Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Liaetkabellis vs Lokomotiv-Kuban

Liaetkabellis

The club from the fifth largest city in Lithuania is not familiar to all basketball fans. These guys have competed in Eurocups in the 16/17 and 17/18 seasons. Then they temporarily left the tournament (became a member of the Champions League). In the last game year, they were again involved in the European Cup. Liaetkabellis has no significant results yet, but everything is ahead. This is how the owners and the management of the team think.

In the current LKL draw, the team is still in the fifth place in the competition table. Not bad. In the LKL season 2020/21, Liaetkabellis took bronze. What is the plan for the current Eurocup? Probably, the minimum is getting into the TOP-16, and then it will be possible to act according to the circumstances.

Lokomotiv-Kuban

By the standards of the tournament, the team looks powerful. Everyone is anxiously awaiting the return of Alan Williams (he has been healing damage to the patellar ligaments for almost a year), who is the leader and soul of the railroad workers. There was information that he could take to the floor in a match with the Lithuanians, but later the management announced that they would hold the American until October 26, fearing a recurrence of injury. In the VTB United League Krasnodar started from 2 // 2, settling in the middle of the final protocol of the competition.

It seems that Lokomotiv-Kuban in the current season sets goals for itself in the form of a battle for the podium in the national championship and in the trophy in the Eurocup. The desires are great, but the southerners can do everything, you just need to prove yourself 100% and, of course, avoid injuries to important basketball players. In the Eurocup, Loko started with a home victory over Andorra (93:82).

History of the confrontation

In the last season of the Eurocup, the teams crossed twice. These are their only face-to-face battles so far. First, Lokomotiv won on the road with a score of 105: 76 (October 2020). Then the "railroad workers" consolidated their success at home - 94:90 (November of the same year).

Game Totals Prediction

Lithuanians love attacking basketball. Not so long ago Loko got a good lesson from Zenit, who scored over 100 points for him while playing away and won a big victory. Pashutin's wards must draw conclusions from the situation. Playing softly in defense is fraught. The guests of the upcoming match will make allowances for tougher basketball and this will be their key to success. The Russians will return home with a victory, but in any case, the match will be bright, and the score is relatively large. Install the 1xbet app and place a bet on the favorite!
