CSKA will beat with confidence Lokomotiv Kuban in VTB United League playoff semi-final series, says former player for both teams Sergei Bykov .
The semi-final series of up to four wins between CSKA and Lokomotiv-Kuban will begin on April 15 in Moscow at the Megasport Sports Palace. Before the match, festive events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the capital’s basketball club will take place. Watch the live broadcast on from 6:30 p.m.
“I want this streak to be a success. I don’t want to see a ‘zero’ streak, that is, a defeat on the score. But still, I think CSKA are definitely the favourites. Lokomotiv don’t not enough for this streak. But, probably, the streak will give the young players of Loko the opportunity to become stronger and prove themselves. That’s what I wish for them. And therefore, I think that CSKA will reach the final with confidence, Bykov told a correspondent.
– Probably, CSKA will now take on additional responsibility in connection with the anniversary?
– No, I do not think so. They will separately celebrate 100 years and, of course, they will play with confidence and reliability. The main thing is that the series is a success.
In a UNICS – Zenit pair, the rivals are approximately equal, but for some reason it seems to me that the Kazan team will succeed, Bykov told .
