Prometey vs Paris: Analysis and Prediction – Prometey will host Paris in Riga in the EuroCup round five game.
Prometey vs Paris Odds
Prometey Team News
Prometey hasn’t started the new season in a dominant way as might have been expected after their excellent campaign last year. They have only won two out of four games, with the most unexpected being their loss to the London Lions two weeks ago (87:99).
The results from October raise the question of whether last season’s Prometey played much better than their actual quality or if they are not at the required level now. We will get the answer without any doubt during November. Marcus Keene has mostly played well in almost all games, while Ronald March is still trying to find his optimal form. Perhaps the biggest problem is that Caleb Agada is not playing anywhere near his performance before his injury in March. He was supposed to be the leader of this team, but he’s struggling to make any impact. Ondrej Balvin is responsible for controlling the paint, and for the most part, he’s doing his part.
Considering that Paris might be the top candidate to win the EuroCup, this is an excellent test for Prometey. A win here would put them back on track and remove doubts about whether they belong to the top echelon of this competition or if teams like Paris and the London Lions are far ahead of them.
Paris Team News
Paris is perfect (4-0) after four games in the EuroCup. Last week, they played a real thriller against the Lions in London. The match went into double overtime, and the team from the French capital celebrated a 102:106 win, even though they were without T.J. Shorts in crucial moments due to five personal fouls.
When looking at Paris’s form in October, it’s clear that they have continued where Bonn left off. For those who are not familiar, Paris brought in the former Bonn head coach Tuomas Iisalo and six best players who led that club to the FIBA Champions League title. They had some impressive games in the LNB Pro A as well. Besides the well-known faces from Bonn, a new addition to this group is Algerian Nadir Hifi. After Shorts, the ball is mostly in his hands, and some of his moves decided the clash with the Lions last week.
If Paris defeats Prometey, they will take a significant step towards securing the top spot. Every game is crucial this season, as every position in the group holds significant value. Paris players and coach Iisalo have more experience than Prometey, but this will be a quality challenge for them as well.

Prometey vs Paris Prediction
Paris is playing very well, although they’ve shown in a couple of domestic league games that they won’t win every time like Bonn did in previous seasons. Prometey is growing from game to game, and this is an extremely important game for them if they want to stay in the race for the top 2, which is their primary goal. They will need to make defensive adjustments compared to some previous matches, but there’s no doubt they have the quality to do so.
