St. Petersburg will host the regular season game on Friday.
Zenit (Saint Petersburg) – Enisey (Krasnoyarsk)
Time: 19:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Saint Petersburg, Sibur Arena
Broadcast: League Website
Enisey: In the previous round, the Krasnoyarsk team beat Samara and ended a 3-game losing streak. After that, Enisey had a week to prepare for Zenit, one of the most difficult opponents in the League. In the previous game versus the St. Petersburg team, the Siberian team was able to play equally in the first quarter, and then seriously decreased. Enisey problem was the shot percentage – Drazen Anzulovic team did not lose the ball a lot, but could not score. By the way, Zenit is the only team in the League that the Krasnoyarsk team cannot beat. And on Friday, Enisey has an opportunity to fix this, even with the St. Petersburg team roster problems.
Zenit: The reigning champion cannot boast of an empty infirmary. On Sunday, Zenit played in Saratov without the ill head coach Xavi Pascual, without bigmen Richard Solomon and Trey Tompkins – and in the end was defeated. Losing to opponents from the bottom of the standings twice in a row is an unacceptable for Zenit, so the motivation to not to lose to Enisey will be important. The defense of the team is still good – Zenit let opponents score only 69.8 points.
