Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on UNICS vs CSKA

UNICS

The current VTB League champion started the new season quite well. The Kazan team is approaching the match with CSKA with a balance of 8/2 (second position). They have a fight in hand against the Army team. If you win it, plus break CSKA, then the Kazan team will rise to first place.

Kazan players play very attacking basketball. In the upcoming match, they will not give up their favorite style, performing at home, where they have their rings shot. We are waiting for a productive match, since there is a high probability that the guests will accept this challenge, because their class allows them to do this even away.

In their last match, the Kazan team beat Yenisei, which is currently in fourth place. In that battle, UNICS stood out: Marcos Knight (21 points), Nenad Dimitrievich (19 points in the opponent’s basket, eight rebounds, plus seven assists), as well as Eric Green, who scored 18 points for the opponent. Now the team plays with the tournament leader. You won’t envy the Kazan team’s schedule, but the “greens” aren’t complaining.

CSKA

Last season was terrible for the team. She only took bronze medals in the VTB United League. For a club the size of CSKA, this is almost a failure. In the new year, the army team wants to be first. Their zeal is noticeable to the naked eye.

Now the team leads the final protocol of the VTB United League, having ten victories after 11 meetings. The only defeat of the Muscovites so far happened in the confrontation with Loko (88:91). The ending of the match was hot, but the army team was a little unlucky.

Nothing bad has happened yet. It is possible that this is even useful for Muscovites. They were lowered from heaven to earth. CSKA got a little arrogant and got hit on the nose. Now the team must come to its senses, continuing to crush their opponents.

After a misfire with the “railroad” team, the “red-blues” won the capital’s derby against “Runa” with a score of 80:74. After this match, Amat M'Bai was included in the symbolic top five of the tour. The guy was simply unstoppable in the battle against the Vikings. He had 24 points, six rebounds and a pair of assists.
