Moscow, Yekaterinburg and Perm will host 3 regular season games on Sunday.
Lokomotiv Kuban (Krasnodar) vs CSKA (Moscow)
Time: 13:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Krasnodar, Basket Hall
Broadcast: Match TV, VK Video, VTB League website
Lokomotiv Kuban: The last game between these teams turned into a real drama. The Krasnodar team lost with 0.6 seconds before the end of regulation. Now the hosts are determined to take revenge. Especially since Alain Hadzibegovic joined Loko ahead of this game. Athletic center should fit perfectly into Krasnodar team play style.
CSKA: The Moscow team was close to losing to MBA-MAI this week. But still managed to retain the lead in the standings. Another difficult test awaits CSKA in Krasnodar. Loko is traditionally a tough opponent for the Moscow team. So the guests will have to show their best to achieve win.
Uralmash (Yekaterinburg) vs MBA-MAI (Moscow)
Time: 17:00 (15:00 Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Yekaterinburg, GAUSO DIVS
Broadcast: VK Video, VTB League website
Uralmash: The battle for a place in the top six is no less intense than the battle for the season lead. And this game will be important for both teams. Enisey has already secured 7th place before the upcoming break, the winner of this clash will become sixth, and the loser will drop to 8th place. The ambitious Uralmash hopes to leave its competitors behind. With the arrival of Anton Yudin, Uralmash has noticeably improved both in results and quality. So the hosts will do their best to please fans again.
MBA-MAI: The Moscow team got disappointing loss versus CSKA this week. But that game showed the strength of MBA-MAI. Despite current 3-game losing streak, Vasily Karasev team remains a dangerous opponent for anyone. In Yekaterinburg, aggressive defense and Pavel Savkov’s sharpshooting talent could be the factors that bring the guests win.
BETCITY PARMA (Perm Region) vs Zenit (St. Petersburg)
Time: 18:00 (16:00 Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Perm, UDS Molot
Broadcast: Match! Igra, VK Video, VTB League website
BETCITY PARMA: Losses to UNICS and Loko have weakened BETCITY PARMA position. But the hosts still have a chance to finish in the top three. To do so, the hosts need to win this game. The Perm team team will have additional motivation. Zenit remains the only team that Perm team has not defeated this season yet.
Zenit: The guests are gradually finding the shape and reaching peak. This is evidenced by 5-game winning streak. Zenit began Ural trip in Yekaterinburg, where beat Uralmash. Now it’s Perm’s turn. This season, the St. Petersburg team has already won at UDS Molot, and now is going there to repeat it.
