Gran Canaria vs Bourg: Analysis and Prediction – Gran Canaria will play at home against Bourg in the EuroCup Week 4.
Gran Canaria vs Bourg Odds
Gran Canaria Team News
Gran Canaria’s decision not to participate in the EuroLeague due to high costs did not demoralize their players and head coach, Jaka Lakovic. They have entered the new campaign with three consecutive wins, having defeated Aris, Ulm, and Trento in the first three rounds of the EuroCup.
The team’s playing style hasn’t undergone significant changes compared to the previous season. They still aim for a faster tempo while maintaining a focus on defense. Nicolas Brussino is in excellent form, but the team does not rely on a single leader. It was the same in the previous season, with well-distributed roles and different players stepping up each time. Whether it’s Andrew Albicy, A.J. Slaughter or John Shurna, someone is ready to take the lead. Additionally, the return of Sylven Landesberg in Europe after five years in China, adds depth to their roster.
On paper, Gran Canaria would likely be favored against almost any other EuroCup team when playing at home. They possess diverse offensive potential and become a challenging team to play against when their three-point shooting is on point. While they have their ups and downs, opponents like Bourg will find it challenging to exploit their weaker aspects.
Bourg Team News
Bourg is the only other perfect team in this EuroCup group B with a 3-0 record, alongside Gran Canaria. However, their opponents so far have been Slask Wroclaw, Trento and Cluj-Napoca, objectively three of the weakest teams in the group.
Bourg’s entire offensive production revolves around three players: Bryce Brown, Isiaha Mike and Jeremy Morgan. They take the most shots, and when at least two of them are in a good shooting rhythm, Bourg can pose significant problems to their opponents. This has been demonstrated during the current season as they’ve been able to score over 80 points, and their defense can also step up when needed. Their ambition might not be to go all the way in the EuroCup, but while they’re doing well, why stop?
For any chance in the Canary Islands, Bourg must play their best game of the season. Offensively, they might be able to keep up with Gran Canaria for certain periods, but their defense also needs to perform above its regular level. They’ll also need a bit of luck when it comes to the opponent’s open shots.

Gran Canaria vs Bourg Prediction
Bourg left a positive impression so far this season, but Gran Canaria is simply on a higher level. If this game were played in France, “Los Canarios” would still be the favorites. Playing at home, they are the absolute favorites. They’ve won all three EuroCup games with a double-digit margin so far, and there’s no reason not to continue in that rhythm.
