Opava vs Promitheas: Analysis and Prediction – Opava will play at home against Promitheas in the FIBA Champions League Round six.
Opava vs Promitheas Odds
Opava Team News
Opava is by far the weakest team participating in the FIBA Champions League this season. Not only do they have all five losses, but they’ve been convincingly defeated in every game. Their best performance came in the previous round when they lost to Rytas at home by 75:95.
Despite their struggles in the Champions League, Opava dominates in the domestic league in the Czech Republic. They have the highest chances of winning the title, giving themselves an opportunity to participate in the FIBA Champions League next season. If that happens, they will need to approach the competition much more seriously, as they have struggled in this campaign. Things have improved slightly since Marques Townes signed, as he became the only player capable of scoring over 15 points in a one-on-one situations.
Opava is unlikely to change much in this game. They surely want to bid farewell to the FIBA Champions League in the best way possible, but in their case, any outcome that isn’t a loss by more than 15 points would probably be considered acceptable.
Promitheas Team News
After a strong start in the FIBA Champions League with two wins in as many games, Promitheas has suffered three consecutive losses and is currently at 2-3. Unless Dijon defeats Rytas in Lithuania, Promitheas will enter the play-in from the third position.
In the last two rounds, Promitheas lost to Rytas and Dijon in dramatic finishes. In both games, they had a realistic chance of securing a win but faltered in crucial moments. Against Dijon, they were without their top scorer Hunter Hale, who will be sidelined due to injury for the next two months. Anthony Cowan, who attracted serious interest from EuroLeague team Milano, was also unavailable. Two weeks ago, Jamal Jones made his debut, and he will undoubtedly bring quality to the forward position.
This is a game in which Promitheas, in a relaxed rhythm, can achieve a double-digit win and await the outcome of the game in Vilnius. If, by some miracle, Dijon surprises Rytas, they might finish in the second position. The precondition is clear – they must not stumble in the Czech Republic.

Opava vs Promitheas Prediction
It’s crucial for Promitheas to win this game by at least 12 points to finish in second place in case Dijon upsets Rytas. Considering that Opava looks better with Townes than they did two months ago, they might offer more resistance, as seen last week against Rytas. However, in the end, it’s realistic to expect the guests to triumph by a margin between 15 and 20 points.
