Zenit vs UNICS. Game 6 preview
Opponent
In the previous game of the series, which took place in the capital of Tatarstan, UNICS managed to interrupt Zenit's winning streak and cut the deficit in the series to 3-2. Now the semifinal returns to Saint Petersburg. The Blue-White-Sky Blues still need just one win to advance to the final, while the greens, for their part, will do everything to force a Game 7 — the decisive match.

The main threat throughout the semifinal has come from Kazan’s powerful big-man duo — Jalen Reynolds and Marcus Bingham combined for 40 points in Game 5. Additionally, Alexey Shved and the Kulagin brothers continue to have a major impact on UNICS’s game on both ends of the floor. Despite the absence of the injured Pierre and Manford, the opponent’s roster still has plenty of skilled players capable of deciding the outcome at a crucial moment. So, as always, Zenit must maintain the highest level of concentration throughout the entire game.
Head-to-head
The 55th head-to-head meeting between the teams in the VTB United League is coming up. So far, the record stands at 26-28 in favor of UNICS. We will do everything to make the difference minimal by the start of next season!

Direct speech
