Bashkimi Prizren claimed a surprise victory over Trepc'a 84:76 in the Superleague on Friday evening. The result shifts the momentum in the standings, where the home side sits second behind their opponents. Trepc'a had entered the fixture as league leaders with twenty-five wins from twenty-eight matches.
By then the gap at the top was narrowing. Bashkimi Prizren had twenty victories and eight defeats, while Trepc'a carried three losses. The home side had looked comfortable in their recent outings, beating Rahoveci 100:84 and Golden Eagle Ylli 96:60. Trepc'a's form had dipped, with a narrow defeat to Peja 81:87 on September twenty-sixth.
We had given an away win as our forecast, fifty-three percent confidence. The match went another way. Trepc'a could not find their rhythm against a home side that played with purpose and kept their composure when it mattered. The visitors' recent struggles against local opposition seemed to resurface.
The final score reflected a game where Bashkimi Prizren controlled the tempo. They let the game flow in their favour, building pressure through consistent play rather than relying on sporadic bursts. Trepc'a fought back but could not convert enough opportunities to stay within touching distance.
The result leaves Trepc'a as league leaders but raises questions about their consistency. Bashkimi Prizren moves closer to the summit with this victory, proof that the gap between first and second is closing. The Superleague remains open for anyone willing to take the chance.
