Prometheus – Ratiopharm. Prediction and announcement for Eurocup match
The meeting between Prometheus and Ratiopharm will take place on Wednesday, November 30 in Kaunas. The fight begins at 7:00 pm Kyiv time. The match will be broadcast live on Xsport and Setanta Sports Ukraine+ TV channels.
After a tough win against Slovenian Cedevita Olympia, Ukraine’s current champions’ first away win in a European Cup, Prometheus will host their next opponent in the group stage of the second most important European Cup. From Ulm he will visit the German Ratiopharm Titans, but this match will be different from the other home matches of the Ukrainian club.
It is known that Prometheus supposedly held their home games in Riga, which has become a real second home for Ukrainian basketball in this difficult time. However, due to the busyness of Arena Riga, the Slobozhansky club had to look for another place to meet with Ratiopharm. And here another Baltic country extended a helping hand to the Ukrainians. The Prometheus match will play against the Germans in Kaunas at the Zalgiris Arena, one of the best basketball courts in Europe, which regularly hosts Euroleague games and is a favorite to host the Final Four 2022/2023 in Europe’s main basketball competition.
German Ratiofarm will come to test the parquet on Zalgiris’s court with Prometheus. If the Ukrainian club is the first player of the European Cup, then for Ulm basketball players this season is an anniversary, this is the tenth within the framework of the tournament. However, in all this time, our competitor has not achieved much success in the international arena. The best results for the Germans are the two quarter-finals in the seasons 2012/2013 and 2021/2022.
Ratiopharm is still among the middle villagers of the European Cup this season. After five games played, Anton Havel has two wins and three losses in his wards.
Here is the full list of results of basketball players from Ulm in the European Cup:
October 11 “Ratiopharm” (Germany) – “Venice” (Italy) – 81:80
October 19th. Litkabelis (Lithuania) – Ratiopharm (Germany) – 80:76
October 26. Ratiopharm (Germany) – Brescia (Italy) – 90:98 (OT)
10 November. Bursaspor (Turkey) – Ratiopharm (Germany) – 86:90
December 8th. Ratiopharm (Germany) – Hoventut (Spain) – 54:68
Regarding the Ratiopharm staff, it is worth saying that the German club has long been known as a franchise that skillfully develops young talents. And now the team includes such promising young defenders as Juan Nunez, an 18-year-old on loan from Real Madrid (who in the near future will be appointed to the role of the main first number of the Spanish national team) and a very promising 19-year-old. -former Montenegrin Fedor Zugic.
Prometheus went to Lithuania with full force, including the previously wounded Ilya Sidorov. So, in the match against the German team, we look forward to the return of our defender after an injury in the match for the national team, and the long-awaited debut of big man James Dickey for the Titans in international fights. Prior to that, the American played only in the Latvian-Estonian Basketball League matches for the Ukrainian club.
Games in Kaunas will be featured for “giants” this season (looking forward, I’ll say two are planned so far). However, you do not have the opportunity to play in official matches in such arenas every day. Given that Ronen Ginsburg’s wards showed a real masculine character last week and won two very difficult matches with Cedevita Olympia and Ventspils, the fans of the Sloboda team have every right to expect the streak to continue and Zalgiris Arena has every chance. Lucky place for Prometheus.
