Another game for today with a clear favorite as the incomplete Red Star welcomes Zenit.
Many problems for Asteras as the previous match with Zalgiris was postponed while in the cup, despite winning it, he played without 5 players, which logically will be the cases. We are not talking about simple absences as they are Walden, Noko, Hall, Reth and Colom. If we add ODbryant to them, who has had a fight with Radonjic, it is understood that they are basic gears of the machine. Total 45 points will be missing from today with what this may mean as we are talking about a team that has an average of 74 points.
On the other hand, Zenit is not doing so well lately as it has several consecutive defeats away but all opponents were from the top shelf as they are in the playoffs. Poitres is the only absentee for Pascual's team that has high aspirations this year and such games as today must be won as it is marginally within the 8th team although it has some games less.
summarizing with so many shortcomings, Asteras will definitely have problems that will become more and more apparent as the match progresses as the rotation will necessarily be limited. Together the Under as well as both teams play at a low tempo and especially Asteras who will have to manage forces.
The point I choose is ... Zenith (-6.5 & Under 155.5 pts) in performance 2.68 at stoiximan.
