LiontipsZenit - Nizhny Novgorod: betting tip (cf. 1.78) and bets on the VTB United League match
Command Analysis
The beginning of January turned out to be flawless for Zenit — the team won both opening matches of the month. The victory over Avtodor (75:62) looked expected, but the success in Perm (85:77) has much more weight. Lokomotiv Kuban, UNICS and CSKA stumbled on the home court of Parma, but Zenit managed to perform better than its competitors.
It seems that the wards of Alexander Sekulich are gradually reaching the optimal level of readiness. They've been playing a very high-quality game lately.
Nizhny Novgorod's start to the year also looked encouraging. First, the Volga team won an away victory over Yenisei (76:72), but that was the end of it. In the Russian Cup, Nizhny Novgorod failed to beat Zenit's reserves (83:84), and then lost to Uralmash (73:76).
Nizhny Novgorod still occupies the ninth place in the standings. The Volga team has only won five matches. The team is still outside the playoff zone.

1.86Tip and bets
Zenit has won its last three home matches big. Even Lokomotiv Kuban couldn't resist in St. Petersburg, losing by a 29-point margin. We believe that something similar awaits Nizhny Novgorod. The Volga team is not in the right playing conditions to fight on equal terms with the favorite. Most likely, they will not be able to stop Sekulich's charges.
Our betting tip is Zenit with a handicap of (-18.5) points for 1.78
