Place: Russia, Krasnodar, Basket Hall
Broadcast: Match! Igra, VK Video, WINLINE Basket Cup website
Lokomotiv Kuban: The Krasnodar team started December with the overtime loss to CSKA in the VTB League (90:95). Loko had to wait for the first win in the first month of winter—it came only last weekend in Nizhny Novgorod. Now the team will try to celebrate the first win in the WINLINE Basket Cup, where Loko previously lost to PARMA and MEGA. In case of 3rd loss, the chances of advancing will be minimal.
CSKA: The Moscow team also cannot be satisfied with the place in the Cup. The dominant club in the United League (1st place; currently on a 6-game winning streak) is currently at 3rd place in Group A. CSKA already has 2 wins over its main rival in the League’s regular season, and now the Moscow team intend to upset the former assistant Anton Yudin for the 3rd time, this time in the WINLINE Basket Cup.
