Lokomotiv Kuban Team News
After the semi-final drama and the colossal feat of knocking out the giants from Moscow, Lokomotiv scheduled the final with the team from Kazan.
The grand final started perfectly for Lokomotiva, they broke the side, and things seemed to be going in the right direction for the Krasnodar side.
However, Lokomotiv first lost the second match in Kazan, and if they had everything in their hands for a large part of the game, the last quarter was fatal for Aleksander Sekulić’s team.
Game number three brought an identical situation, Lokomotiv controlled the game and led for three quarters, but again an incomprehensible fall in the last quarter, above all in the attack that completely stopped, the result was the victory of the guests and the return of the break for 1-2 in the series.
UNICS Kazan Team News
UNICS had an almost identical path to the finals as Lokomotiva.
After the excellent semi-final drama against Zenit and the victory in the master’s match, they scheduled the final with Lokomotiv.
The final series did not start as many expected for the team from Kazan.
They lost the first game at home but won the next two and completely reversed the result.
Interestingly, in all three games so far, they chased the result for most of the game, but the top defense in the last quarter and a solid attack brought two significant victories, even if they had a lot of problems in general.
Certainly, the key problem of the team is the short rotation, so the ups and downs during the game are an integral part of the team, and it is a double-edged sword. Sometimes it is a good thing, but sometimes it is a serious problem both because of fatigue and the lack of quality contribution from the bench.
It must be admitted that the team from Kazan had a lot of luck in the endings of the previous two duels, but in the end, only the victory is remembered, so UNICS now has a 2-1 advantage in the final series.

Lokomotiv Kuban vs UNICS Kazan Prediction
Looking at things in general in the three duels so far, we get the impression that Lokomotiv Kuban showed much more, even if they had incomprehensible falls in the last quarters.
The team from Kuban dominated most of the game in all three duels so far. Our opinion is that they are the better team at the moment and that sports justice will be served.
We believe that Lokomotiva has a great chance to return the final series to the very beginning in front of its audience.
