The situation in Group G is quite clear – Lokomotiv Kuban and Budućnost VOLI have already booked their tickets for the next phase of EuroCup, while Cedevita and Trento will end their European journey with the end of TOP 16 stage.
Still, there is also a matter of who will win the 1st place in the group, while the upcoming duel between Lomomotiv Kuban and Budućnost VOLI will decide many things in that race. In the 1st part of the season, Lokomotiv Kuban defeated Budućnost VOLI in Podgorica by 68:62, so the boys coached by Aleksandar Džikić now need to win the match in Russia by 7+ points in order to take over the top spot in Group G.
Cedevita will host Trento in the match which has no importance in the battle for the next stage. Still, the Orange crew from Zagreb will try to use this game to bounce back on their feet after suffering two defeats in a row, counting ABA League and EuroCup.
EuroCup Top 16 Group G, Round 5, Wednesday, 31.1.2018:
Lokomotiv Kuban – Budućnost VOLI (18:30)
Cedevita – Trento (20:15)
