Gran Canaria Team News 

What has been clear to everyone for the past few seasons is that no one played basketball against Granka on the Canary Islands, and hardly anyone scored any points. This was best felt by Barcelona, who were defeated in the Canary Islands. Even in the Eurocup, no one has beaten Granka on their home floor, so it will be very difficult for the Podgorica team as well. However, Buducnost is the best away team in the Eurocup this season, they have won all three away games, and one of these two teams will have their streak broken.

As in previous seasons, Gran Canaria is composed of experienced and proven players, led from the bench by Slovenian expert Jaka Lakovič. It is certainly one of the most experienced squads in the Eurocup, designed to win the competition. They are powered by A.J. Slaughter, who played a fantastic European Championship for Poland. There is also the Frenchman Albicy, and Ingis, who is the main defensive engine under the basket alongside the young Balcerowski. The team includes experienced names like Brussino, Benite, Bassas, and Shurna.

At the weekend, they were defeated by Baskonia at home, with a score of 68:96, which is quite a surprise, especially given the way and the margin by which they lost. Benite was the best with 11 points. In the last match within the EuroCup, they celebrated a victory away at Turk Telekom, with a score of 81:88. The most deserving of the victory, and the interruption of the great series of victories of the Turks was again the experienced Victor Benite with 21 points.

Buducnost Team News 

Buducnost underwent a complete overhaul during the summer, as the results show. The people from Podgorica are not yet in shape, and they also had problems with injuries.

Vlada Jovanovic arrived on the bench of Budućnost, who opted for a combination of young and experienced players.

This season, Buducnost decided on a different concept, without sonorous names. The excellent young BIH center Kenan Kamenjas arrived from the SC Derby. In addition to Kamenjas, last year’s MVP of the Turkish League, Alpha Kaba, arrived in Moraca, while Aaron White arrived from Zvezda. Bell-Haynes, Booth, and perhaps the most famous name Cameron Reynolds arrived at the back positions. Jovanovic has two “specialists” in his team, Atic, and Lazic, who can cover defensively from 1-4. The future is on the market and they are looking for a high player.

However, Buducnost has not inspired confidence with its games lately, even though the results are not that bad. Victories were recorded in both competitions, but they failed every difficult test, except for the victory in Tel Aviv against Hapoel, where they won thanks to the great shooting clinic of Cam Reynolds, who hit 5 three-pointers from 5 attempts in the half. But the defeat by almost 30 points against Partizan showed all the shortcomings of Buducnost this season. As soon as the team speeds up and responds more energetically, the future is in trouble. Over the weekend, they defeated the Student Center with a score of 88:76. Cam Reynolds was the most effective with 21 points, while in the EuroCup, they defeated Trento with 73:58. The best in the match was Jagodić-Kuridza with 20 points.

Gran Canaria vs. Buducnost Prediction 

In this match, we definitely expect a reaction from the players of Gran Canaria for the heavy defeat in the Spanish championship against Baskonia. It’s been a long time since someone humiliated Granka in the Canary Islands like this. We believe that they will be motivated and that Buducnost will pay that price.
