Astana will play another away match within the VTB United League in Perm, where it will meet with PARMA-PARI.

Despite the fact that today's opponent performs quite well in the League (6 wins, 10 losses, 7th place in the table), so far in the statistics of face-to-face meetings, Astana is historically leading — 7:5 in favor of the Kazakh club.

The previous time the teams met in October at the Saryarka cycling track, and it was then that Oleg Kiselev's team opened the scoring for this VTB United League season (84:72). At the same time, the Permians subsequently had several good matches, including victories over MBA and Paris Nizhny Novgorod.

Perm is well known to the forward of the capital team Valery Likhodey, who played here before moving to Astana. After the home victory, he noted that it was very pleasant to win against the former team.

PARMA-PARI is a strong opponent for us. But as the home game showed, they are too tough for us. Our team is improving from game to game. We will do our best to please our fans with another victory,” said Roman Marchuk, a basketball player of Astana, before today's game.

Whether it will be possible to repeat the October success on the opponent's territory, we will find out very soon — the match starts at 18:00 Astana time. You can watch the game on our website.

Astana played another match on the road in the VTB United League — this time in Perm.

Despite the fact that the first game between the capital team and PARMA-PARI this season ended with the victory of Oleg Kiselev's team, the competition was challenging; as the coach of Astana emphasized before the game, the support of Perm's fans would be very helpful for rivals.

So it happened this time. Despite the fact that throughout almost the entire game, the teams fought hard, the final score was 94:74 in favour of the hosts. Undoubtedly, the absence of Mike Myers from the roster also affected the outcome — the American centre was injured and stayed in Kazakhstan.

Astana scored Daniil Aksenov (23 points, 7 rebounds), Kwame Won (15 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds), Valery Likhodey (13 points), Dmitry Gavrilov (10 points).
 
«I want to congratulate everyone on the victory and thank the fans for their support! Incredible atmosphere, especially when we started going neck to neck. There was a lot of physical struggle on every centimetre of the court, a lot of contact and fouls. Unfortunately, we have one ejection, and I hope Malik can play in the next game. In our previous match with Astana, there was the same tough fight, but we could not find an answer. Today in the «Molot» the guys had an advantage in physical strength, in mentality, won the rebound and played like warriors. Now the most important thing is to recover and prepare for Loko.» - PARMA-PARI head coach Evgeny Pashutin said after the game.

The next match Astana will play at home on December 22, the opponent will be UNICS Kazan.
