In our previous meeting, Minsk residents lacked only a couple of effective attacks to win, the match ended with a score of 73:78. However, now PARMA is holding the last matches of the stage with a series of 4 consecutive victories over Astana, Enisey, Avtodor and one of the leaders of the season – UNICS. For Yevgeny Pashutin's wards, this will be the last away match of the first stage and it is obvious that the Permians will come to Minsk set up for another victory.
