Uralmash (Yekaterinburg) vs BETCITY PARMA (Perm)
Time: 19:30 (17:30 Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Yekaterinburg, DIVS
Broadcast: VK Video, VTB League website
Uralmash: Since the season resumed, the team has won 3 road games. Uralmash defeated Samara, Avtodor and Pari Nizhny Novgorod. This series allowed Anton Yudin team to climb to 6th place (15-17) and close in on 5th-place PARMA (17-15). The Yekaterinburg club has already beaten its neighbors twice in the regular season (2-1), with both games ended in overtime. A final win in the season series would bring Uralmash as close as possible to Perm team and intensify the battle for 5th place, which would allow to avoid facing one of the top three teams in the first round of the Playoffs.
BETCITY PARMA: The Perm team has a record of 1-5 in its last 6 games. After Uralmash, BETCITY PARMA will face UNICS and CSKA. On March 31, the team will play Mega for a spot in the Final Four of the in-season Cup. For Evgeny Pashutin’s team, the most crucial part of the regular season is coming up right now. The Ural Derby will show whether PARMA has managed to overcome its crisis.
