MOS vs ZEN Dream11: Having lost at home in the last round, defending champions CSKA Moscow will look to return to winning ways when they play fellow Russian side Zenit Saint Petersburg in round-27 of EuroLeague at Megasport Sport Palace on Tuesday night (IST). That defeat came against Barcelona, third for them in the last four games. That patchy run of form has yanked them down to 5th on current EuroLeague table, and though they remain well in a position to qualify for the playoffs, it’s that stage of the season when every team can do with some momentum.
Zenit Saint Petersburg, on the other hand, are hauling down at the foot of the table, with a meagre 7-19 return on the season. With only 8 games remaining on the current season, and the team facing a five-game deficit in the playoff race, things are certainly out of their hands. That said, mathematically it’s still possible, and all they need is to win games.
Head-to-head:
Despite both the teams playing in the same domestic league, the reverse fixture was the only instance that these two teams faced each other in EuroLeague. Moscow won that game 87-72.
