The scenario that sees Prometheus finish 2nd in their group in the BCL and leads to a “civil war” with Peristeri bwin in the play-in of the competition

Prometheus fulfills its obligations in the group stage of the Basketball Champions League today (December 19th) and meets the Czech Republic in Opava (7:30 p.m., Cosmote Sport 7 and LIVE from Sportish) for the 6th – and final – matchday.

Patrinoi have a record of 2-3 so far and are in 3rd place, having secured their presence in the play-in phase (where the teams that finish 2nd and 3rd in the groups take part) .

Right above him is Ritas Vilnius with a record of 3-2, with the two teams splitting the wins in the games and both winning by a difference of 2 points. And this is where the situation gets complicated, as the Lithuanians have a total point difference of +52, while Prometheus has +38.

What Prometheus will find out today (December 19th) is whether it will finish in 2nd or 3rd place, which depends on the outcome of Rita Vilnius’ match against Dijon. Specifically: If the Lithuanians win, they will definitely come second. It becomes clear that if Prometheus is defeated, the Patrinos automatically come third. But there is also a scenario that gives the Patrinos second place.

Specifically, Prometheus needs a loss against Rita Vilnius and a win over Opava, but with an asterisk: should this combination of results occur, Prometheus would have to overcome the +14 that Rita Vilnius has ahead of it in overall point difference (+52 Lithuanians, +38 Prometheus ).

For example: If Prometheus wins by one point, Ritas must lose by at least 14 points (in this case, Patrinoi has a total point difference of +39 and Ritas Vilnius +38). If Prometheus wins by 5 points, the Lithuanians must lose by at least 10 points (then Prometheus is +43 and Rita is +42).

As a reminder, if Prometheus finishes second, they have home advantage against Peristeri bwin in the play-in phase (they are definitely third in Group A), while if they finish third, they have home advantage against Le Mans (definitely second in Group A ). Group A). Qualification will be decided based on the two wins.
