LiontipsAvtodor - Astana. Betting Tip and bets on the match of the VTB United League
Command Analysis
Current form
Milinko Bogicevic team will open a series of home matches with a meeting with Astana. The first opponent is very convenient, because it is considered a supplier of points. In November, the teams already met each other twice and Avtodor had no problems then. The away match was won with a score of 72:54, and the home one - 88:81.
It is worth adding that Bogičević team still has a chance to get into the top 6. At the moment, they have won nine matches and are in eighth place. The team is two wins away from sixth place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Avtodor has no personnel problems.
Interesting facts for betting
Avtodor have a negative balance of wins and losses at home. Milinko Bogicevic team have lost six matches and won only five.
Probable lineup : Crawford - Agada, Beslach - Jones, Kanter.
Current form
Gleb Plotnikov team continues to suffer setbacks. In 2025, they managed to meet CSKA and lost with a score of 55:99. Even in the domestic championship, Astana is not performing well. In a 2-match confrontation with Irbis-Alatau, the team suffered one setback.
It is worth adding that Astana players not only lose away, but also act terribly in attack. For example, in 3 of the last 4 matches they did not score more than 59 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out: Murray-Boyles and Sparks.

1.75Tip and bets
The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents was productive. Then 167 points were scored. Of course, after the departure of the legionnaires, the effectiveness of the representatives of Kazakhstan has significantly decreased, but even now they sometimes have good matches. For example, recently they threw 73 points to Yenisei.
Avtodor defense is not that reliable. Saratov concede quite a lot, so we assume that the meeting with Astana will be a high-flying one.
Our prediction is total over 150.5 points for 1.72
