BC Astana

Current form
Gleb Plotnikov team continues to suffer setbacks. In 2025, they managed to meet CSKA and lost with a score of 55:99. Even in the domestic championship, Astana is not performing well. In a 2-match confrontation with Irbis-Alatau, the team suffered one setback.

1.75Tip and bets
The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents was productive. Then 167 points were scored. Of course, after the departure of the legionnaires, the effectiveness of the representatives of Kazakhstan has significantly decreased, but even now they sometimes have good matches. For example, recently they threw 73 points to Yenisei.
Avtodor defense is not that reliable. Saratov concede quite a lot, so we assume that the meeting with Astana will be a high-flying one.
Our prediction is total over 150.5 points for 1.72
