17:30 BC Tsmoki-Minsk – Zenit St Petersburg

Tsmoki Minsk has started this season very poorly. Team has lost all 5 games in the VTB League. Including the last campaign, Tsmoki has not been able to get a victory for a very long time now in this league. Team also has started the Eurochallenge tournament very badly. The hosts clearly are in a very bad mood at the moment. Just recently all players refused to receive salaries for their weak performance. I like how Zenit is playing. Team had a lot changes in between the seasons but it has maintained their leading players like Kulagin and Laundry. Zenit is playing very fast basketball, and the opponents very often have big problems against their fast breaks. In my opinion, Zenit is a clear favourite in this match.
