Preview: Euroleague Women Showdown Features Stark Contrast in Praha

PRAGUA, Czech Republic (Interstat) — A matchup of historic proportions, at least statistically, is set for Sunday when winless Basket Ostrava visits powerhouse USK Praha in a Euroleague Women contest.

The game presents the starkest possible contrast in the league. USK Praha (21-4) sits among the elite, having won its last five games by an average margin of 48.2 points in domestic play. Its most recent outing was a 71-64 road victory over Galatasaray in Euroleague action on Thursday.

Basket Ostrava (0-14) remains in search of its first victory. Its most competitive effort came last Sunday in a 70-63 home loss to Brandys nad Labem, one of only two games this season decided by single digits. The team’s average margin of defeat is 32.6 points.

The season’s first meeting between these teams on Nov. 2, 2025, was a 109-51 rout in favor of Praha.

A key player to watch for the hosts is French forward Janelle Salaun, who has been in dominant form. She averaged 18.2 points and 6.0 rebounds over her last five games, including a 16-point, 5-rebound performance against Galatasaray.

For Ostrava, guard Anna Jedlickova will be central to any hope of an upset. She is coming off a 14-point, 4-rebound effort in the close loss to Brandys and had an 11-rebound game earlier this month.

According to Interstat’s ELO system, USK Praha holds a 99.90 percent probability to win. The game tips off Sunday in the Czech capital.
