Time: 20:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Krasnodar, Basket Hall
Broadcast: VK Video, WINLINE Basket Cup website
Lokomotiv Kuban: After starting with 3 losses, the Krasnodar team can no longer afford to make any mistakes. To advance to the next round of the Cup, Loko must win all 3 remaining group stage games. The quest to achieve this difficult task will begin on Thursday against PARMA, the teams have played 3 times this season, including in the VTB League (1-2). New head coach Tomislav Tomovic started with the loss to Enisey, but then followed up with inspiring wins over MBA-MAI and Zenit. The team is on the rise.
PARMA: The Perm team has 2-1 record and second place in Group A. A win in Krasnodar would bring PARMA significantly closer to the Playoffs, but it will not be easy. The Perm team has been very convincing at UDS Molot this season, but not so good on the road, losing to Loko at Basket Hall. Nevertheless, Evgeny Pashutin team has delivered so many surprises that they are no longer surprising anyone. This season, the team is performing at the high level and is ready to compete with the Top 4 teams.
