Krasnoyarsk, Moscow and Saratov will host 3 regular season games on Sunday.
Enisey (Krasnoyarsk Region) vs Lokomotiv Kuban (Krasnodar)
Time: 17:00 (13:00 Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Krasnoyarsk, Arena Sever
Broadcast: VK Video, VTB League website
Enisey: The hosts secured their first win of the new year this week. However, over the past month and a half, Enisey has only beaten Samara. The Siberian team hopes to add to that list. Loko is in the process of rebuilding and does not look like an invincible opponent. So with the support of the fans, Jovica Arsic team will do best to take revenge for their loss in Krasnodar.
Lokomotiv Kuban: This game should be the debut for Loko new head coach. Tomislav Tomovic has already started working with the team and watched team’s win over Uralmash. A few days are not enough to significantly transform the game. But we will get our first impressions of the new coach in this game.
MBA-MAI (Moscow) vs BETCITY PARMA (Perm Region)
Time: 14:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Moscow, Basket Hall Moscow
Broadcast: VK Video, VTB League website
MBA-MAI: The future rivals have been the main discovery of the current season. They will face each other for the second time. In the first game in Perm, the hosts took the win. Now MBA-MAI will have an excellent chance to take revenge. BETCITY PARMA is not as strong on the road as it is at home. Vasily Karasev team is used to its home court and has won 3 of its last 4 home games.
BETCITY PARMA: The Perm team continues to fight for 3rd place with Loko and Zenit. For Evgeny Pashutin team, this will be the first road game after home games series. BETCITY PARMA has not been particularly impressive on the road this season, with 3 wins in 8 games. This clash will be a good opportunity to improve the record.
Avtodor (Saratov) vs. Zenit (St. Petersburg)
Time: 16:00 (15:00 Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Saratov, DS Kristall
Broadcast: VK Video, VTB League website
Avtodor: The New Year’s break did not have the best effect on Avtodor. In the new calendar year, the Volga team has been unable to find its offense. In the last 2 games, Avtodor has failed to score more than 50 points. The Saratov team has already shown both character and skill this season. Milenko Bogicevic team will need these qualities against the League’s top team.
Zenit: The St. Petersburg team has not been consistent this season. However, the class of players still allows the team to compete for the highest places. Aleksander Sekulic team is currently trying to secure 3rd place in the standings. To do so, the guests need to win this game. After the brilliant win in Perm, the team is in good mood and will try to repeat result in Saratov.
