RUS vs MCD Dream11 Match Prediction

 

RUS vs MCD Dream11: Having lost the opening game, Russia will be targetting an immediate return to winning ways when they play Macedonia in EuroBasket qualification round-2 match at Perm, Molot Sports Hall on Sunday night (IST).
The 2007 EuroBasket champions came unstuck against the Italians in Napels, losing 83-64 in a rather surprising one-sided game. Italy now leads the Group B after that win, while Estonia are second, followed by Macedonia in third while Russia are propping up the table. Russia head-coach Sergei Bazarevich will be under no illusion that another negative result could threaten his own position with this team.
Macedonia also stared their EuroBasket qualification on a bad run after dropping the match 72-81 against Estonia, and the worse was that they lost at home. They are certainly the underdog in his game and it will be nothing short of a shock if they come out of this game with a win.
