1.75Tip and bets
We don't expect a high-scoring game from this one. Yenisey is in a crisis right now, and they will be facing a team that defends very well. For example, Pascual men didn't allow Astana to score even 60 points. Given this, we expect the game to be low-scoring.
Our prediction is total under 157.5 points at 1.77
Bet on the outcome
Zenit shouldn't have any problems. Javier Pascual charges are too good now, so they should confidently cope with the crisis-ridden Yenisei.
Forecast - Zenit with a handicap of (-13.5) points for 1.65
Bet on statistics
As we wrote above, Yenisey has problems with attacking play. In 3 of the last 4 matches, the team did not score more than 78 points. It is quite possible that this will happen now.
Forecast - "Yenisey": total under 79.5 points for 1.78
