RUS vs MCD Dream11 Match Prediction

RUS vs MCD Dream11: EuroBasket 2007 champions Russia will be entertaining Macedonia at Perm, Molot Sports Hall on Sunday night (IST). Russia lost its opening EuroBasket qualification game 64-83 (24:26, 9:15, 18:21, 13:21) against Italy in Naples. Following that result, Russia finds themselves at the foot of its Group B.
Russia head-coach Sergei Bazarevich knows the importance of this game, for the next qualification matches will be played in November 2002, and Russia can’t afford to go into the next qualifications rounds while propping up the table.
Macedonia are also coming into this game with a defeat in their opening qualification game, as they were bettered by Estonia 72-81 in front of the home fans. They are ranked 53 in the world, while Russia are the ninth-best Men’s Basketball team in the world.

Russia team news:

• Russia and Zenit Saint Petersburg forward Vladislav Trushkin has joined the team in Perm to play against Macedonia. But his teammate at Zenit, Andrei Zubkov, is not with the Russia squad and will not be playing as a result.
• Russia announced an extended 24-man roster for the first EuroBasket qualification rounds but cut short to 12-man matchday roster for the opening game against Italy.
• CSKA Moscow big-man Joel Bolomboy was included in the final 12-man squad despite some fears due to an illness. He clocked 12 minutes in that game and so should be fine for this match as well.
