Command Analysis
BC Zenit
Russian FederationCurrent form
Zenit failed in the previous match and for the first time this season allowed their opponents to score more than 100 points. All the reliability in defense that Javier Pascual charges had demonstrated for a long time disappeared somewhere. That evening they were not like themselves and lost to Lokomotiv-Kuban with a score of 98:117.
Zenit suffered its fifth defeat of the season and allowed UNICS to catch up. True, for now the team from St. Petersburg remains in third place, as its additional indicators are better. However, in case of failure, everything may change.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zenit has no personnel problems.
Interesting facts for betting
Zenit is considered a team with one of the best defense lines in the league. For example, in 2 of the last 3 matches, Javier Pascual charges did not concede more than 75 points.
Tentative line-up: Moon – Zhbanov, Karasev – Spellman, Hunter.
BC Nizhny Novgorod
Russian FederationCurrent form
Nizhny Novgorod also lost the last match. Four days ago, the team lost to Yenisey in Krasnoyarsk (77:88). This was the fourth failure in a row in the tournament. The last time Nizhny Novgorod won was almost a month ago, when they crushed Yenisey at home. It seems that the team is now in a small crisis.
Despite all the failures, Nizhny Novgorod continues to occupy the sixth line. The team has 11 won matches. However, Parma has already managed to catch up. Another misfire will lower Nizhny Novgorod outside the top 6.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nizhny Novgorod has no personnel problems.

Nizhny Novgorod has hit a bad streak and lost 5 of its last 7 matches. The team has been particularly unsuccessful away from home, where it has a 5-match losing streak.

1.35Tip and bets
Zenit defense failed in the previous match, but it is unlikely to happen again. Javier Pascual can be considered an excellent coach who will definitely draw conclusions and point out the mistakes of his charges. There is no doubt that the team from St. Petersburg will play differently that time.
Zenit opponent is not that strong. Nizhny Novgorod attack cannot boast of stability. It is possible that they will not be able to show their best game in St. Petersburg. Considering that, we assume that the match will be low-scoring.
Our prediction is total under 164.5 points at 1.80

Zenit looked unconvincing in the last match. It can be assumed that Pascual charges relaxed a little. In this case, Nizhny Novgorod will have the opportunity to give the favorite a fight.
Betting Tip - Nizhny Novgorod with a handicap (+16.5) points for 1.92
