Command Analysis

BC Samara

Current form
Samara suffered a crushing defeat from Lokomotiv Kuban on Wednesday, losing with a crushing score of 46:100. The Volga team looked particularly weak in the first and last quarters, scoring only nine points each.
On Sunday, they will face a stronger and more organized opponent, UNICS. After the departure of the legionnaires, Samara's game crumbled. The team looks very weak, first of all it acts terribly defensively. Obviously, Samara's players are waiting for the end of the regular season and are already on vacation.

1.80Tip and bets
In Samara's previous match, 146 points were scored. Vladislav Konovalov's men look very bad in attack. It feels like the players don't have enough imagination.
Most likely, nothing will change in the confrontation with UNICS. Kazan is no less a strong opponent than Lokomotiv-Kuban, and perhaps even better defensively. In this regard, we doubt that the meeting will be successful.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 153.5 points for 1.80

Samara lost to the Kuban Locomotive with a difference of 54 points. We do not see how the owners will be able to impose the fight on UNICS. They cannot avoid another defeat.

Betting on statistics
Samara has a courtyard under the ring. In this case, the UNICS forwards are unlikely to have any problems. Most likely, the guests will show a productive game.
