Lokomotiv-Kuban vs Zenit. Preview

After two home victories, our team is heading to Krasnodar with the intention of finishing the series on the road. Here’s everything you need to know about Game 3.

Scenarios

The scenarios are quite simple: a win in any of the next potential three games will allow the blue-whites team to win the bronze medals and thus conclude the series in their favor. On their home court, Zenit won twice, and although both times the games ended in a tense finish, a 2-0 score is a solid advantage in any series, especially in a best-of-three series.

Loko will be without center Maurice Ndour, who is injured, but Okaro White will return to the lineup after serving his suspension. The blue-whites infirmary is still not empty, but Xavi Pascual noted that the reserve players are performing excellently and proving that they are ready to help the team at any moment.

Head-to-Head Matches

Our teams have met 30 times in the VTB United League. The two home victories in this series allowed Zenit to take the lead in the head-to-head against Loko — 16 to 14. We’ll do everything to pull away from the Krasnodar team and at the same time win the United League medals!
