BC "VEF Riga" - BC "Prometey". February 11. 17:15. Latvian-Estonian basketball league Pafbet. Riga (Latvia). "Arena Riga". Broadcast - "DIVISPORT BASKETBALL" YouTube channel.
For the second week in a row, “Prometey” awaits a confrontation with a team from Latvian-Estonian basketball league Top-3. Tomorrow, on February 11, in the capital of Latvia a kind of Riga derby will be held where “VEF Riga” and our “Prometey” will play. Of course, the best club of Ukraine does not represent Riga, however the main city of this friendly country became a real home for them.
Following the results of the previous game week, the team from Riga sat the second line of the tournament standings after “Kalev/Cramo” lost to “Prometey”. Currently, “VEF Riga” has 19 wins in 23 league matches, which is 82.6% of successful matches. This season, the nearest opponent of “Primetey” made a brilliant victorious streak of 16 games. It started at the beginning of the last year’s November and was interrupted at the end of January by unexpected defeat from Estonian “Viimsi” (65:72).
At the same time, “Prometey” has played one game less than “VEF” with an excellent percentage of wins 95.5. In the first round, “red and white” defeated the best club of Latvia with a score of 81:71. By and large, it was that match, where Ronen Ginzburg’s team experienced decent resistance of their rivals.
The second confrontation of these teames is of great tournament importance. Another successful match of our team in the league will maximize its chances of winning the regular season. In case “VEF Riga” wins, the intrigue atop tournament standings will spin up with incredible force. Our team’s rival has a double motivation as having failed to overcome the first group round barrier of the Champions League, it is currently focused completely on performances in the LEBL.
The fans of “Prometey” and “VEF” (there are a lot of those who sympathizes with both teams) have every right to expect a spectacular show! To follow a course of events in the match “VEF Riga” – “Prometey” watch the live video broadcast on February 11 on YouTube channel “DIVISPORT BASKETBALL” starting at 17:15.
