The team will miss Pavel Korobkov (knee surgery). Ivan Lazarev who missed previous game due to sprained ankle remains questionable.
“Krasny Oktyabr have changed drastically since we met on our court earlier this season,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “They have new foreigners, new Russian players. As usually, we approach the game very seriously because we respect the opponents, the game, the competition and ourselves.”
