In the match of the second stage of the VTB United League regular season in Group B, Yenisei will host Astana from Kazakhstan on its site in Krasnoyarsk.
"Yenisei"Drazen Anzulovich's team in their last match, which was on March 12, showed once again good basketball, but still "Yenisei" interrupted a series of four consecutive victories.
In Perm, the Krasnoyarsk club could have counted on a victory, but in the end lost with a difference of one point due to a weak final quarter, the meeting against Parma ended with a score 78:79 (25:19; 20:21; 20:21; 13:18). In this meeting, the American forward James Thompson played particularly actively in the Yenisei team, he scored 20 points, made seven rebounds and made two interceptions.
"Astana"Oleg Kiselyov's team, in turn, is not in the worst shape right now, but because of the not very high class, Astana has already lost five matches in a row.
In their last meeting, which was on March 16, Astana lost to Avtodor in Saratov, the meeting ended with a score 70:79 (11:23; 18:20; 27:18; 14:18). The American defender Markell Johnson played especially brightly in the Astana team, he scored 26 points, made eight rebounds and completed four assists.
Astana and Yenisei last played against each other on January 28 as part of the second stage of the VTB United League regular season. Then "Yenisei" in Kazakhstan turned out to be much stronger with the score 83:67 (26:18; 21:20; 21:16; 15:13).
ForecastIn this match, "Yenisei" on its site is considered by bookmakers to be the undisputed favorite, which is quite expected.
The Krasnoyarsk club is quite capable of showing a fairly effective match, and therefore we suggest that you put more than 150.5 points on the total.
