Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Monaco vs UNICS

Monaco

The current holder of the title of champion of the Eurocup has not settled down very well in the Euroleague. At the moment, Monaco is in 11th place here, with 12 wins after 25 matches. Fener, which is eighth in the table (playoff zone), has the same number of positive results, but the Turks have meetings in hand. The Monegasques remain in the fight to get into the knockout games, but their chances here are not obvious, especially after they stumbled in the final battle of the competition with Zalgiris, who are the hopeless underdog of the Euroleague and occupy the last place in the final standings. Note that Monaco has a rather difficult schedule for the end of the Euroleague regular season.

In the LNB, the club is now third (12/7), but things are not going well there either (three defeats in five last battles). Recently, the team made it to the quarterfinals of the French Cup.

UNICS

With a balance of 13/11, the Russians are still seventh in the overall standings of the Euroleague. On the one hand, the result is worthy for a team with a relatively modest budget, which redrawn its line-up in the summer and changed its mentor in the same period. On the other hand, Kazan got only one positive result in the tournament in the last five matches. They are close to being knocked out of the playoffs. We urgently need to start doing self-rescue.

In the VTB United League, UNICS takes first place (13/2), going on a series of five victories in a row. Hezonja, Brown III and Kanaan have been putting on some crazy basketball this season. It is these guys who should now cheer up teammates and lead them forward to meet new achievements.

History of the confrontation

The clubs have already crossed paths in the Euroleague 2021/22. That meeting took place on October 8 last year in Russia. The Monegasques achieved a positive result in it on the road with a score of 88:80. The match stretched to extra time after 74:74 in the main. Earlier in September 2021, Kazan broke Monaco in a test match away - 85:84. Prior to that, the Russian team lost four times in a row in pairs. Total at the moment in the rivalry of clubs 5:1 on positive results in favor of the Monegasques. The first battle of the teams in history took place in January 2020.

Game Totals Prediction

Kazan players look cheerfully in the Euroleague, but now they have lost a little. Monegasques just have a hard time in the tournament. In the face-to-face battle, the teams are expected to struggle. The hosts will be driven by self-confidence, given their dominance in pairs over UNICS, and on the side of the guests – the class and enthusiasm of their leaders. The Russians will go home with a victory, having gained the upper hand in an assist shootout, but they will not be able to take a full revenge for the first round of the competition.
