Ulm vs Slask Wroclaw: Analysis and Prediction – Ulm will play at home against Slask Wroclaw in the EuroCup fifth round.
Ulm vs Slask Wroclaw Odds
Ulm Team News
Ulm surprised all basketball enthusiasts four months ago when they won the Bundesliga. Absolutely no one imagined they were capable of such an achievement, but they eliminated Alba Berlin, Bayern and Bonn in the playoffs, despite not having home-court advantage.
Although Ulm lost their two key players (Yago dos Santos and Bruno Caboclo) during the summer, head coach Anton Gavel found suitable replacements. Trevion Williams has the potential to be even better than Caboclo based on what we’ve seen so far, while Georginho de Paula, another Brazilian, is already expected to sign a much larger contract, possibly even in the EuroLeague, after Ulm. Mathias Dakota has brought an additional dimension to Ulm’s offense with his three-point shooting, and LJ Figueroa has also had some impressive performances.
This game against Slask shouldn’t pose any difficulties for Ulm. Youngster Juan Nunez missed a few games due to injury, and this will be an ideal opportunity for coach Gavel to give him plenty of minutes on the court to build the confidence he seems to lack at the start of the new season.
Slask Wroclaw Team News
Slask Wroclaw is the only team with four losses in Group B after four EuroCup rounds. Their only chance was in the second round when they played at home against Cluj/Napoce, but the final score was 67:70.
The fact that Slask Wroclaw is at the bottom comes as no surprise. They might have the cheapest and weakest roster in the entire competition, and they can’t even win games in Poland. In their domestic league, they have a 2-4 record, which says it all about their place in the EuroCup. Dusan Miletic and veteran Artsiom Parakhouski play the most crucial roles in the team, along with Hassan Gravett and Saulius Kulvietis.
There might be a chance for Slask to win once or twice in this group, but visiting Ulm is not a place where they can hope for that. They are weaker in all positions, and even Ulm’s bench players are much more quality options than Slask’s starters.

Ulm vs Slask Wroclaw H2H
This will be the first time that Ulm and Slask Wroclaw play against each other.
Absences and Injuries
Robin Christen has been sidelined for some time and will not be in Ulm’s lineup for this game. Juwan Evans is questionable for Slask after missing several recent games, and it’s uncertain whether Joe Bryant will be ready to contribute.
Ulm vs Slask Wroclaw Prediction
Even if both Evans and Bryant are in Slask’s roster for this game, their chances of posing any threat to Ulm will be minimal. Without these two players, Slask might lose this game by more than 25 points. With them, it might not be such a high margin, but Ulm should still cover the handicap without much drama.
