Metallurg Novokuznetsk
The team from Novokuznetsk has a fairly strong composition, which allows them to win regularly and stay in the leading group in the standings. The team should definitely go to the playoffs, and there are good chances to go as far as possible on the experience. Recently, the team has given out a series of victories, which was interrupted in the last match by a defeat from Dynamo.
HC "Ryazan"
HC Ryazan is failing the season, showing a weak defensive game, because it is at the bottom of the table and has almost no chance of getting into the playoffs. The team has a very weak composition, and all significant leaders are immediately taken to the KHL. Recently, Ryazan residents have completely failed, having given out a series of defeats, but recently they managed to get away victories over Ermak and Omsk Wings.
Statistics and figures:
- The last match between these teams ended with the victory of Metallurg 2:5.
- Metallurg has lost only twice in its last five games.
- HC Ryazan has a good streak of two consecutive wins on the road.
Forecast
The hosts look like the favorite in this confrontation. HC Ryazan has been looking good lately, especially in attack, but Metallurg has a stronger selection of performers and is able to defend efficiently and reliably. I think the hosts will get maximum points here without any problems.
