Astana (Astana) vs Zenit (St. Petersburg)
Time: 15:00 (13:00 Moscow time)
Place: Kazakhstan, Astana, Jekpe-Jek
Broadcast: TV Start, League website
Astana: The team pleased the fans winning the final quarter with a score of 24:9 against Enisey. This could help the Kazakh team regain confidence before facing a tough opponent. The coaching staff will once again be able to use Markell Johnson, who scored 31 points last game and retained his status as the League’s best scoring player. In addition, Astana will have the support of the home crowd.
Zenit: The St. Petersburg team won the game in Yekaterinburg (78:72), so Zenit goes to Astana with good mood. The team has secured 3rd place in the standings, and case of win can continue the pursuit for CSKA and Loko. Xavier Pascual has plenty of tools to use to get win over the Kazakh team: Zenit confidently outperforms its opponent in team stats. And Georgy Zhbanov and Xavier Moon in the rotation should help defend Markell Johnson.
