Command Analysis

Lokomotiv Kuban

Current form
During the off-season, Lokomotiv-Kuban underwent many changes. Aleksandr Sekulic was sent home and Andrey Vedishchev took his place. So far, the reshuffle on the coaching bridge has not brought much benefit to the team. In the Super Cup, the Krasnodar team took only fifth place and showed a very controversial game in the tournament.
Among the team's acquisitions, Patrick Miller stands out. The Australian was one of the best basketball players in his home country. Let's see what he will show in the VTB United League.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lokomotiv-Kuban has no problems with its roster.
Interesting facts for betting
Lokomotiv-Kuban is a fairly bright team that plays interesting basketball. For example, last season, in matches with Yenisei, no fewer than 168 points were scored. Something similar can be expected from the opponents now.

Enisey Krasnoyarsk

Current form
Last season was successful for Yenisey. The Krasnoyarsk team performed well in the regular championship and earned a ticket to the playoffs.
In the offseason, the management decided to strengthen the team even more. Among the newcomers, Victor Sanders stands out. At one time, he tried his hand at the NBA draft, but nothing worked out for him overseas.
