Lokomotiv Kuban Team News
Lokomotiv did more than expected this season, but the team is now in a great situation. They will be able to take a huge step towards winning the VTB title, the first in the club’s history, in their stadium.
In the quarter-finals, the team from Krasnodar did not have a difficult task. However, in the semi-finals, they went to the feet of the giant from Moscow. They managed to celebrate after a very dramatic series with a score of 4:3 and thus created a big sensation, leaving CSKA without their first missed final since there was a VTB league.
Lokomotiva did not stop there. They opened the final series well and won the first break on the away court. In the second game, UNICS celebrated. However, Lokomotiva dominated the greater period of the match, but UNICS eventually rallied and won in an uncertain ending.
UNICS Kazan Team News
UNICS had an almost identical path to the finals as Lokomotiv. In the quarter-finals, they easily defeated Parma. However, in the semi-finals, there was real drama and a celebration after winning the series 4-3 against Zenit.
In the final match against Lokomotiva, UNICS entered as the favored team. However, it was already seen in the first match that it would not be easy.
UNICS looked hopeless in the first game. The rival dominated and, in the end, won routinely and deservedly.
The next game, as was expected, brought much more uncertainty, UNICS played quite badly in the first half, but in the second, they showed a much better game, above all defensively, and in the end, they won in an uncertain ending from the free throw line.
The team from Kazan did not fully defend the home field, they allowed the rival a break, and now the series moves to Krasnodar, where the next two matches will be played.

Lokomotiv Kuban vs UNICS Kazan Prediction
Lokomotiv Kuban showed that it could play with everyone, even as outsider.
UNICS has a better team. However, the momentum is on the side of the visitors. You should consider that the team from Kuban has very little contribution from the bench, so the starters get huge minutes, so fatigue can be one of the key factors in this final.
We will go back to Lokomotiv once again. Our pick is that they will win or not lose by more than 7 points.
