In the opening match of the game day of the VHL championship, Ermak and Chemist will meet. The game will be held on January 25 at 14:00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this exciting game for you.
"Ermak"
The outright outsider of the league is Ermak. The club does not have great financial opportunities, therefore, it completes the composition of mediocre hockey players and several dedicated players from Avangard. The results of "Ermak" this season are not impressive, the team is at the bottom of the standings, and now it gives out a series of defeats. In the last meeting, Ermak lost at home to HC Ryazan with a score of 2:3.
"Chemist"
Chemist is performing well this season and is in the playoff zone. The team from Voskresensk plays defensively and misses very little. Sometimes Chemist loses key players, giving them to Spartak, but replenishment from the Moscow team often comes. Recently, the team has not had stability, alternating wins and losses, but in the last meeting they were able to beat on the road with a score of 2:4.
Statistics and figures:
- The last match between these teams ended with the victory of "Chemist" 4:3.
- Chemist has lost only twice in its last five games.
- Ermak has a bad streak of five consecutive defeats.
Forecast
The obvious favorite in this confrontation looks like "Chemist", which has a stronger and more experienced team, although it is in bad shape. Ermak has been looking bad lately, especially in attack, and in general it often loses. I think we will have a bright and scoring match.
