BCK vs ZEN Dream11 Match Prediction

 

BCK vs ZEN Dream11: Having lost the last two games, in Europe, BCK Khimki will be looking to return to winning ways when they play host to fellow Russian side Zenit Saint Petersburg in round-18 of EuroLeague at Khimki Basketball Centre.
It has been a season to forget for the Russian giant Zenit, who are propping up the table as things stand in EuroLeague. Even in the domestic campaign, in VTB United League, Zenit are down at 6th, two-game behind 3rd placed Lokomotiv Kuban. They dropped the last two games in EuroLeague, and four times in the last five games.
Khimki, on the other hand, are 9th in EuroLeague, level on wins with 8th placed Crvena Zvezda, with only the points difference keeping them away from top-8.
