Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on UNICS vs Lokomotiv-Kuban

UNICS

Kazan is not perfect in the series, but their opponent allows even more mistakes in the game. The team cannot but take advantage of such moments and right now it is one step away from its cherished goal. In the last meeting with the "railroad" Labery was very good. He did not become the most productive in that battle, but all his actions were most useful. Louis deserves the title of one of the main creators of that win.

Basketball players of "Loko" faltered, it is necessary to work as professionally as possible on their territory and the championship will be won. UNICS should remove the opponent on experience. As it turned out in the series, the team has a noticeable advantage in this component over the opponent.

Lokomotiv-Kuban

The team is in order with the class, but there are questions about experience. Loko managed to reach the final, knocking out the star CSKA in the 1/2, but in the current rivalry with UNICS, everything is given to the railroad with a creak.

For example, in the last game, Lokomotiv made a powerful comeback, winning back 21 points. At the end of the match, he managed to catch on to overtime, and then he faltered again. Similar situations have happened before. In the last three matches of the series, Krasnodar has a real problem with the implementation. Let somehow this moment can be explained in away battles, but not at home.

Plus, there is a feeling that in the coaching rivalry, Alexander Sekulich from Loko is inferior to his counterpart from UNICS. Velimir Perasović makes important and necessary decisions at the right moments.

In principle, everything can be explained somehow. Kazan is a club of the Euroleague level and it has already been in the final of the VTB United League. The locomotive is writing its history right now. For him, everything that happens is already a sensation and an achievement. Hence the jitters that interfere with basketball players. I must also say about Akuna-Purcell. He is an important player of the team, but in the last match he spent little time on the floor. Nothing is officially reported, but it is possible that he has some kind of damage.
