The home team, which could give a debut to exciting new signing Rob Gray, the 2021 EuroCup Finals MVP, also boosted its confidence last week, riding 19 points from Tai Odiase to grab an impressive victory over Hapoel. Reyer's on-form man is Barry Brown, who scored 21 and 24 points in his team's last two victories over Cedevita and Wolves, netting 3 triples on both occasions.
Ronen Ginzburg, Prometey head coach
"A good team from the Italian League. They lost this weekend, but they are the top of the Italian standings. It will be a tough game. They have quality players, the guards especially, so we need to be tough, but we can do it."
Neven Spahija, Venice head coach
"It’s going to be a very difficult game, especially because our conditions. Anyway whoever is with us will give the best to fight and help the team. They are good, lately they are playing good basketball and have some now players inside their roster. We are going to prepare the game to play our basketball in the best possible way."
Vyacheslav Bobrov, Prometey player
"We started preparing this game against Venice. We know they are a good team with high tempo. We will try to play the same as we played against them last year. We need to stop all their guards: Spissu, Tucker, Brooks... they are strong and aggressive. They are in a similar situation to ours, but they are a bit better because it looks they found the way to play. We are working on ourselves so we can find our way and play better and better every game. We are trying to share the ball, get open shots and control rebounds. Like we showed against Hapoel, everybody can beat everybody, so we have to focus on that and believe."
Davide Casarin, Venice player
"It’s going to be a tough game in a tough arena. Prometey is a good team and we need to stay together for the whole game. We want to bounce back from Milano game and make a step forward."
