the Spanish Super Cup twice.

At the moment, the rival of Prometheus in Spain belongs to the so-called favorites of the second tier, who are slightly shorter than the recognized giants of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but breathe behind local tops. So, in the last championship of Spain, Joventut took fourth place in the regular season, passed Tenerife in the quarter-final playoff series – 2: 1 and opened his arms in front of Barcelona in the semi-finals – 1: 3. This season, the Catalonia club has three wins in their assets after playing six games and is in the middle of the DIA League standings with three losses in passives.

Prometheus’ closest rival started the 2022/2023 European Cup with a confident win at home against Italian Brescia – 80:63, followed by a somewhat unexpected away fiasco in the Bursaspor match – 72:81 and with Hoventut in the third round. he also celebrated his first away victory by beating Cedevita Olympia – 100:78.

As part of black and green (these are the main colors of the club in Badalona), Prometheus will face the defending champion of EuroBasket 2022, as part of the Spanish national team Joel Parra. And how can you not remember Rudy Fernandez, one of the greatest Spanish basketball players in history and shadow hero of EuroBasket 2022, was just a student of Joventut.

In addition to Joel Parra, current Joventut key players include Croatian tall man with vast experience in Euroleague Ante Tomic (15.5 points average in the DIA League + 13 points in the European Cup), his American frontfielder Henry Ellenson ( 10.5 points in the Spanish championship + 12.3 points in the international arena) and another foreigner from the USA (13.5 points in the domestic championship + 11.7 points in the European Cup), playing as the offensive defender Kyle Guy, who spent his first season in Europe.

But the list of serious basketball players in the squad of the Catalan club does not end there. Veteran Spanish defender Pau Ribas, who won the FIBA ​​European Cup and ULEB Cup with Joventut in the 2000s and subsequently played enough in the Euroleague with Barcelona and other Spanish teams, deserves more attention to his personality. Andres Feliz of the Dominican Republic national team is French forward William Howard, who was recognized as the MVP of the thirteenth round of the Euroleague as part of Asvela last season. In general, the composition of the Badalona team really has a claim to victory in the European Cup.

Today Prometheus will be faced with a difficult task. Hoventut is a strong club even by the standards of the DIA League (Europe’s strongest national championship) and is among the favorites of the tournament in the European Cup. However, it would be very beneficial for the Titans to test their ambitions against a similar team early in the season. Ronen Ginsburg’s guards will have to work hard to get the win from Catalonia, but the experience of playing with Bursaspor shows that the Ukrainian club has the ability to make a surprise.
