Vityaz will continue its next home series with a match against a difficult opponent, Siberia will come to Podolsk. The game will take place on October 18 at 19:30 Moscow time at the Vityaz Arena. Our portal also offers you its own version of the forecast for this game.
"Vityaz"
Since the new season, the team has been headed by Yuri Babenko, but so far the coach has not been able to build a team. After a good start, the team issued a protracted series of failures, which was interrupted only for a few fights and continued again. Huge problems in defense do not allow the team to consistently score points. In the last match, they lost at home even to the modest Riga Dynamo 3:4.
"Siberia"
In the offseason, the team received reinforcement in the form of Shore and Vedin, but newcomers are unlikely to be able to replace the departed stars. The team has noticeably sagged in performance skills and has no stability this season, which does not allow us to jump into the playoff zone. In the last match, Siberia could not do anything with Avangard on the road and lost with a score of 4:3, prolonging a series of failures.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
-
Vityaz - Semin (injury unknown), Kemilainen (upper body injury).
"Siberia" - Komarov (injury).
Statistics and figures:
- The last match between these teams ended with the victory of "Siberia" 2:1.
- Vityaz has a terrible series of seven consecutive defeats.
- In their last five meetings, Siberia has won only twice.
Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this game, because both teams do not have stability and are now in bad shape. The hosts have a game crisis this season, so they can't compete with the strongest teams in the league yet. "Siberia" was able to defeat this opponent at home. I think the players of the Novosibirsk team will also be able to get maximum points on the road.
