In the central match of the game day in the KHL there will be a bright and very intriguing confrontation, "Tractor" will take "Motorist". The start of the game of these teams is scheduled for October 22 at 17:00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for the outcome of this meeting for you.
"Tractor"
After a serious strengthening in the summer, Tractor looks confident from the start of the season, and in recent fights it has given out a series of victories at all, showing a well-coordinated and bright attacking hockey. Only in the last match the Chelyabinsk team failed, unexpectedly losing to Salavat Yulaev with a score of 1:6. The defense of the Tractor could not withstand the onslaught of the first link of the Ufa, but that is rather an exception to the rule of a reliable game in defense.
"Motorist"
In the off-season, the team has strengthened quite strongly at the expense of experienced veterans and added depth to the squad at the expense of young people, which has already borne fruit. The team failed to start the championship, but in the last matches they managed to adjust the game and start winning. This was how Jokerit and Neftekhimik and even Salavat Yulaev were beaten, and in the last meeting, in a hard struggle, Avtomobilist beat Sochi 6-7 on the road.

Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this game. "Tractor" has now scored a good move and looks extremely confident in all games, having issued a series of victories. In turn, the "Motorist" in recent meetings slowed down and began to lose. I think Traktor will be able to win on its own site and correct itself for the failure in the last game.
