Igor Kokoskov: Zenit St. Petersburg is a very good team and lately they are playing very well. They had important wins and having a great momentum. We will face a team with a very deep roster and veteran players. I think Xavi Pascual is also doing a very good job as a veteran EuroLeague coach, who is in his second year with Zenit. He is leaving his marks with this organization. We know that it is a quite challenging situation for us. We have to focus on our game first.

Kenan Sipahi: We are playing against a good and an organized team in our tough schedule. Unfortunately, we have injured players but I believe that we will not repeat the mistakes that we have made in our recent games. We need to be more focused. Defense will be key to win here. We have matchups that we can prevail over our opponent. We need to focus on these and we need to implement the plan of our coaches on the court.
