LiontipsZenit - Samara: betting tip (cf. 1.78) and bets on the VTB United League match
Command Analysis
Just before the break in the championship, Zenit was defeated by CSKA on the road with a score of 88:93, but showed a fairly confident game.
After the resumption of the championship, Aleksandar Sekulich's team confirmed its class, confidently beating Uralmash (86:79). The most productive player of the team was Fraser, who scored 20 points. Dmitrievich and Martyuk scored 14 points. The rest of the team from St. Petersburg performed much worse.
Samara continues to wallow at the bottom of the VTB United League standings, with 0 wins and 12 losses. Sometimes she shows glimpses of a good game, and in October she was close to her first win of the season several times. However, matches against top teams are especially difficult for her.
Samara's main problem is a weak bench. There is no one to replace the leaders, but they cannot play the whole match. For example, in the confrontation with Lokomotiv Kuban, the substitutes scored four times fewer points than the players of the starting five.

1.82Tip and bets
In October, Zenit beat Samara by a 49-point margin, and the St. Petersburg team played that match away. Of course, the Samaritans perform much better after that, but it is unlikely that they will be able to avoid defeat now. They recently lost heavily to the Kuban Locomotive. We expect that they will also have no mercy in the confrontation with Zenit.
Our betting tip is Zenit with a handicap (-34.5) points for 1.78
