MINSK (Belarus) – Astana (Kazakhstan)
Time: 15:00 (Moscow time)
Location: Belarus, Minsk, Falcon Club
Broadcast: TV Start, League website
MINSK:The Belarusian team ends the year with a home game. MINSK has never won on at home this season, but it has excellent chances to correct this and make a New Year’s gift to the fans – after all, Astana has never won on the road. The teams are closing the standings, so the game will be doubly crucial. In their previous game – with Avtodor away – the Belarusian team could not count on three leaders: Zach Smith, Darol Hernandez-Zinenko and Uladzislau Bliznyuk. The resul will largely depend on whether this trio will be able to help MINSK in the game with Astana.
Astana: With the win over PARMA-PARI, the Kazakh team has left the last place in the standings and now they can develop the position. Moreover, Astana looks good even without Michael Myers, who received an injury. Daniil Aksenov should be the main offensive option – the Russian guard did not score points on Thursday against UNICS, but he has repeatedly demonstrated his skills. In this game, Astana should try to avoid trunovers and not let the opponents to make fastbreaks. The key to success for Oleg Kiselev team should be defense — especially since MINSK is in last place in performance.
