UNICSVelimir Perasovich's team, after losing to CSKA in the last round, rehabilitated itself and achieved another victory.
On December seventh, UNICS in Krasnoyarsk held far from the easiest match, but still the Kazan club beat the local "Yenisei" with the score 89:79 (16:22; 27:22; 22:18; 24:17). In this meeting, three basketball players showed themselves quite clearly as part of UNICS. American defender Daryl Macon was especially successful in the match, he scored 27 points and completed three assists. American forward Jalen Reynolds scored 20 points, made eight rebounds and completed one assist. Also worth noting is another American forward Vince Hunter, he scored 18 points, made five rebounds and completed one assist.
ZenitBut Javier Pascual's team won seven consecutive victories before an important match against UNICS and is ready to fight for second place in the VTB United League.
In their last match, which was the day before yesterday, Zenit defeated Perm Parma with a score on the home court in St. Petersburg 91:60 (19:19; 30:12; 21:18; 21:11). In this meeting, the French point guard Thomas Ertel played a wonderful match as part of Zenit, he scored a record 27 points for himself in the league, and also made three rebounds and completed six assists. It is also worth noting the American defender Caleb Homsley, he scored 17 points, made seven rebounds and completed four assists.
Zenit and UNICS last played against each other on the second of October. Then, in the VTB United League match in St. Petersburg, the teams showed good basketball, but in the end, UNICS turned out to be a little stronger with the score 82:79 (22:23; 22:20; 23:18; 15:18).
ForecastIn this meeting, UNICS on its site is considered by bookmakers to be a fairly clear favorite.
At the same time, in Kazan, it is probably worth waiting for a rather bright and persistent struggle in the first place, and therefore we suggest that you put more than 159.5 points on the total.
