KRASNOYARSK (Interstat) — CSKA Moscow will try to build on its strong start on Saturday when it visits Enisey Krasnoyarsk at Ivan Yarygin Sports Palace.

CSKA Moscow enters the matchup with a 6-1 record. Its most recent result was a 103-88 road win over Dynamo Vladivostok. The Moscow club has also posted wins over Lokomotiv Kuban, Uralmash, MBA Moscow, UNICS Kazan and Igokea this season. Its lone loss came against Lokomotiv Kuban. CSKA has been especially effective at home, but it showed in its latest game that it can score on the road as well. The team has reached the 90-point mark in several games, including a 92-81 victory over Igokea and a 90-85 win against Uralmash. CSKA also won a close home game against Lokomotiv Kuban, 87-84, after previously falling to Lokomotiv Kuban 90-82. That mix of high-scoring wins and a narrow defeat has kept CSKA near the top of the early standings.

Enisey Krasnoyarsk is 1-2 and will look to use its home court against the league power. The Krasnoyarsk club is coming off a 91-70 home win over Samara, its first victory of the season. Before that, Enisey opened with an 81-66 loss at Lokomotiv Kuban and a 74-72 home loss to Avtodor Saratov. The win over Samara gave Enisey a needed boost, and the team will try to carry that momentum into Saturday’s contest. Enisey has shown it can compete at home, but it faces a significant step up in competition against CSKA Moscow.

The game is scheduled for Saturday at Ivan Yarygin Sports Palace. CSKA Moscow will aim to avoid a road letdown and keep pace near the top of the standings. Enisey Krasnoyarsk will seek a second straight win and a notable home result. CSKA enters with the stronger record, while Enisey will rely on its home court and recent victory. The matchup gives Enisey a chance to measure itself against one of the strongest teams in the league, while CSKA will try to maintain its momentum before returning to a busy stretch of games.

After Saturday, CSKA Moscow will continue its schedule with upcoming games at home and on the road. Enisey Krasnoyarsk will also remain in regular-season action, with future games at Ivan Yarygin Sports Palace and away from home. Both teams will look to build rhythm as the season progresses.
