Astana holds another away match within the VTB United League.

The current stop is Minsk. The club of the same name from Belarus was founded in 2006, and started in the VTB United League in the 2010/11 season, a year earlier than Astana. Since then, the Kazakh and Belarusian clubs have met each other 18 times, the score of personal meetings is 8:10 in favor of Minsk.

Now the opponent occupies the last place in the standings, but this does not mean that the fight will not be intense — the team beat Enisey and lost only 4 points in the first match against UNICS.

“Our team faced serious personnel problems before the previous match, but I hope that before this game everyone will return to the line and show an excellent game. It's nice that we're playing the final match this year at home, we'll try to give our fans a New Year's gift!” Minsk defender Vladislav Bliznyuk said before the match.

The match starts at 18:00 Astana time, the broadcast can be viewed on the club's official website.

Astana played another match on the road in the VTB United League.

The duel in Minsk against the team of the same name ended with the victory of the team of Oleg Kiselyov — 76:65.

The heroes of the match were Kwame Won (15 points), Valery Likhodey (14 points, 8 rebounds), Markell Johnson (13 points), and Daniil Aksenov (8 points, 5 assists). It is worth noting Michael Myers (13 points, 9 rebounds), recovered from an injury that forced him to miss previous games.

“Firstly, I would like to congratulate the opponent on a well-deserved victory. The game definitely was super important. But, unfortunately, Astana looked better today. There are many explanations, but I do not want to explore these nuances and difficulties. As for the game: 17 turnovers is too much for a match with a direct competitor, who, in my opinion, does not excel us in individual skill. Nothing changes: someone has to take responsibility and implement the attacks. 65 points for a positive result is too little. The level of the VTB United League shows that you need to consistently be able to score at least 75-80 points to compete for victories. Unfortunately, today we did not find a person who could consistently bring points to the team.” MINSK head coach Rostislav Vergun noted at a press conference.
 
Astana will play the following matches on December 28-29 at the home Saryarka cycle track, where Kostanay Tobol will arrive as part of the National League series.
