The Kuban team has earned the impressions of the transcription bargain and looks like the undisputed favorite to win the Eurocup. The beginning was against the weak Gdtina which was imposed with 73-80 without heavy load. Against her, she will find the earnest Zenit who aspires to a good Eurocup tournament and as good a place as possible in the VTB League. The hosts are the undisputed favorite in the showdown and if they appear serious they will be able to prevail. Ace with more than 3 points.
