Permians have been very confident in their recent away games. For example, they lost to UNICS by nine points. In addition, we should not forget that they have beaten Lokomotiv-Kuban twice this season. Yes, this time Vedischev team will try to take revenge, but we doubt that the match will be easy for them. Parma has every chance to hold out in Krasnodar.

Our prediction is Parma with a handicap of (+9.5) points at 1.79
