BC Zenit vs Besiktas Prediction and Betting Tips (12.09.2024)

Command Analysis

BC Zenit

Russian Federation

Current form

The season is just beginning, but Zenit has already won its first trophy. The team from St. Petersburg recently won the Kondrashin and Belov Cup.

The team did a great job in the transfer market during the off-season. Zenit's ranks were joined by old acquaintance Alex Poythress. In addition to him, Moon, Bacon, Vorontsovich and Spellman moved to St. Petersburg. Also, despite interest from Real Madrid, head coach Xavi Pascual will remain at Zenit for another year.

Disqualifications and injuries

Zenit has no problems with its roster.

Interesting facts for betting

Last season, Zenit beat Besiktas twice, but the most important thing is that the St. Petersburg team started those matches very well. They won the first quarter of the matches with an impressive advantage. Considering the opponent's not-so-best form, Pascual's team will have every chance to repeat this.

Estimated lineup : Moon - Spellman, Bacon - Vorontsevich, Poythress

Besiktas

Turkey

Current form

Besiktas had a disastrously bad start to its performance in the tournament. In the first match, the Turkish team suffered a crushing defeat from UNICS. The match ended with a score of 69:97, not in its favor.

Besiktas' top scorer was Konan, who managed to score 12 points and grab seven rebounds. Allman also scored nine points, while Sliva and Arslan each had eight points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Besiktas has no problems with its squad.

Interesting facts for betting

Besiktas starts its matches quite aggressively. For example, in the match against UNICS, 41 points were scored in the first quarter. In the team's previous two matches, spectators did not see less than 43 points at the start.

Tip and bets

1.8Total under 162.5

Besiktas does not change its tactics. In the confrontation with UNICS, the Turks scored only 69 points, but were unable to stop the opponent's attack. As for Zenit, this team acts more slowly than Kazan. Given this, we assume that the match will be low-scoring.

Our prediction is total under 162.5 points at 1.80
