Siena (-2.5) - Khimki

3's Euroleague racing and tonight's night include several interesting games with 3 matches to stand out based on the teams' image both in the first and 2 races.
Siena, after a startled start in both Italy and Europe, seems to be a much better team than we expected and impresses with some of its results especially in Euroleague. Once again, the team's scouting of foreign players has worked perfectly as Bobby Brown who came from the Bundesliga turned out to be one hundred pounds. Of course, it is doubtful if the Italian team will be able to keep it in its ranks and the new year of one, and it tends to "bruise" its players. The Italians have begun the second phase with 2 / 2 winning Maccabi in and Fener in Turkey and with a possible victory tonight they will make a serious nomination for one position in 4 first teams of the group having started with the absolute in the first three games against and in compelling forces! Beyond Brown, the only "survivors" of last year's Moss and Ries leave are shown, while Kangar, Jing, Hackett and Sanikitze show up well in the summer.
Khimki's guests on the other hand also come from 2 wins in the first 2 games of the "16" phase, beating Besiktas away - the worst team in the group as it seems - while they won inside Barcelona but played without Juan Carlos Navarro . However, there are two elements that support the victory of the hosts tonight, despite the at least equal soul that the Russian team has. First of all, Kimki has proved that it loses a lot of its capacity when it plays away from home, having already lost 4 of the 6 matches it has given in the Euroleague away from home, having beaten only Besiktas in the premiere of the 2nd phase and Panathinaikos when Greek team was in its worst situation this year between the changes of Kitchen, Armstrong and before Lasme, Banks, Capono and Gist were included in the team. The second factor has to do with whether he is in good condition as according to what was seen yesterday, everyone in the team is unpaid in the last quarter and if nothing changes by January 15, they will go on strike. Maybe that was one of the reasons for her last defeat on VTB by Astana Tigers in Kazakhstan on Monday, although she has already won just one away match in this tournament in Poland against Turoff - by the weakest teams in the VTB championship.
The Italians seem to be more fresh as a team, and they have not had much to do with their opponents, while in the last match against Montagranaro the relatively comfortable prevailing and the difference he had made early allowed Bianchi to relax the basics in the team for to have them in the best possible condition for the tonight match. I will confide Siena specifically with the ease she shows in the 2 191 attack that scored a total of XNUMX points! Several predictions have already gone into the basketball section of the forum here
