Current form
MBA is one of the outsiders of the VTB United League. This season, the Moscow team has won only five matches. In the tournament table, it occupies the penultimate place. Only Astana is performing worse.
It is worth adding that MBA performs poorly away from home. The team has lost 6 out of 8 matches away from home. In its last matches, it lost to Yenisey (76:78) and Samara (88:101).

MBA has no personnel losses.
Interesting facts for betting
