BC Lokomotiv-Kuban will host the leader of the VTB United League, CSKA Moscow today

The basketball players of the Kuban “Lokomotiv” today, January 13, will again have to fight against the leader of the championship – the Moscow army team. Zheleznodorozhniki currently share third place in the standings with Zenit from St. Petersburg.

CSKA has not been able to beat Loko for three matches. Moreover, the last victory of the “red-greens” over the “red-blues” dates back to November 12 last year. Then the Kuban “locomotive” interrupted the Muscovites’ nine-match winning streak at the start of the season and did it on the court of the most titled team in Russian basketball.

Krasnodar head coach Alexander Sekulich noted that there was no point in singling out anyone from the opponent’s camp. CSKA has a good and balanced squad. However, Kuban basketball players also have something to oppose to their eminent opponent.

— The opponent is going to Krasnodar very motivated, so each player will try to demonstrate their maximum. But we will be ready for this. Playing against the army team is always a special challenge for us and additional motivation for the fans. The support of our “sixth player” will be very important for us tomorrow,” said the head coach of the “railroad workers” to the club press.

The starting whistle in the Krasnodar Basket Hall will sound today at 14:30.
