Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on UNICS vs Enisey

UNICS

The current VTB League champion is showing good basketball in the new tournament. The Kazan team very appropriately took second place in the regular season of the current championship, winning 20 matches out of 26 possible. Only CSKA is higher. Now UNICS needs to calmly defend its position and confidently step into the playoffs. The Winners Stage requires you to work at your own pace, avoiding risks that could lead to injury. You just need to maintain your level and nothing more.

In the last match of the regular season, UNICS beat CSKA. The hero of that battle among the guys from Tatarstan was Dmitry Kulagin. He entered the symbolic five of the final round of the championship round. The guy scored 27 points in that battle against the Muscovites. This is his personal best in his career. Moreover, 18 of them came from shots from behind the arc. He also grabbed three rebounds. Kulagin showed 33 efficiency points on the floor in that confrontation.

Let us note that the team has plenty of stars whose performance class is undeniable. Plus, it’s important to talk about the peculiarities of the current UNICS, which really likes to score points. It seems that nothing in his tactics will change in the near future.

Enisey

The team this season in the VTB United League is very good. She pleasantly surprises. There was a moment in the regular season when the Krasnoyarsk team even squeezed the favorites in the leader group in the table. Ultimately, Yenisei approached the Winners Stage, taking fifth place in the overall standings, having 16 positive results after 26 matches played.

Xavier Rathen-Mays was named to the new team of the week. During that period, the Yenisei broke Minsk and Zenit. In these battles the Canadian was incomparable. He averaged 23 points per game, along with four rebounds and ten assists to his teammates. His effectiveness was an average of 27.5 points.

Rathen-Mays is really cool. It is difficult to overestimate his contribution to the current successes of the Yenisei. The guy gives himself entirely to the game. If he has a good day, then his opponent is definitely going to face major difficulties. Enisey is the fourth team in the VTB League in terms of offensive performance. The club does not have a very reliable defense, but it tries to cover all its deficiencies in defense with brilliant actions in attack.

History of the confrontation
