CSKA vs Zenit. Preview
So far, things have been relatively good for the opponent: Emil Rajković's team has played 15 matches in the United League and won 14 of them. The only defeat the army team suffered was against Lokomotiv Kuban almost a month ago, but no one else has managed to beat the red and blue since then. They have not lost away games at all, including a victory in St. Petersburg in October.
In the United League, our teams have already played against each other 41 times, and so far, the advantage is not on our side — 26 defeats against 15 victories. However, as our fans know, in recent years, Zenit has been much more likely to disappoint CSKA than before, so this time we are counting on a victory and a reduction in the gap in head-to-head confrontations.
Thomas Heurtel, Zenit BC guard:
— It's always a big game vs. CSKA. They are on the first seed in the standings, so it will be some kind of derby. On their court, with their fans... So we have to be ready to show our maximum.
