Almost a month ago, Lokomotiv-Kuban traveled to Perm. Then, the Krasnodar team entered the court as favorites, but they were unable to defeat Parma. The match was lost with a score of 88:93. However, after that, Andrey Vedischev team took everything into their own hands and won three victories in a row. They even defeated CSKA (69:65) and Nizhny Novgorod (101:86).

1.85Tip and bets
Permians have been very confident in their recent away games. For example, they lost to UNICS by nine points. In addition, we should not forget that they have beaten Lokomotiv-Kuban twice this season. Yes, this time Vedischev team will try to take revenge, but we doubt that the match will be easy for them. Parma has every chance to hold out in Krasnodar.
Despite the recent defeats from the giants, we believe that everything will work out for the guests. Moreover, Lokomotiv-Kuban is currently not acting as confidently as CSKA and UNICS.
Our prediction is Parma with a handicap of (+9.5) points at 1.79
Bet on total
The last face-to-face meeting of the teams was productive, but this does not happen often. In the previous three matches, no more than 167 points were scored. Given this, we assume that history will repeat itself. It is unlikely that the opponents will play on opposite courses.
Forecast - total under 167.5 points for 1.65
Bet on statistics
In 3 of the last 4 matches, Lokomotiv-Kuban did not score less than 85 points. At home, the Krasnodar team should repeat this result. They should not play worse and can please the stands with a spectacle.
Forecast - Lokomotiv-Kuban: total over 85.5 points for 1.78
