Tomorrow, February 3rd, Zenit’s second team will face Ufa Dynamo at home. The game will start at 19:00. This is a contest in the 17th round of the FONBET Super League regular season. We invite all fans to come to the Basketball Academy (Severnaya Road, 12) and cheer on the Blue-White-Sky Blues against one of the league’s leading teams.
Dynamo come into this match on the back of a six-game unbeaten run and currently sit fourth in the table. Zenit-2, on the other hand, has not been able to win consecutive games in the Super League for several months, and its form has fluctuated greatly. Sometimes it performs well and sometimes it is unsatisfactory. With two games less than Ufa’s side, the team coached by Oliver Popović is currently in ninth place with a record of 8 wins and 8 losses.
In the visiting team, Andrey Toptunov is undoubtedly the core of scoring and organizing offense. The 23-year-old point guard averaged 15.3 points (second-highest in the league) and 2.9 assists in 28 minutes per game.
Dynamo’s mainstays in rebounding are new players Oleg Akramov (7.0 rebounds per game) who joined from Uralmash in the winter, and Semen Medvedev (6.3 rebounds per game, 2.0 blocks per game), who currently leads the FONBET Super League’s blocks list.
This game will be only the second direct confrontation between the two sides in history. In the first round at Ufa, the Blue-White-Sky Blues unfortunately lost at the last moment, with a score of 75:77.
Before the game, Zenit-2 Defender Ilyas Abdul Shared his expectations for the game:
The opponent is one of the strongest teams in the Super League. They are on a winning streak and are in the top four. This will be a very tough and challenging game. As can be seen from the last match, Dynamo maintained a high level of play throughout the 40 minutes. Although we were ahead for a while, they finally withstood the pressure. So we must not relax and must remain highly focused from beginning to end. Of course, the support of the home crowd and fans will help us. We really look forward to seeing you all at the competition!
The live broadcast of this game will be carried out through the official website of the Russian Basketball Federation.
