Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on UNICS vs Avtodor

UNICS

Kazan has six victories in six matches of the VTB United League. This is already a repeat of their starting record and there is a good prospect of setting a new one. Now the club is in second place in the table, lagging behind CSKA only on points difference.

UNICS players are on their toes. They move and interact well. In the last round, Dimitrievich managed to set a new record for the current league draw in terms of the number of effective passes per match. The Macedonian made 12 assists, scored eight points and took two balls on the backboard. Reynolds entered the symbolic team of the last tour. The center in the last game against the MBA was good both under the basket and on the arc. As a result, the basketball player scored 30 points (the first player of the season to reach this bar in attack), made three rebounds and made five interceptions. It is worth saying that there are many such heroes in the team. The Kazan team is capable of aiming for big goals this season.

Avtodor

Saratov is having a hard time. They are now somehow clinging to eighth place, having only two wins in their assets after six meetings in the VTB United League 2022/23. Avtodor beat only Astana and Tsmoki-Minsk in the season, which are now on the last two lines in the final protocol of the competition. Nothing to be proud of here. The team has a negative point difference in the championship and an extremely unreliable line of defense.

The trip to Kazan will be a real test for Avtodor, as the opponent is in a very good shape. In general, it should be noted that Saratov has a difficult calendar at the start. In their lost matches they competed with: Zenit, CSKA, Nizhny Novgorod and PARMA. These clubs are currently in the TOP-6 of the tournament.

History of the confrontation

In the last VTB United League, UNICS beat Avtodor twice. At first he was stronger at home with a score of 97:59, and then he got a positive result on the road - 88:79. Previously, the club won two more times in a pair. Avtodor outplayed Kazan for the last time in October 2021, and before that there was another successful series of UNICS, which consisted of 11 matches against Saratov without defeat. It started in autumn 2015.
