In the next VTB United League game between Lokomotiv and Zenit, the chances of railwaymen can be called more preferable, the current champion of the country seems weaker this season, the honored coach of Russia told Sergei Elevitch .
Lokomotiv-Kuban and Zenit will play in Krasnodar on Wednesday, the game will start at 8:30 p.m. (Moscow time).
– Of course, these two teams are now a bit weaker compared to last year. But still, these are battle-ready teams that can show really good basketball. I love Lokomotiv, it gives many Russian players the opportunity to prove themselves and pays great attention to the education of their youth. I think the Krasnodar club is on the right track here.
Well, Zenit is still a bit weak compared to last season. Of course, their attack was stronger before. However, it is a team that has won two tournaments against CSKA this year. Therefore, of course, it won’t be so easy for Lokomotiv to play with him.
Probably, the chances of rivals are about equal here. But I would still give preference to Lokomotiv because they play at home. It will be interesting for me to watch the work of the coaching staff and the play of promising youngsters in this match, – Elevich told .
In the standings, Zenit occupies the third row, Lokomotiv-Kuban is fifth.
