Hamburg-Prometheus. Prediction and announcement for the European Cup match
The match between Hamburg and Prometheus will be played in Germany on Tuesday, December 5. The match will start at 20.30 Kyiv time.
Half of the distance has been completed in the 2023/2024 European Cup regular championship. And this week the second round of the group tournament will begin. For Prometheus, the match will start with an away game, and the Hamburg Towers club, which is outside Group A, will oppose Ronen Ginzburg’s accusations.
Representatives of Germany’s largest port city are having a frankly poor run this season in Europe’s second biggest cup tournament. In the last nine rounds, the team won only one victory, and although purely mathematically “Hamburg” has not yet lost its chance at the playoffs, it is already clear that only a great sports miracle can help the thirty-five wards. Year-old coach Benka Barloszka continues his post-season campaign. Apart from the results, the performance of the German club is also disappointing. Only once in eight lost matches (in the match against the London Lions) did the Bundesliga representatives fall more than ten points behind their opponent, while almost all other matches were uniform defeats. Hamburg’s only bright spot in the tournament so far has been her victory over fellow outsider Cedevita Olympia in the seventh round.
Results of all matches of the German club in the European Cup 2023/2024:

Prometheus’ closest rival performs much better in the local championship. After ten matches played in the German Bundesliga, Hamburg have a record of six wins and four losses and currently sit in seventh place in the standings. However, it must be admitted that Hamburg has not yet played with many of the strongest teams in German basketball.
Officially, Ronen Ginzburg’s team opened the current European Cup season with a home match against the German club. And at this meeting, held on October 4, the “giants” did not have any major problems with the Bundesliga representative. The Ukrainian club finished the first quarter with a comfortable 20-point advantage (35:15) and then easily took the lead to victory. The final siren recorded the figures on the scoreboard as 97:77 in favor of the Slobozhansky club. The most productive player of that match for Prometheus was American Marcus Keane (19 points), who left the club. American defender Aljami Durham, who scored 15 points, was also included in the Hamburg squad.
Compared to the previous match against the Bundesliga representative, Prometheus will look like a completely different team. Basketball fans are aware of the Titans’ personnel changes both internally and externally. And as of now, in Germany, Gian Clavell and Denis Lukashov, who appeared on the field in the jersey of the Slobozhansky club last Saturday and helped the Estonian “Tartu to beat with confidence”, are expected to make their debut in the 2023/2024 European Cup. ” – 93:71.
Ronen Ginzburg’s team cannot afford to stumble in the match against Hamburg. The German club has little claim to anything, but given the huge concentration in the standings, losing the winning result in a match with an outsider could give the direct rivals of the Ukrainian team a huge advantage in the fight for the title. The “Titans” may not have time to win back until the end of the group stage and play-offs. So “Prometheus” will need to approach the current struggle with all responsibility and not allow a negative outcome for himself.
