LiontipsUNICS - Samara. Prediction and bet on the match of the VTB United League
Command Analysis
Current form
UNICS took full advantage of the misfires that Zenit CSKA made. Thanks to this, Velimir Perasovic charges rose to second place in the tournament table, pushing the team from St. Petersburg out of it. Now they will try to catch up with the Moscow army men.
It is worth adding that the team from Kazan has not lost for too long. In many ways, this was possible thanks to UNICS victory in a face-to-face meeting with Zenit. In addition, Perasovich charges also defeated Astana, Uralmash and Yenisei.

UNICS has no personnel problems.
