Command Analysis

CSKA Moscow

Current form
Pistolis charges recently lost to Zenit and allowed that team to catch up. Now the team from St. Petersburg has the same number of victories, but the "army men" are ahead of them thanks to better additional indicators.
After a failure in the match with Zenit, CSKA won a confident victory. At home, the capital team left no chance for Krasnoyarsk Yenisei (100:78).
Disqualifications and injuries
CSKA has no personnel losses.
Interesting facts for betting
Only in one of the last five head-to-head meetings did CSKA have difficulty beating MBA. In the remaining matches, the “army men” had no problems.
Estimated lineup: Trimble - Avramovich, M'Baye - Kurbanov, Jekiri.

MBA Moscow

Current form
MBA is one of the outsiders of the VTB United League. This season, the Moscow team has won only five matches. In the tournament table, it occupies the penultimate place. Only Astana is performing worse.
It is worth adding that MBA performs poorly away from home. The team has lost 6 out of 8 matches away from home. In its last matches, it lost to Yenisey (76:78) and Samara (88:101).
Disqualifications and injuries
MBA has no personnel losses.
Interesting facts for betting
In 3 of the last 4 away games, MBA lost by 13 or more points. It will be very difficult to achieve success on the CSKA court.
Estimated lineup: Konovalov – Kasatkin, Ismailov – Zubkov, Minchenko.
