According to the compositionZenith “seems better than”Lokomotiv Kuban ”, but Krasnodar players play on their site, which makes the chances of the teams equal, the honored coach of Russia tells Sergei Elevitch .
The match of the second leg of the VTB United League regular season will take place in Krasnodar on Tuesday and will start at 8:00 p.m. Moscow time. Watch the live broadcast of the Match! Country” and “Match! A game”.
On January 29, Krasnodar beat Zenit at their site with the score of 92:90.
– Compared to the match a month and a half ago, where Loko beat Saint Petersburg on their site, Zenit have changed a lot: they are completely different, they are stronger. Pascual wanted to see players of a certain role in his team, and the club signed deals with such basketball players. I would say that in terms of composition, Zenit are slightly superior to Lokomotiv. They are good foreign players.
Loko now has a lot of good Russian players, and I really like that. Basically, I’m interested in Russian basketball. I don’t like it when we have a lot of foreign basketball players on our teams. I’m somewhat skeptical about this. Even if you can understand the clubs: they solve their problems for the season, they need a result. But now in the championship we have the opportunity to open up our players.
As for the upcoming fixture, I can’t say that Zenit are the big favourites, nor can I say that Lokomotiv are outsiders. Krasnodar is playing at home, so I think the odds here are 50 to 50. Because their stands help the team. But, I repeat, Zenit is stronger in terms of composition,” Elevich told correspondent.
Zenit are in third place in the Group A standings, Lokomotiv are in fifth place.
