Nymburk coach Michal Jezdik believes his team must win at home against BC Khimki on Wednesday night to stand a realistic chance of advancing to the next phase of the EuroCup.

The two sides have each won two of their opening three games in Group D, with the Russian outfit Khimki having prevailed in the first encounter between the two teams 101-90.

"I do not know why the draw of this competition finished like this," Jezdik said on www.idnes.cz.

"We will play a third game at home in a row. We have to win if we want to advance to another part of this competition, for sure.

"Our group is very tight but I expected that.

"All of our players are ready - including playmaker (Pavel) Benes who has been injured and Lithuanian center (Gintaris) Einikis, who did not play in the Czech league last weekend.

"I gave him a break because we need to concentrate on the FIBA Cup right now."
