BC "Rakvere Tarvas" (Estonia) - BC "Prometey". January 4. 19:00. Latvian-Estonian basketball league Pafbet. Rakvere (Estonia). Arena "Sportyhall". Broadcast - "DIVISPORT BASKETBALL" YouTube channel.

Tomorrow, on January 4, the programme of official matches in the Latvian-Estonian league Pafbet 2023 will be opened with the match “Tarvas” – “Prometey”.

This duel unlikely to forecast a significant intrigue in it, as currently the first team of the league and the last one will meet, but as it’s said, it is what it is. The match of the first round, the rivals held in Riga and that time, “Prometey”, without any considerable problems, proved its much higher class, having won with the score 106:50. That time, 5 players of the best Ukrainian team at once reached the mark of productiveness “10+” and Illia Sydorov managed to record to his asset a double-double – 10 points and 11 assists.

During two and a half months that have passed since the first confrontation of the teams, the results of tomorrow’s rivals were completely different. If “Prometey” suffered only one loss in the league, “Rakvere Tarvas”, the other way round, celebrated success only once, when in the mid November Estonians surpassed Latvian “Liepaja” – 96:90. However, after that the team of Vaido Rego lost to their opponents 5 matches in a row.

For sure, this “Tarvas” results cannot add optimism to their fans. Herewith, the nearest opponent of “Prometey” exactly with this match will pass only half of the regular season, so they have enough time to rectify their tournament affairs.

As well as in the first confrontation of “Prometey” and “Tarvas”, Ukrainian legionary Volodymyr Shevchenko is in the leading positions in Estonian club. In the Octber’s confrontation in Riga, Volodymyr scored 19 points, and with the average Indicator of productiveness of 14.85 points per match, this forward is in 12th place in the list of the best LEBL snipers. Slovenian guard Jan Razdevsek is one position higher but among the best league assistants – 5.1 assists per match. Probably, Shevchenko and Razdevsek will try to do their best tomorrow to let “Tarvas” look dignified in the confrontation with “Prometey”. How much Estonian team will succeed in it, we will be able to see tomorrow.
