CSKA started its performance in the tournament with a victory. In the opening match, the Muscovites broke the resistance of Lokomotiv-Kuban (105:95). The team's most productive player was Melo Trimble. The Army player scored 19 points, three rebounds and two assists.
It is worth noting that CSKA has retained its lineup and even strengthened it with Avramovich. In the new season, the Muscovites will again be competing for the highest places in all competitions.

CSKA has no problems with its roster.
Interesting facts for betting
CSKA is taking too long to get going. If you look at the team's recent matches, you can see that the "army men" have lost 6 of the previous 7 starting quarters. The team starts to perform better closer to the end of the match.
Estimated line-up : Trimble - M'Baye, Avramovich - Jean-Charles, Kurbanovich.
Current form
Crvena Zvezda will play its first match in the tournament. The Serbian team includes several players who are familiar to Russian basketball fans. For example, Miller-McIntyre once defended the colors of Zenit, and Bolombey spent four seasons at CSKA. In addition, the head coach of Crvena Zvezda is Yannis Sferopoulos, who also previously worked in Moscow.
Disqualifications and injuries
Milos Teodosic's appearance on the court is in question.

1.80Tip and bets
For Crvena Zvezda, this will be the first match in the tournament, so the team is unlikely to show its first game. It will face an uncomfortable opponent, to whom it regularly loses. The Army Men looked too good in the previous match, so they have every chance of not noticing their next opponent. We believe that Pistolis' charges will succeed.
Our prediction is CSKA with a handicap of (-4.5) points for 1.85
Bet on total
Most of the teams' head-to-head encounters were high-scoring. They have a good attack, so we think they will break the 165-point mark. Especially since CSKA scored 105 points in their last match.
Betting Tip - total over 165.5 points for 1.80
Bet on statistics
The 83-point mark doesn't seem high. Considering the Army team's performance, we think they'll easily cope with it.
Betting Tip - CSKA: total over 83.5 for 1.70
