Basketball predictions

The VTB United League has become the main outlet for fans of Russian basketball. After being suspended from the Euroleague, the teams rushed to solve their problems in this tournament. Especially trying CSKA, caught in difficult circumstances. The team was indeed expelled from the main club tournament of the Old World, which was a serious blow to morale. In addition, the legionnaires, who brought great benefits by their actions, left the squad en masse.


Nizhny Novgorod fell down, which every day hits the team more and more tangibly. She has lost five matches in a row and is in a terrible emotional state. Basketball players literally stopped believing in their own strength. On March 28, the rivals will meet each other on the floor of the Krylatskoye stadium in Moscow.

As the VTB United League approaches the playoffs, teams are pushing their limits as they battle to make it to the next round of the competition. Not the best state of affairs in Astana, which takes only ninth place in the standings. Therefore, she can quickly go on early leave if she does not correct the situation at the finish line of the regular championship. One gets the feeling that the team is fully focused on the championship of Kazakhstan.


Zenit is fighting for the title, trying to climb higher. He is well aware that in the playoffs, the advantage of the home court can play a decisive role. Therefore, the team will enter the floor at the limit of motivation, will not play with an opponent in a giveaway. On March 27, the teams will meet each other on the floor of the Saryarka Velodrome arena in Nur-Sultan.

The VTB United League continues to throw up fiery confrontations, although the playoff stage has not yet started. Lokomotiv-Kuban is not spending the season in the best way, stumbles too often. But lately he has become very active and won two matches in a row. The club expects to be able to knock out the advantage of the home court at least in the starting round of the playoffs.


But UNICS for a long time went without defeat, but still made an unfortunate misfire. And it can be fatal, because the team missed the first line in the standings.

The regular draw of the VTB United League is reaching the finish line, the participants are starting to distribute places before the start of the playoffs. Nizhny Novgorod lost in six of the last eight matches, and ended up in a protracted gaming crisis. He has already fallen to the seventh position in the standings of the competition, but he is well aware that he will definitely be in the next stage. The main problem of the team was the weak attacking line, which scored only 872 points in 11 meetings.


UNICS continues to churn out victories and dominate, looking almost flawless. In addition, representatives of the club reported that the key foreign players are not going to leave Kazan. The team has a great opportunity not only to finish the preliminary stage in the first position, but also to compete for the coveted title. On March 14, the rivals will clash with each other at the site of the Nagorny stadium in Nizhny Novgorod.

Russian clubs were banned from participating in the Euroleague, so they turned their attention to the VTB United League. Avtodor continues to make noise there, which is deservedly considered one of the main discoveries of the current competition draw. The team managed to present several high-profile sensations, looks great and constantly adds. She expects to first break into the playoffs from a high place, and then compete for the main prize of the competition.


CSKA is in a very difficult situation, forced to constantly think about how to fix the current situation. Firstly, the team can frankly crumble after being removed from the Euroleague. Secondly, many legionnaires have already expressed their desire to leave the team. On March 7, the rivals will meet each other on the floor of the Kristall Arena in Saratov.

In the regular Euroleague draw, an interesting tour will take place, in which many top events are planned. Zenit lost two matches in a row, gave way to Olympiacos and lost a potential home court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. But at home, the team is doing quite well - it has seven wins and four losses. At the finish line, it is important to act accurately in order to still break into the TOP-4. This factor can become decisive in the next stage of the competition.


Barcelona have won four games in a row and are in great emotional shape. She came out on top in the standings, sharing the lead with Real Madrid. The team definitely wants to be the winner in the regular championship. On February 25, the rivals will meet on the floor of the Sibur Arena in St. Petersburg.

In the current regular Euroleague draw, there are fewer and fewer matches left, so with each round the situation is heating up more and more. Bayern are still outside the playoff zone, but have come close to it. She gave a successful series of matches, which had a positive effect on the emotional state of the basketball players. One of the main advantages of the German team is the ability to perform well at home (eight wins and four losses).


CSKA began to stumble too often, experiencing serious game difficulties. And this is despite the fact that the team has practically ensured itself getting into the next stage of the competition, but can hardly count on the advantage of the home court. It is for this reason that the teams will enter the floor at the limit of motivation. On February 24, the rivals will clash with each other in a face-to-face confrontation.

Monaco and UNICS will meet on February 22 to sort out their basketball relationship, as part of the postponed 20th round of the Euroleague 2021/22 on the floor of the Salle Gaston Medesen arena.

The Euroleague is rapidly approaching the final round of the regular championship, the teams have to squeeze the last juice out of themselves to achieve the optimal result. Alba almost said goodbye to the hopes of being in the playoffs of the competition. She is 15th in the standings with seven wins and 16 losses. It is for this reason that the team gave up and loses in almost every match.


Zenit, on the contrary, is having a very successful season and is counting on getting into the Final Four. At the moment, he takes fourth place in the standings, looks very convincing. True, recently the team began to stumble too often. On February 10, a face-to-face confrontation between these rivals will take place.

The 26th round of the Euroleague is preparing several high-profile signs for basketball fans at once. Maccabi Tel Aviv gave a series of three victories in a row, but still stumbled. The team almost ironically flies past the playoffs of the competition, which can be a serious blow. A big problem is the lack of understanding between the players, open conflicts happen on the floor.


CSKA consistently wins back against the representatives of the lower part of the standings. "CSKA" just perfectly learned how to take their points, in some matches they do it in economy mode. But a certain problem may be that the team does not perform well on the road.

The denouement of one of the most interesting Euroleague draws in recent years promises to be fantastic in terms of passions. Real Madrid is approaching the decisive battles in the status of the sole leader of the standings. He demolishes one opponent after another, won even without his main basketball players. And with the leaders in the ranks, the dominance of the “creamy” becomes only more tangible.


Zenit from St. Petersburg won two matches in a row and is in excellent emotional condition. He continues to fight for a place in the top four, confidently uses misfires from his pursuers. The team hopes to get the home court advantage in the playoffs by any means.

In the Euroleague, every matchday becomes more important as playoff spots start to be distributed. CSKA is practically not worried about this, because after the New Year holidays they made a powerful breakthrough. The team is fully focused on international competitions, which allows us to demonstrate high-quality basketball. But you can’t relax, because the most important task remains - to win the advantage of the home court before the playoffs.


Anadolu Efes frankly fails the season, and missing out on the playoffs literally hung over the heads of the players. They feel emotional pressure that leads to strange mistakes and constant defeat. Correcting the situation at the finish line will be incredibly difficult. On February 2, the rivals will meet each other on the floor of the Megasport Arena in Moscow.

The French Metropolitan 92 will host Lokomotiv Kuban on February 2 in the match of the 12th round of the Eurocup group stage of the 2021/22 season. The meeting of the teams will be held at the Palais des Sports in Levallois-Perret.

The 23rd round of the Euroleague Basketball will please with a fiery confrontation between two representatives of Russia. UNICS improved qualitatively and took sixth place in the standings of the competition. He stumbled in the last match, but this will only act as an additional catalyst for ambitious basketball players. Therefore, the Kazan club will definitely enter the court at the limit of motivation.


CSKA this season frankly plays poorly in defense. Therefore, the team has to make every effort to cover all the problems with attacking actions. The team will try to break the unsuccessful series of head-to-head matches. On January 28, the rivals will meet each other at the Basket Hall site in Kazan.

The 23rd round of the Euroleague will be especially important for the Russian teams, which are ranked sixth through eighth in the standings. Zenit could be taller, but unexpectedly stumbled in the last match. Now he will throw all his strength into correcting himself in front of his fans. On the home parquet, the team began to lose too often, so it will also come out at the limit of motivation.


Anadolu Efes after the previous season was considered one of the main favorites of the new competition draw. But in the end, he is in a borderline position, any misfire can be fatal, send the team beyond the cherished eight. From this point of view, the upcoming confrontation will be incredibly important for the Turkish club. The rivals will meet each other on January 27 at the Sibur Arena in St. Petersburg.

On January 26, 2022, the Russian Lokomotiv Kuban will host the Lithuanian Lietkabelis in the 11th round of the Eurocup group stage. The match will take place at the Basket Hall arena in Krasnodar. 

The VTB United League will soon finally determine the list of playoff participants, each team intends to break into the next stage of the competition. CSKA should not experience any problems with this, since he is located in close proximity to the top of the standings. The team looks traditionally powerful, destroying rivals on the home court (three wins and no losses). She will try to compete for first place in the regular championship.


Kalev has lost three of his last four matches and is not looking his best. He is located outside the playoff zone, from which he is actually only one victory behind. Therefore, for each new fight, the team goes to the limit of dedication and motivation. And any misfire will entail a decrease in the chances of continuing the fight for the title. On January 24 at, the rivals will meet each other on the floor of the Megasport Arena in Moscow.

In the 22nd round of the Euroleague, several fiery confrontations will take place at once, it will be especially interesting to watch the clubs from Russia. CSKA won two matches in a row after the New Year holidays and significantly improved its standings. He went to the sixth position in the table and reduced the backlog from the leading group to a minimum. Now you need to fight for home court advantage in the playoffs of the competition.


Olimpia Milano loses extremely rarely, so they are in fourth place. But the main successes fall on home matches, and the team has only 50% of victories on the road. And in Moscow, the team historically has great difficulties. On January 21, the rivals will clash with each other on the floor of the Megasport Arena in Moscow.

The regular Euroleague draw has survived the most difficult quarantine times, and the 22nd round of the competition should finally turn out to be full-fledged - without postponements. At the limit of motivation, Zenith approaches him, who made a serious bid to get into the playoffs. He won four matches in a row, so he is in excellent condition. The team has already climbed to the fifth position in the standings, but is definitely not going to stop there.


Monaco has a successful series of three victories, which allowed them to get close to the coveted eight. The French club is not doing very well on the road. It is for this reason that it may be difficult for the team in the upcoming match, they will have to act as the second number. On January 20, the rivals will meet each other on the floor of the Sibur Arena in St. Petersburg.

The VTB United League is perceived by many teams as a game practice right up to the playoff stage. The giants are well aware that they will almost ironically find themselves in decisive battles for the title, since they perform very powerfully, some victories are taken even by the second squad. But Zenit has recently begun to stumble too often - twice in the last three meetings. This simply could not but affect the emotional state and tournament position. The team lost the lead and fell immediately to the fourth position in the table.


This was immediately taken advantage of by CSKA, which froze a little at the start of the competition. He is traditionally gaining momentum progressively, trying not to force things too much. This is what allows us to approach the playoffs almost at the peak, to give out our best basketball. On January 17, the rivals will meet each other in a principled confrontation on the floor of the Sibur Arena in St. Petersburg.

The Euroleague came out from the New Year holidays and offers basketball fans the most interesting matches. Moscow CSKA is in excellent emotional and functional condition. The team has issued a series of three victories in a row in all competitions, adding from match to match. The leaders have finally recovered from damage, so they are ready to demonstrate the optimal level of play.


ASVEL lost four matches in a row and fell out of the playoff zone, having lost confidence in their abilities. Only in the last match did he finally break his black streak. But one gets the feeling that the only victory in a long time cannot be considered a full-fledged harbinger of a way out of the crisis. On January 14, the rivals will meet each other on the floor of the Megasport Arena in Moscow.

Coronavirus has not canceled all Euroleague matches, individual teams continue to struggle with their last strength to get into the playoffs of the competition. Panathinaikos, however, looks frankly weak and helpless. He settled in the basement of the standings, has a frankly low chance of continuing to fight for the title. It is for this reason that basketball players openly give up.


CSKA is having one of the toughest seasons in recent memory. He is in a borderline position, and each misfire can greatly affect the chances of getting into the playoffs. It is for this reason that every single fight has to go to the limit of motivation. On January 12, the rivals will meet each other on the floor of the Olympic Indoor Hall in Athens.

The Euroleague is going through the most difficult times, as almost all matches are postponed due to the coronavirus. Some clubs cannot even collect a full application to take part in the meeting. But the only match of the 19th round of the regular competition promises to be very interesting. Olympia Milano began to lose often, which negatively affects the emotional state of basketball players. At the start of the tournament, she churned out victories and looked just great. But over time, it became clear that resources for the entire season may simply not be enough, you need to learn how to correctly distribute your forces over the entire distance.


Zenith issued a series of four victories in a row and is definitely not going to stop there. The leaders have rebooted and are again swaggering over their rivals, acting very powerfully. Therefore, even on the road, the club from St. Petersburg may well surprise. On January 7, the opponents will converge on the floor of the Mediolanum arena in Milan.

The 18th round of Euroleague basketball is held on New Year's Eve, so it will present a lot of interesting battles. Crvena Zvezda is not doing the best in the current competition. It affects the fact that the team pays great attention to the Adriatic League. Leaders cannot withstand such a load, they start to fizzle out. But Zenit from St. Petersburg is the best representative of Russia in the international arena. The team won three matches in a row and are in a great emotional state. He has a good chance of gaining a home court advantage in the regular draw. On December 30, the rivals will face off at the Stark Arena in Belgrade. 

VTB United League is not going to pause during the Christmas and New Year holidays, it will delight basketball fans with top fights. The central match of the final part of the season will be the battle of the representatives of the leading group. Zenith has recently noticeably slowed down and began to stumble, it does not look as convincing as the fans and the basketball players themselves would like. The team dropped to fourth place in the standings. And the last defeat once again emphasized that unhealthy processes are taking place inside the squad.


After the controversial start of the season, UNICS reached a completely different level of play, literally began to destroy rivals. He caught up with the leader in the number of victories and looks powerful. Key basketball players have caught the courage and, at the same time, represent Russia in the Euroleague with dignity.

On December 26, the rivals will meet each other on the floor of the Sibur Arena in St. Petersburg.

On December 22, Barcelona will host UNICS at the Palau Blaugrana Arena in the 17th round of the Euroleague. The hosts of the parquet head the final protocol of the competition, and the guests are fourth in it. 

The Euroleague has come close to the second round, and still pleases with intrigue and a large number of top-end confrontations. Monaco is in a bad mood, having lost five matches in a row. This pushed the French club back to the 14th position in the standings, so the chances of getting into the playoffs are rapidly fading before our eyes. The team urgently needs to correct the situation before it becomes completely deplorable.


Zenit also gave an unsuccessful streak of three defeats and looks frankly not the best way. A battle on two fronts literally squeezes out the leaders of the team, takes away the last of their strength. On December 17, the rivals will face each other.

This Euroleague season is turning out to be one of the most exciting in recent years. The main reason is that each team can win even against a recognized leader. Zenit started the rally excellently and settled at the top of the tournament table. He even had a real chance of competing for first place, but suddenly failed two matches in a row. This seriously reduced the likelihood of becoming the winner of the regular championship.


Fenerbahce is frankly failing the current season of competitions, therefore, it is natural to settle in the basement of the standings. And even the last victory is unlikely to help correct the deplorable situation. On the road, the team's affairs are bad - only one victory in seven meetings.

On December 9, the rivals will meet each other on the floor of the Sibur Arena in St. Petersburg.

The regular Euroleague draw is rapidly approaching the equator, the struggle for each of the eight playoff spots is becoming more and more fierce. CSKA is surprisingly weak during the season, it is only in ninth position in the standings. “CSKA” are experiencing serious game problems, which manifested itself quite strongly during the trip to Spain.

On November 25, the rivals will face off at the Megasport Arena in Moscow.

In addition, the club expects to climb higher in order to have good chances for the Final Four.


Olympiacos was a little stuck at the start of the season and did not inspire overwhelming confidence. But over time, he began to walk through the rivals literally as a skating rink, gaining momentum. And now the team is a real contender for victory in the regular season.

For most teams, the VTB United League is becoming a field for experimentation, so any fight can turn out to be incredibly interesting. Kalev is one of the outsiders of the rally, as he settled in the basement of the standings and does not look his best. The team is unlikely to seriously count on getting into the playoffs of the competition. He uses the tournament as a platform for playing practice and rich experience with which he can dominate the Latvian-Estonian basketball league.


CSKA, on the other hand, looks flawless and knows no defeat, so it naturally sits in the first position in the standings. The club has won four matches in a row and is not going to stop there. Additionally, the “army team” is spurred on by the failure in France, as there were two nightmare fights in the Euroleague. On November 1, the rivals will meet at the Sole Sportdikeskus arena in Tallinn.

Next in line is the second confrontation between Russian clubs, which has already become principled. CSKA started badly in the draw, but quickly worked on the mistakes and corrected in front of the fans. True, the fight with Anadolu Efes once again emphasized that the main problem of Itoudis's squad has not gone anywhere. Towards the end of the meeting, "CSKA" are able to lose any advantage.

So far, the team looks confident only in Turkey, where it literally runs over rivals with a skating rink. Now it is necessary to prove their worth in the international arena as well.

UNICS rinks through all the opponents in the playoffs, literally leaving them no chance. Moreover, in the final series, the team will have the advantage of its own site. But the big question is how many matches the team will be able to play on the home floor.


CSKA is angry about the failure in the Euroleague Final Four, so it is set to triumph as much as possible. Ambitious basketball players will not allow themselves to be left without a second title. And an experienced head coach should take the Kazan club literally to pieces.

On June 5, the first match of the series will take place, the opponents will meet in the "Basket Hall" in Kazan.

The "Final Four" of the Euroleague basketball is fantastic, proof of which are the ardent semifinal duels. Anadolu Efes again bet on the initial attack and did not lose, however, he led the matter to victory. The Turkish Club is well aware that in the low season a serious restructuring awaits him, so every basketball player wants to win the title. The team once again demonstrated the strength of their line of attack.


Barcelona has clearly demonstrated that it is able to incorporate character at a key moment. Experienced artists have gone through a lot of games for the title in their career and no longer worry, they act pragmatically. The team will attempt to completely shut down the opponent's leaders to deprive him of major wins.
