The teams with the longest winning streaks in BEKO PBL will meet on USH CSKA court on Saturday. The streak of army men, who lead the tournament, is even shorter than the one of Triumph which stays second.

“The opponents are on a good pace having won 6 games in a row and they deserved to be in Top 3 teams in the league,” – CSKA head coach Jonas Kazlauskas said. “They have good melt of youth and experience, right team chemistry. Therefore Triumph is a very dangerous opponent, and we had a chance to assure that in our game in Lyubertsy. It is interesting for me to see how our players who did not have much time on the court in previous games will fight against ambitious opponents.”

Our team’s streak stands at 5 games. CSKA captain Victor Khryapa (right index finger) is the only player to definitely miss the game. Triumph has no injuries.
