CSKA’s way on the Superleague schedule led our team to St. Petersburg. The team will face Spartak which owns the last in the standings but continues to improve.
Red-blues flew to the northern capitol by Transaero regular flight and accommodated in the hotel late in the night. Away roster is identical to those in Kaunas – Artem Zabelin replaces Victor Keyru (back) in the dozen of players.
“Spartak improved a lot after the New Year, they started to play more aggressively, - CSKA head coach Evgeny Pashutin said. Their results are speaking for themselves: the team defeated Enisey in Krasnoyarsk, pushed Khimki to overtime and had a chance to win. Surely, home court will be a factor for them. We are preparing very seriously and we expect to have very intensive, tense game on the edge of foul.”
