KB vs MOS Dream11 Match Prediction
KB vs MOS Dream11: Saski Baskonia will look to end its two-game skid in the EuroLeague as the defending champions CSKA Moscow pay them a visit for a round-9 matchup at Fernando Buesa Arena.
Baskonia have lost twice in the last three and three times in the last four games in Europe, but they are 2-1 in home games this season. A cause for hope for them, but the challenge in the next game is as big as it can get for any team in Europe, and all the players and even the staff members on the touchline need to be at their best.
That said, CSKA Moscow may boast the best profile amongst the Basketball teams in EuroLeague and are the reigning champions of Europe, but no team is perfect. Not on all days. And a few teams took advantage of CSKA’s rare off days, but more importantly for the hosts, the two defeats Moscow team suffered this season in Europe, came in the last four games.
Still, Moscow remains the team to beat in Europe. The champions may come into this game with the extra motivation of reclaiming the top-spot back as a win will take them to the very top in EuroLeague.
Head-to-head:
CSKA holds the 30-9 advantage over Saski Baskonia in EuroLeague matchups. Both the teams split up the last season’s regular-season series before CSKA got the better of Baskonia 3-1 in the playoffs.
In perhaps one of the biggest shocking results in the history of EuroLeague, Saski Baskonia beat CSKA in the 2005 semifinals. CSKA avenged that defeat three years later when the Moscow side beat Baskonia 79-83 in the EuroLeague semifinals in 2008.
