In the next match, Avangard will host Neftekhimik. The game will take place on November 30 at 19:30 Moscow time at the Balashikha Arena. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this game for you.
"Avangard"
Several excellent signings in the offseason gave Avangard momentum and a series of victories at the start, but after that reliability and self-confidence began to disappear, defeats began. Recently, the Omsk team managed to adjust the game and give out a series of victories on their own court, but on the road the team looked less confident and lost to the modest Admiral and Siberia.
Neftekhimik
After a confident start, the team began to slow down, frequent defeats came. Recently, Nizhnekamsk managed to adjust the game and give out several victories, feeling confident in their abilities. The series was interrupted recently by a defeat from SKA, after which, also in the last match at home, it was possible not to lose in the main time to AK Bars, but in the shootout series Kazan turned out to be stronger.
