“Prometheus” – “Hamburg” meeting will be held in Riga on Tuesday, April 11th. The fight begins at 7:00 pm Kyiv time. The match will be broadcast live on Setanta Sports Ukraine+ TV channel.

After winning LABL, the Titans had little time to enjoy their victories. Just three days later, Slobozhans will have to start their European Cup qualifiers. And if, before the end of the group stage, the wards of Ronen Ginzburg were given the role of one of the favorites of the competition, then after Prometheus lost four key players due to injuries in the last two weeks, the prospects of the current champions Ukraine do not look so rosy.

And here “Prometheus” comes to the aid of the brilliant performance in the regular season of the second European Cup in terms of status. Thanks to the group title, Slobozhans, who captured the home advantage until the final, will be the German Hamburg, who finished the opponents of the Titans in the 18th final stage, the starting round of the playoffs. eighth in group B

Basketball club “Hamburg Towers” (that’s what the full name of the team sounds like) is a fairly young team. It was founded in 2013 and has been a member of the elite German division from the 2019/2020 season. And if the first year in which it remained among the best “Hamburg” failed to bring itself into existence (seventeenth place), then in the next two seasons the seventh-placed team went to the playoffs, where at the quarter-finals stage it stopped the path to the next tournament. In the current Bundesliga championship, Prometheus’ opponent is currently in 14th place (a total of 18 teams participate in the tournament), and only a sporting miracle can help Hamburg make the playoffs.

The team has been participating in the European Cup for the past two seasons. In the final draw of the tournament, the German club took seventh place in its group, winning six of sixteen games, then losing in the 1/8 final to Spanish Valencia. And this season Hamburg finished eighth in just eighteen games with the same number of wins, slipping from the final pass into the postseason.

According to regular season results, Hamburg basketball players like American big man Yoeli Childs (average of 14.1 points + 8.9 rebounds per game in the European Cup) and his countryman McColum (11.9 points + 5.7 assists) playing in the back row of the German team Kendale. Swiss defender Anthony Polite joined the team in January (15.6 points + 5.6 rebounds in eight games).

Most Ukrainian basketball fans are probably familiar with the staffing situation at Prometheus before the European Cup playoffs begin. In the past two weeks, the Slobozhansky club lost four basketball players simultaneously (Kaleb Agada, DJ Kennedy, Denis Lukashov and DJ Stephens). However, it is hoped that the damage to the latter will not be so serious, and the “flying” American will be able to take part in today’s game.

Of course, with their full squad, Prometheus will be the clear favorites in Hamburg. However, after a series of injuries in Ronen Ginzburg’s wards, the teams’ chances seem about equal. In European Cup qualifiers, there is no time for savings. At all stages up to the final, everything will be decided in a single game. So today, the remaining Prometheus players will need to play for themselves and the infirmaries to continue the season and get into the top eight teams of the tournament.
