Samara: Samara gave the fans one of the main sensations of December with beating Loko at home. But since then, several more unfavorable factors have been added. December heroes Hayden Dalton and Aleksandr Gudumak left the team, key backcourt player Anton Kardanakhishvili will miss the game due to injury, and the team’s losing streak has already reached 7 games. Samara will have a tough clash ahead, but the support of the fans will help the hosts put up a fight.
Lokomotiv Kuban: After the loss to PARMA, Andrei Vedischev team rehabilitated with season-high win over Zenit – 117:98. The team’s solid play and good shooting suggest that Loko will go to Samara in optimal shape. The Krasnodar team will be motivated to take revenge for the loss at the end of their previous game. The rivalry will be especially important for Aleksandr Gudumak, who left Samara in December to strengthen Loko front court.
