Our Prediction
"Khimki" has serious game and staffing problems. "Khimki" played against "Alba" with ten men against veterans Monya, Vyaltsev and Ponkrashov. "Zenit" does not have such difficulties and is confidently playing not only in the VTB United League, but also in the Euroleague. We expect that the strike trio Shved, Mickey, McCollum of "Blue-yellows" will have a hand in breaking through TB (159.5). Peter is the favorite and the first part of the combined bet is the home win.
Our prediction is that "Zenit" will win with total over (165.5) points with odds of 1.88 on 1xbet.
