UNICS Kazan Team News
UNICS from Kazan had a tough job until the grand final; as things stand, it will be the same in the grand final.
In the quarterfinals, UNICS easily came out with Parma and ended up winning with a final score of 3-0 in the series, but only in the next round did the real drama begin.
After eliminating Parma, UNICS scheduled a semifinal with one of the biggest Russian teams, Zenit.
The semifinal exceeded all possible expectations, and for neutral basketball fans, it was a real treat because we saw everything possible in that playoff series.
UNICS took a 2-0 lead in the series and made the most of their home field, but Zenit responded with 2 wins on their floor, and then in the next two duels, both teams successfully defended one game each in their hall and thus canceled the master or you match number 7.
UNICS was the host, and that game was uncertain until the last second. In the end, the team from Kazan won 80-79 and scheduled the final with Lokomotiv.
The final series did not start well for the team from Kazan, and now the rival has a 1-0 advantage in the grand final of the VTB League.

As with the second semi-final pair, the last game was a real thriller, but in the end, Lokomotiv won 103:100 after extra time.

UNICS Kazan vs Lokomotiv Kuban Prediction
Lokomotiv Kuban showed that it could play with everyone, even if it mainly were an outsider in the bookies.
UNICS has a better team; however, the momentum is on the visitors’ side. 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.
