The Real Madrid will visit Zenit Saint Petersburg today (6:00 p.m.) on day 28 of the Euroleague, who faces enraged after his defeat against bottom Khimki and aware that he must patch up that setback against a direct rival if he does not want to start complicating life in this regular phase.
The alarms have been completely lit in the white team after the unexpected disappointment against the last classified, a team evicted for weeks, which has caused them to fall to seventh place with a single victory ahead of Zalgiris Kaunas, ninth classified.
Among the teams that have overtaken him in the table is Zenit de Xavi Pascual, who knows that he faces an unbeatable opportunity to delve into the wound of a team that seems groggy due to the combination of injuries and poor results, specifically three defeats in the last four European days.
In addition, Pablo Laso and his pupils do not help the calendar either, since their next matches will be against the first two classified Barça and CSKA, which further increases the importance of the duel at the Sibur Arena, where Rudy Fernández and Sergio Llull will be injured again.
It is also more than Trey Thompkins involvement doubtful, who was already out against Khimki with a sprained ankle, same problem that Carlos Alocén drags, who played impaired on Tuesday and will repeat this against Zenit, a rival that has not yet beaten Real Madrid after two previous duels.
The Saint Petersburg team remains one of the surprises of the competition and occupies the fifth position despite defeats as notorious as the one he suffered last week against Valencia Basket (62-91). The former Barcelona player Kevin Pangos is the leading scorer of a team with several good connoisseurs of Spanish basketball. One of them, the ex-Madridista KC Rivers, he will lose it through injury like Arturas Gudaitis.
