Krasnoyarsk and Krasnodar will host 2 regular season games on Saturday.
Enisey (Krasnoyarsk Region) vs UNICS (Kazan)
Time: 16:00 (12:00 Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Krasnoyarsk, Arena Sever
Broadcast: Match! Igra, VK Video, VTB League website
Enisey: The Siberian team has already secured the spot in the playoffs and know the opponent. But the team has no intention of giving up at games. The latest game clearly demonstrates this. This week, the Krasnoyarsk team won a crucial matchup against MBA-MAI. So in the upcoming game, Enisey will try to play the best basketball to defeat the league’s second-place team.
UNICS: The guests have secured second place in the regular season. Now it is important to get into good shape for the playoffs. An injury epidemic is currently preventing UNICS from playing with its optimal roster. In Krasnoyarsk, the Volga team will be pursuing several goals at once. In addition to fighting for the win, the Kazan team coaching staff will likely try out rotation and actively involve the newcomers—Xavier Manford and Elijah Stewart.
Lokomotiv Kuban (Krasnodar) vs BETCITY PARMA (Perm Region)
Time: 15:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Krasnodar, Basket-Hall
Broadcast: Match! Igra, VK Video, VTB League website
Lokomotiv Kuban: This game will effectively serve as rehearsal for the first round of the playoffs, where the teams will battle for a spot in the semifinals. This season, PARMA has proven to be a tough opponent for all the favorites. But Loko has generally managed to play well against the Ural team. The Krasnodar team has won 2 of 3 head-to-heads.
BETCITY PARMA: The Perm team will be the first to finish the regular season. BETCITY PARMA will do so in Krasnodar, where will return in 9 days to compete in the playoffs. For Evgeny Pashutin’s team, the emotional factor has been one of the key this season. And a win over Loko would be a huge boost ahead of the upcoming quarterfinal against Loko.
