Bakken Bears Team News
The Bakken Bears are already well into their competitive groove. In the first two games of the Danish championship, this team defeated Horsens and Copenhagen without too much difficulty.
The Bakken Bears dominated the league last season, as they beat Naestved in the playoff final with 4-0. In addition, they also won the Cup, and out of the last 13 seasons, they have lifted the trophy for the best in the country 11 times. However, when you step onto the soil of Europe, things are different. The Danes were last in their group in the FIBA Champions League, with just one win from six games. In the break between the two seasons, the team underwent relatively large changes. The biggest one refers to the departure of Elijah Childs, the team’s second best scorer, who will look for happiness in Ludwigsburg in the coming period. The good thing is that the leading scorer, Ryan Evans, remains. In addition to Childs, Skyler Flatten left the team, and DeAndre Pinckney, Sylvester Pedersen, Malik Parsons, Andreas Holst and Frederick Erichsen joined the club. All mostly young and unproven, except for Pinckney, who is coming off a double-digit season in college.
Placement in the FIBA Champions League itself would be a great success for this team, which is content with dominating the domestic championship, as well as creating new talents in Scandinavian basketball. It can be said that the Bears represent one of the indicators that basketball has gone global, as Denmark begins to push serious players, such as Iffe Lundberg, out of the system.
Peja Team News
Peja also has a competitive game behind it, as they were better than Vellaznimi by 20 points in the domestic league, after losing to Trepca in the Super Cup. It promises a victory over MZT Skopje, as well as a narrow defeat against TFT Skopje, ABA 2 leaguer.
Last season, Peja won the domestic championship, with a victory over Trepca, in the fifth game of the final series. With that, this team ended a 10-year hiatus, when they were the best in the championship last time. The team change almost the entire lineup, and the loudest addition is Justin-Edler Davis, who was the most noticeable in the defeat against Trepca in the Super Cup, with 16 points. Help will be in view of Tervell Beck of the Latvian League, a scorer of 18.5 points on average. This composition was created in a similar way. Half of the team is made up of domestic players, half of Americans and that is the philosophy that guides the club.
Peja usually competes in the domestic league and the Balkan League, but also in the lowest ranks of European international competitions. The team for which the legendary former Partizan basketball player Frederick House once played, despite everything, has a certain quality. In the final of the Balkan League, the eighth team of the Israeli championship, Hapoel Beer Sheva, barely beat this team, 99:95.

The Bakken Bears have more experience playing these types of games. The favored FMP, which was defeated by the Danes, felt this best last season. With this, this team, as well as with the victory over Darussafaka in the FIBA Champions League, proved that it can compete to a certain extent at the higher levels of European basketball. Therefore, we expect the Bakken Bears to win by a margin higher than the handicap offered.
