ZEN vs KB Dream11: Despite carrying the high-profile tag, Zenit Saint-Petersburg have failed to live up to the expectations this season. They are, in fact, the worst team in EuroLeague, propping up the table heading into this game with a meagre 5 wins to show for the efforts. That said, they are still in the playoff fight. It may seem a tad far-fetched and a bit surreal for the fans, but mathematically it’s still possible. All they need is a good run. It’s simple in words, of course. But the whole season’s inconsistency can’t be exorcised, or need great efforts. Can they do it? Their opponents are Saski Baskonia, who sit four places and two wins clear of Zenit Saint Petersburg ahead of his game. They have won just once in the last five games and can do with a win in this game.
Head-to-head:
Saski Baskonia won the only meeting between these two teams.
