BC "Prometey" - BC "Valmiera GLASS VIA" (Valmiera, Latvia). January 14. 20:30. Latvian-Estonian basketball league Pafbet. Riga (Latvia). Rimi Olympic Centre. Broadcast - "DIVISPORT BASKETBALL" YouTube channel.
After “Prometey” attained its jubilee 10 in a row victory in this season (herewith, “red and white” played five last matches on the road), our team may open the second dozen of the similar successes. Within the Latvian-Estonian league, the best club of Ukraine will host at their arena at the Olympic Centre Rimi in Riga a representative of Latvia BC “Valmiera GLASS VIA”.
The rival of “Prometey” currently has the worst tournament indicators in the league among the teams of its country: 14th place with 3 wins in 17 matches. In the first round, Ronen Ginzburg’s teame easily proved their precedence over the opponents, surpassed them in the away match with a score of 115:58. This +57 points differential is still a tournament-high in the current season. Until the last days of 2022, one more achievement, which was recorded in the confrontation with “Valmiera”, belonged to “Prometey” – 115 scored points. It was beaten by our team on December 30 in the match with Estonian “Keila”: now, the record of effectiveness in the LEBL season is 117 points.
Turning back to the upcoming match of “Prometey” with “Valmiera”, it worth noting that during three months, passed since the first official game of the teams, the balance in this confrontation hardly has changed. The “red and white” approach it in the status of an obvious favourite. At the same time, we need to consider the fact, that quite often in the games of teams from the opposite poles of the tournament standings, far classier opponent might have certain problems. For example, in the penultimate match of “Prometey” within the LEBL its rival “RakvereTarvas” looked pretty attractive in some segments of the match.
Tomorrow’s battle will demonstrate what “Valmiera GLASS VIA” will manage to contrast “Prometey”. To follow the course of events in the match watch a video broadcast on January 14 on YouTube channel “DIVISPORT BASKETBALL”, starting at 20:30.
