Zenit
ZENIT St. Petersburg will play its first home match in the Euroleague only in the fourth round of the Euroleague basketball. Away meetings in Kazan and Kaunas brought victories. At this, the white stripe of the "blue-white-blue" is interrupted. On Tuesday, they once again played with CSKA, losing to old acquaintances with a score of 67:77. Pascual's team harnessed for a long time, and woke up only when the gap from the opponent was 14 points. It was not possible to win back such a handicap, despite Loyd's 19 points.
Bayern Munich
The Munich team shamed its big name this week. A couple of days ago, the Germans started shockingly in Kazan against UNICS and led with a score of 37:26. In the third quarter, the Trinchieri team seemed to have forgotten what a high-quality offensive game is. As a result, the "greens" reduced the gap from the "reds" and were able to defeat the opponent. The guests with three losses are in the penultimate place in the Euroleague standings.
Statistics and figures:
- Zenit is the favorite of the meeting;
- The St. Petersburg team won three times in 5 matches;
