Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Enisey vs Zenit

Enisey

The Krasnoyarsk team made it to the Winners' Stage, taking fifth place in the main championship. Then they became a little confused and fell back to sixth place in the table. It's sad, but there's still some catching up to do.

In their last match in the Winners' Stage, Enisey defeated CSKA itself away and broke a long series of failures. In the battle against the Muscovites, the following did a great job on the floor: Jeremiah Martin (28 points, four rebounds, three assists and 27 efficiency points on the court), Xavier Rathen-Mays (21 points in the opponent’s basket), Mikel Hopkins (11 points in attack and as many same rebounds) and Bo Beach (three points and ten collected goals on the board). Let us also remind you that after this victory, the above-mentioned Jeremiah Martin was included in the new team of the week of the competition.

This was a historic match, since Yenisei had never previously defeated the capital’s “army team” on the road in its history. Now the Krasnoyarsk team is in high spirits and we can expect great basketball from them against the St. Petersburg team.

Zenit

The guys from St. Petersburg finished the regular season this season in fourth place. The result is not phenomenal, but it can be safely called normal. Then the St. Petersburg team managed to reach third position in the Winners' Stage. Cool, but let us remind you that Kuban Loko is now behind Zenit only according to additional criteria.

In their last match in the championship, the “blue-white-sky blues” defeated CSKA itself on the road with a score of 92:91, which is now listed above in the final score sheet. It was very cool, but there was something to complain about in this meeting. For example, the army team won back a 21-point deficit in this confrontation. In that match, the St. Petersburg gang showed themselves very well: Vince Hunter (24 points in attack), Kyle Kuric (17 points in attack) and Sergey Karasev (15 points and five rebounds).
