H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
CSKA Moscow Team Overview
CSKA Moscow are in exceptional form, riding a ten-game winning streak. The team averages 95.1 points per game (the best in the tournament) over their last ten matchups while maintaining a solid defense, allowing just 76.1 points. A key factor in their success is their high shooting efficiency and consistent rebounding. It's also worth noting the team's offensive prowess, as they've scored more than 96.5 points in six of their last seven VTB League games.
As the regular season wrapped up, Andreas Pistiolis' squad defeated last year's final opponent, Zenit, with a score of 83-74. The Moscow side played exceptionally disciplined defense, denying the Saint Petersburg team easy ball movement and limiting their open looks. CSKA excelled offensively, particularly from beyond the arc, converting 41.7% of their three-point attempts. Against Enisey, the club is likely to employ its signature strategy once again. We anticipate a standout performance from the current roster's star, Trimble, who is averaging 18.3 points per game this season and is a strong contender for MVP honors.

Enisey Krasnoyarsk Team Overview
Yenisey Krasnoyarsk find themselves in a tough spot with just three wins in their last ten games and currently enduring a losing streak. The team averages 80.4 points per game while conceding around 83 points in their last ten matchups. Despite their poor form, Yenisey can surprise opponents with accurate long-range shots and swift transitions from defense to offense.
However, the Siberian squad typically capitalizes on these strengths against fellow underdogs and mid-table teams, whereas facing the league's top contenders has been a different story. There have been some improvements in this regard, though, as seen in the spring when Yenisey narrowly lost by just 6 and 3 points to Unics Kazan and Zenit St. Petersburg. However, they continue to struggle against CSKA. For instance, their last head-to-head clash ended in a crushing 70-103 defeat in Moscow. Perhaps in the playoffs, club leaders Tasic and Artis, who average 15.3 and 11.8 points respectively, might help avoid a repeat of such a blowout?
