"Sochi"
The Sochi players started confidently in the championship and won several victories, but after that the team began to slowly lose momentum in defense and began to lose often. Now the Sochi team's series of failures looks depressing at all, the team loses in almost all matches in a row, while showing a weak game. So in the last match, Sochi lost on the road to Tractor with a score of 4:2.
"Avangard"
This season, the team has no stability, which is due to an updated squad and a weakened offensive line, compared to last season. "Avangard" has no stability and alternates failed and successful segments. Recently, the game began to improve, Omsk gave out a good home series, and the last victim of the "hawks" was "Siberia".

Forecast
Avangard looks like a clear favorite in this game, which has a stronger squad and is now in great shape. Sochi is clearly failing now, especially defensively and rarely wins. Omsk were able to beat this opponent at home and, I think, will be able to repeat the success on the road.
