Zenit: no trouble against the strugglers
Duško Ivanović’s team are among the leaders, though they have had their slip-ups. Their recent 68:80 away defeat to CSKA was a setback, but before that Zenit had beaten Dynamo Vladivostok and Yenisei convincingly.
Zenit are traditionally very strong at home. Their squad depth, experience and individual quality allow them to control games against almost any mid-table or lower-ranked side.
Match Results: Zenit

Samara: by far the weakest team in the league
BC Krasnye Krylya Samara remain the only team in the league without a win. Their overall points differential is disastrous (-222). Their recent results include a heavy defeat to Betcity Parma (68:109), followed by losses to Lokomotiv Kuban (62:92) and Zenit (65:99).
Their offence is among the weakest in the league, while their defence regularly concedes close to 90-100 points. The squad consists almost entirely of Russian players and, so far, cannot compete even with mid-table teams.
