Vityaz vs. Lada: KHL Match Prediction

Current form

Vityaz has played all of its matches in the new season at home, where it has had mixed success. After a less than successful start and a defeat to Admiral (2:3), the team doubled its points, first beating Amur dry, and then snatching victory from Sochi (5:4). In the match with the Leopards, Pavel Desyatkov's charges earned a huge advantage in the first period, but almost allowed their opponent to tie the score due to poor defensive play, which was the club's main problem last season.

Then the "bogatyrs" played against a more serious opponent, in the person of Minsk "Dynamo", and again were unable to stop the opponent's pressure, suffering a defeat with a score of 1:5. Goalkeeper Dorozhko did not play at his best, and he had to be replaced in the first period, after three goals were missed. Initially, it seemed that "Vityaz" was able to seriously work on defense and would stop letting in a huge number of goals from match to match, but it seems that expectations were not met.

Injuries and disqualifications

Vashchenko (injury), Stewart (injury), Galuzin (injury).

Interesting trends for betting

• Vityaz concedes an average of three goals per match.

At the beginning of the season, Vityaz consistently held off the opponent's pressure, but now the team is completely unable to cope with the opponent's attack, allowing them to make effective shots at their goal time after time.

• In the match with Dynamo, the Podolsk team was sent off nine times

Vityaz has stopped playing reliable and accurate hockey and now consistently violates the rules, which is breaking the structure of the club's game.

Estimated composition

Shikin, Dorozhko, Golovkov, Busygin, Valentsov, Malorosiyanov, Stewart, Voronkov, Vasiliev, Roy, Galuzin, Yarovoy, Zubov, Savchik, Gautier, Buchelnikov, Chivilev, Daryin, Baptist, Vorobiev, Tsitsyura, Arkalov, Morozov, Detkov.
