Another bet which I like.
Spartak playing good basketball recently, even without their leader PG Alexander Gruev (14.7PPG & 5.1APG). He has played only 14 games this season, so Spartak are kind of used with this fact.
It is still unclear if he will be playing today, probably no.
They were robbed last match against Rilski, leading with 1 point 3 seconds to go, the referee called non-existing foul and Rilski won with 1 in the end. It is important to note that Spartak were +16 points under dog this match... while their previous match (again +16 point dog) they won against Beroe, in Stara Zagora.
Lukoil is waiting for the end of the regular season - most of the players are looking very bored, playing without any desire..
On top of this, they are coming to Pleven today without two of their most convertible players - Hristo Zahariev (9.9PPG), Pavlin Ivanov (11.7PPG) and also w/o Kris Minkov (just 3.3PPG this season, but part of the rotation).
They lost last round against Yambol - the 2nd most crap team in the league. This shows for me how much this team is playing without desire.
Now they are guest to one team which is finding at very good form recently.
Lets also not forget that Spartak already beated Lukoil in Pleven, where Lukoil was playing on full gears and where the referees were supporting Lukoil so much.
Spartak to cover and eventually pull the trigger over Lukoil.
