ZEN vs KB Dream11 Match Prediction
ZEN vs KB Dream11: Two teams struggling for consistency will lock horns when Zenit Saint Petersburg play host to Saski Baskonia in EuroLeague at Yubileyny Sports Palace on Wednesday night (IST).
Zenit are rock-bottom in EuroLeague standing coming into this game having won five times in 18 matches. However, of those five wins, three have come in the last six games. That shows that Zenit have a bit momentum.
Saski Baskonia, on the other hand, are one of the teams looking to make the cut into the postseason. They are within a manageable distance despite sitting 14th on the points table. The gap between Saski and top-8 will be only one game if they win this game, with a couple of results go in their favour.

Zenit Saint Petersburg team news: Zenit‘s season has gone from worse after their big man Gustavo Ayon suffered a hip injury in round-17. There’s no time table for his return, that means, he could be put for the whole season.
But the good news is that Andrey Zubkov is finally back to full fitness and will be lining up against Saski Baskonia.
Saski Baskonia team news: Saski Baskonia have had their own fair share of injury issues and are still dealing with the absence of some key players.
Patricio Garino is expected to miss the rest of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Jayson Granger is also missing until March due to an Achilles Heel’s injury.
In addition, Luca Vildoza has missed the last two matches with injury and remains doubtful for this game.
