In the VTB United League, «Avtodor» and «Astana» have met 19 times, with the score currently standing at 12:7 in favor of the opponent.
Currently, «Avtodor» is in the penultimate place in the standings with one win and four losses, but first impressions can be misleading. As Oleg Kiselev noted before the game, the Saratov team is a serious opponent, having won on the road against «Uralmash» and only lost to «Enisey» due to a single effective possession by the Krasnoyarsk team.
«After a couple of defeats, we must recover psychologically and bring new energy in preparation for the game. «Astana» is a powerful opponent; the Kazakh team has performed at a high level in both matches. We need to cope with their energy,» - said the head coach of the Saratov team, Milenko Bogicevic, ahead of the match.
The game will occur at the Saryarka Velodrome and start at 8:00 p.m. You can purchase tickets by following this link:
