Cedevita Olympia – Prometheus. Prediction and announcement for the European Cup match

The meeting between Cedevita Olimpia and Prometheus will take place on Tuesday, November 22, in Slovenia. The fight begins at 21:00 Kyiv time. The match will be broadcast live by Xsport and Setanta Sports Ukraine TV channels.

After the break given to the matches of the national teams, the competition in the European basketball cups starts again. Prometheus will be the first of two Ukrainian representatives to continue their fight in the continental arena, going to the Balkans, especially Slovenia, in the fifth round of the 2022/2023 European Cup. In this country, the wards of Ronen Ginsburg will play with local Cedevita Olympia.

Rival “Prometheus” is a rare, if not unique, phenomenon in basketball Europe. Cedevita Olimpia was founded in June 2019 by combining two teams from different countries (Slovenian Olimpia and Croatian Cedevita) into one organization. Usually, such club associations take place on a state scale, and often one of them significantly exceeds the second in terms of budget or other characteristics. Here both teams had a rich history, championships won, Euroleague performances and the unity of the two teams was based on equal rights. The new club was called Cedevita Olympia and was headquartered in Ljubljana.

Olimpia and Cedevita were continental middle peasants in the last years of their separate history. So far the united club has occupied the same niche in basketball Europe. In the first years of its existence, the team did not win the Adriatic League (the strongest club tournament in the Balkans, you can say the championship of the countries of the former Yugoslavia in its modern form) and showed strong results in European competition. . The only thing the basketball players from Ljubljana managed to do was become the greatest in basketball in Slovenia (they have won the last two championships). However, this title was already given to a separate Olympia.

This season Cedevita Olympia is also not impressive yet. In the Adriatic League, the team won four out of six matches and lost two. Currently, the club is seventh in the standings with one game in hand. And in the European Cup, after the first part of the regular season, Prometheus’ opponent took the place of someone from outside the group. The Slovenian Grand was the only team in Group A that did not win even a single victory in four rounds.

Two American defenders set the tone for the Slovenian club – Yogi Ferrell (19.7 points + 4.3 assists, 24.7 PPS per Eurocup game) and Josh Adams (15 points + 4.5 rebounds + 4 assists), 12, 2 performance points. average in the European Cup). It is worth noting that Yogi Ferrell played a lot in the NBA, most recently from 2016 to 2021. 268 matches in the strongest league in the world thanks to the defense. Leading the front line is local tall Alen Omich (10 points + 9.8 rebounds, average 15.5 efficiency in the international arena) Alen Omich, who has not traveled very well after getting off to a brilliant start to his career at Olimpia. He returned across Europe and almost in a domestic team.

During a short break, Slobozhansky “Prometheus” managed to strengthen the composition. The great American man James Dickey joined the team. The US representative started the season as part of the French Burg (another Titans rival in the European Cup) and even managed to play for them in the first round match against Romanian Cluj, but was soon expelled from the team. The newcomer managed to play two matches in the LEBL for Prometheus and now we are waiting for his debut for the Ukrainian club in the European Cup.

Wards Ronen Ginsburg seems to be the favorite for the upcoming fight. In terms of both individual and team indicators, Prometheus looks stronger than Cedevita Olimpia and the club’s unsuccessful start from Ljubljana confirms that its opponent is not from the top group. However, there are two nuances. Firstly, it is always difficult to play in the Balkans, and secondly – the last two matches in Tallinn were very difficult and meaningless for the Titans. It is very likely that it is in a somewhat disassembled state after the prefab “Prometheus” window. We hope Ronen Ginsburg will fix everything quickly. The decisive matches in the European Cup are still far away, but Prometheus has to win games against similar rivals.
