BCK vs BEL Dream11: BCK Khimki will be playing host to Crvena Zvezda at Mytishchi Arena in EuroLeague round-24 on Friday night. Khimki are well aware of their precarious position on the table. They are down at 13th and face a two-game deficit in the playoff race. That gap is very much bridgeable, considering 11 matches still remain, including this game. But they have to win and win more than the teams sitting above them, and must out win a total of five teams. They dropped the last two games coming into this matchup. Crvena Zvezda, on the other hand, are enjoying a better view on the table at the moment, for they are 10th and within one game of catching 8th placed Valencia Basket. More importantly, the visitors will be relatively more confident after snapping up their three-game skid with a 78-73 win over Panathinaikos in the last round.
Head-to-head:
This will be the 5th time since 2000 that these two teams are facing each other in the EuroLeague. BCK Khimki lead the head-to-head record with 3 wins and also winning the last two.
