Moscow will host regular season game on Monday.
Runa (Moscow) vs Astana (Astana)
Time: 20:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Moscow, DS Dynamo
Broadcast: Match! Igra, League website
Runa: After the All-Star Game break, Runa has not become better. The Vikings’ last win dates back to February 13, after which Erturul Erdogan team got 3 straight losses. Any loss now can finally deprive the League newcomer of any chance to advance to the next stage. The same goes for Runa opponents, so the upcoming rivalry promises to be tight, much like the game between these teams in late November, when the Moscow team pulled off one of the biggest comebacks of the season with a win in overtime.
Astana: Astana only lost by 20-point average since February 1. Interestingly, this losing streak started with a loss to Runa. At the second stage of the regular season only MINSK, which was defeated by Astana, has worse results. Neither Oleg Kiselev nor Fotis Takianos can reboot Astana offense: in the last 10 games, the Kazakh team has only once scored more than 80 points.The crisis has hit both Runa and Astana, but the Kazakh team crisis is still worse.
