Nizhny Novgorod will host regular season game on Friday.
Pari Nizhny Novgorod (Nizhny Novgorod) vs Zenit (Saint Petersburg)
Time: 19:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Nizhny Novgorod, KRK Nagorny
Broadcast: VK Video, VTB League website
Pari Nizhny Novgorod: The team has one of the most difficult schedules at the start of the season – Top 4 teams and the main discoveries of the season – BETCITY PARMA and MBA-MAI. The Volga team will have to break 3-game losing streak in a game against another top club. To achieve this, Pari NN need to make adjustments in offense (third worst in points scored – 73.5 per game) and improve discipline (worst in the League in turnovers – 17.8, and fouls – 25.3).
Zenit: The St. Petersburg team responded to the disappointing loss to CSKA with wins over Samara and Uralmash. The team was not upset by ongoing personnel difficulties – Nenad Dimitrijevic and Andre Roberson did not play in the last game. In this situation, the Russian players stepped up: Georgy Zhbanov, Vladislav Emchenko, and Andrei Martiuk became the driving force of the team. In Nizhny Novgorod, Zenit will try to consolidate its position in the top 5 with a positive balance in the standings.
