BC "Prometey" - BC "Kyiv-Basket". December 19. 16:00. Windrose Superleague. 12th tour. Slobozhanske. SC Slobozhansky. Broadcast - Obozrevatel, fbu.ua

The current week for "Prometey" is marked by confrontations with the capital's clubs, which are in the top three of the Windrose Superleague. On Monday, all basketball fans had opportunity to enjoy the tense match in Kyiv between Budivelnik and the championship leader, and tomorrow, on December 19, the Red and Whites will host Kyiv-Basket, which in the first matches of the 12th tour conceded second place the standings exactly to the "Budivelnyk".

Tomorrow is the second match between Prometey and Kyiv-Basket this season. In the first round, our team convincingly beat the opponent - 90:67. However, as before the second match with "Budivelnyk", it is hardly worth to mention the result of the October confrontation. This is exactly what Prometey head coach Ronen Ginzburg thinks:

"Kyiv-Basket is a great team that has seriously improved since our first match in the championship. Our opponent has played great against Italian "Regana" in the FIBA European Cup, and the game it will not be easy for us."

The match between Kyiv-Basket and Regana took place within the framework of the second stage of the FIBA European Cup, where Ainars Bagatskis' team made its way after a successful performance in the first one, but turned out to be super-dramatic. The second representative of Ukraine in the Euro arena this season secured a gap of "+7" one and a half minutes before the end of regular time, but the guests managed to equalize the score and turned the game into overtime. In overtime, "Regana" gained a significant advantage of 6 points, but Kiev leveled the situation on the court and took the lead. Everything was decided in the last minutes - at "+1" Kyiv-Basket did not complete their attack, and allowed the guests to score 2 points almost with a final siren - 80:79 in favor of the Italians.

Probably, the match against the Italian club took away from Prometey's closest rival a huge reserve of strength, not only physical but also emotional. This affected the fact that yesterday the team of Ainars Bagatskis had a worse end in the away match against Zaporizhzhia than their opponent. As a result -their sixth defeat in the championship. This point is taken into account and Ronen Ginzburg:

Now "Kyiv-Basket", due to their tight games schedule, is in a similar situation to ours. Maybe it is even a little more difficult for them than for us, because the games with "Regjana" and "Zaporizhzhya" went one by one in a row. However, "Kyiv-Basket" has a great coaching staff, whose main task before the match with us is to relieve the players of psychological fatigue. "

Nevertheless, even taking into account the factor of fatigue, "Kyiv-Basket" is one of the most serious rivals of "Prometey" in the long distance of the championship, and probably determined to become the first team in the Superleague to defeat "Prometey" in this championship. In turn, "Prometey" is very motivated to increase the number of their victories in the championship to 20. Considering everything said, it is going to be exciting confrontation between the teams, which can be followed by broadcast on "Obozrevatel" and the official website of the Basketball Federation of Ukraine from 16:00.
