UNICS vs CSKA Moscow prediction

Velimir Perasovic's squad confidently swept MBA in the first playoff round with a convincing 3:0, experiencing no difficulties whatsoever. However, the semifinal clash against St. Petersburg's Zenit turned out to be a dramatic rollercoaster. After clinching victory in the opening overtime game (107:104), the Kazan team suffered three consecutive losses, and it seemed as though the finals would proceed without their involvement. Yet, displaying remarkable resilience, the UNICS athletes won the next three encounters, leaving their opponents out of the final tournament clash.

Facing off against CSKA is naturally challenging, and the team lost the first two away games by significant margins (63:91 and 89:102). Admittedly, playing on their home court should ease the task a bit, especially since they've secured 8 victories in their last 9 home games, although the opposing teams were notably weaker.

Andreas Pistiolis and his players appear to have everything under firm control. The team breezed past Krasnoyarsk's Enisey in the first round (3:0) and subsequently took down Krasnodar's Lokomotiv, though they did lose the first game in overtime (88:97). Following that initial setback, they faced little resistance from the opponent, consistently winning by at least a 10-point margin.

As for the finals, the Army team is showcasing outstanding offensive skills, scoring over 90 points in each game and beating UNICS in the first match by a 28-point lead and the second by 13 points. So, even if there are hiccups during their away games, they might only be minor, especially considering their flawless away record throughout the playoffs.
