Uralmash: With Anton Yudin taking over as head coach, the team’s play has been transformed. Uralmash has won 5 of last 7 games, losing only to the league leaders CSKA and UNICS. These successes allowed Uralmash to climb to 6th place. But pursuers are really close. So the team cannot slow down the winning pace.
Zenit: The St. Petersburg team has had a confident run of home games, winning 4 in a row. Now Dejan Radonjic’s team is heading on tour to Ural and Kazan. All these games will be a tough test, including the first game in Yekaterinburg. Zenit has already beaten Uralmash twice this season. However, both clashes were tight and ended in tense finishes.
