Athletistic / Hockey. The final series of the VTB United Basketball League is getting closer, but first we need to determine its participants. One of them will be either CSKA or Zenit, who will continue their series with the sixth match in Moscow.

There will be a live text broadcast of this match on Athletistic: Basketball, VTB United League, semi-final, sixth match, CSKA – Zenit, live text broadcast online.

The Moscow Army team arrived in a good mood at the Megasport Sports Palace stadium. In the previous meeting, which took place in St. Petersburg, Andres Pistiolis’ team won a very important victory from two points of view. Firstly, the success of the “red-blues” turned out to be very convincing (99:73) and became an excellent revenge for the defeat at home in the fourth match (73:91), and, secondly, it put the Zenit in the match. position one step away from relegation from the playoffs.

On the other hand, this could become what is called a “double-edged sword”, because Javier Pasquale’s team, aware of the danger of another defeat, will actively act and even, perhaps, be the first. The St. Petersburg team also benefits from the fact that CSKA is not invulnerable in its stands. This was proven both in the fourth match of the current series and during the regular season – then the “blue-white-blue” broke the resistance of their opponents with a minimum margin – 92:91.

From a statistical point of view, CSKA, of course, looks preferable in almost all respects, but the leader of Zenit’s attacks, Trent Fraser, looks a little more advantageous compared to his opponent from the Moscow camp, Melo Trimble. Perhaps we can say that their performance in the next meeting will be decisive. Also featured will be players such as Casper Ware and Amat M’Bye for CSKA and Thomas Ertel with Vince Carter representing the visiting team.

Online live streaming of the meeting will begin at 4:30 p.m. Moscow time.
