Spartak
Last season, the Muscovites managed to jump into the playoff zone, but it was impossible to advance further than the first round in the series against CSKA. In the off-season, there was a personnel purge, several interesting performers were signed to the team, among them experienced Loktionov and Kugryshev. After a confident start, the team began to slow down, losing in previous meetings at home to SKA and CSKA, but now the modest Dynamo Riga in the last game, the Muscovites beat without problems with a score of 3: 1
Avangard
After the outflow of a large number of players in the off-season, the management tried to replace the leaders, but there were no high-profile signings, it is worth noting only the legionnaire from Sweden Tseglarik, who shows a fantastic game in the opening matches of the championship. Recently, Omsk has sunk a little and suffered a number of offensive defeats, but in the last meeting they interrupted a series of failures with a victory over Avtomobilist with a score of 1:3.

Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this confrontation, because both teams do not have stability. The guests ' team is only being built, although it looks very confident in some meetings. Spartak routinely beats outsiders, but Muscovites have not learned how to score points with the favorites. I think the guests will leave with a victory.
