Cedevita Olympia – Prometheus. Eurocup match prediction and announcement
The meeting between Cedevita Olympia and Prometheus will take place on Wednesday, October 25 in Slovenia. The match will start at 19.30 Kyiv time.
Following a disappointing home defeat to London Lions, Ronen Ginzburg’s men are set to visit Slovenia. In this country, the “titans” will play with the local champion “Cedevita Olympia”. It is worth noting that for the second time in a row the draw brings together teams in the regular championship of the European Cup, and even in the in-season schedule everything is as similar as possible. Last year, the teams competed in the fifth round of the second European Cup in the Balkans, and this time in the fourth round.
Prometheus’ opponent is a rare, if not unique, phenomenon in European basketball. Cedevita Olimpia was founded in June 2019 by merging two teams from different countries (Slovenian Olimpia and Croatian Cedevita) into a single organization. Typically, such club mergers occur on a state scale, and often one of them significantly exceeds the second in terms of budget or other characteristics. Both teams had a rich history behind them here, they won championships, played in the Euroleague, and the unity of the two teams was based on equal rights. The new club was called “Cedevita Olimpia” and was located in Ljubljana.
Olimpia and Cedevita were the middle peasants of the continent in the last years of their separate history. For now, the combined club occupies the same place in European basketball. In the first years of its existence, the team could not win the Adriatic League (the strongest club tournament in the Balkans, we can call it the championship of the countries of the former Yugoslavia in its modern form) and failed to show strong results in Europe. competitions. The only thing that the basketball players from Ljubljana achieved was to become the greats of basketball in Slovenia (the last three championships were won). However, this title had already been given to a separate “Olympia”.
This season Cedevita Olympia is also not impressive yet. In the Adriatic League, the team had 2 wins and 2 defeats in 4 matches. The club currently sits eighth in the rankings. Prometheus’ rival also failed in the Adriatic League Super Cup (the tournament was held before the start of the season), losing three out of three matches to non-higher-placed teams and finishing last, in eighth place. In the European Cup, the Slovenian team, after the first part of the regular season, could not win a single victory in the first three rounds, despite the strong Spanish team Joventut and the match in the Balkans, and gained a place among the foreigners. fell just short of their first victory.
Results of the 2023/2024 European Cup Cedevita Olimpia matches:
October 3. Hapoel Tel Aviv (Israel) – Cedevita Olimpia (Slovenia) – 100:73
11 October. “Cedevita Olimpia” (Slovenia) – “Joventut” (Spain) – 87:88 (Overtime)
18 October. “Beşiktaş” (Turkey) – “Cedevita Olimpia” (Slovenia) – 73:66
The Slovenian club’s game was led by US defenders Justin Cobbs (19 points + 4 assists, an average of 23 efficiency points per game in the European Cup) and Slovenian Jaka Blazic (13.7 points + 5.3 rebounds + 1.3 assists, 14.0 points per game). assist) determines. efficiency rating in the European Cup average). It is impossible not to pay attention to the technical directorship of Cedevita Olimpia, where Simone Pianizdani has been working since the beginning of this season. One of the best Italian basketball coaches of our time, he made a name for himself by leading Siena’s best team in the late 2000s, after which he confidently took his place in the pool of elite coaches. In total, Pianigiani has six titles in Italy (five with Siena and one with Milan) and one in Israel in the 2016/2017 season, when Hapoel Jerusalem sensationally pushed local hegemon Maccabi Tel-A from the top spot. In Aviv.” The Italian spent the last three years in China, managing the Beijing Ducks and earning a very good salary in the Middle Kingdom, but returned to Europe before the start of this season.
“Prometheus” headed to Slovenia after a mission victory at LEBL. Last Saturday, the “giants” did not leave Latvian “Liepaja” a chance for 103:70. The squad is still missing Issouf Sanon and Davon Reed, who are still recovering from injuries and unable to fly to Ljubljana. In return, Cedevita Olimpia received solid support ahead of the upcoming match. The team was supplemented by the famous attacker Klemen Prepelich, whose biography includes such status teams as Spanish Real Madrid, Joventut, Valencia, French Limoges and others, with an excellent three-point shot.
The Ukrainian club seems to be the favorite in the upcoming match. In terms of both individual and overall team indicators, Prometheus looks stronger than Cedevita Olimpija, and the club’s unsuccessful start from Ljubljana confirms that its rival is not from the upper group. However, we have two caveats. The first is that it is always difficult to play in the Balkans, and the second is that the last two matches in the European arena were very difficult and meaningless for the “giants”. It looks like Prometheus is a bit disassembled at the moment. Here’s hoping Ronen Ginsburg fixes things quickly. Decisive matches in the European Cup are still far away, but the Slobozhans have to win in matches against such opponents.

Greek “Panathinaikos” The team faced serious personnel problems due to the flu epidemic.
Eight players and three members of the coaching staff were immediately diagnosed with influenza A with severe symptoms.
Panathinaikos has shown good form in recent matches, but flu A has spread to Greece and has affected the team, which will most likely lead to the postponement of the Greek championship match against Maroussi, scheduled for December 27.
The problem is not only related to the championship match, but also to the derby against Olympiacos in the Euroleague, which is scheduled for January 2, as the epidemic prevents the team’s normal preparations.
Since many players have severe symptoms, no one can say for sure how the disease will progress and when everyone will be healthy.
The names of the sick people have not been disclosed at this time.
