Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg

Current form
Avtomobilist continues to perform with varying success, alternating victories with defeats. However, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the team consistently copes only with far from the most serious clubs in the league, and in matches with more powerful competitors it gets lost and suffers defeats. The team played an away series, in which after a rout from St. Petersburg SKA (2:5), they met with Vityaz and won a confident victory with a score of 3:1. They managed to achieve success due to the excellent play of goalkeeper Galkin, who reflected 96% of the shots. Returning to the home arena, the team fought with Moscow Dynamo and expectedly suffered a defeat (1:2). Once again, Avto had serious problems with the implementation of moments in attack, which has been happening throughout the season.
Then Zavarukhin charges went away again, where they still snatched victory in regulation time against Neftekhimik with an advantage of only one goal (3:2). This time, goalkeeper Alikin distinguished himself with an excellent game, thanks to which it was possible to avoid additional problems. In general, Avtomobilist is in optimal condition. Thanks to successful victories over outsiders, it maintains the second position in the Eastern Conference standings, having 24 points.

Traktor had a hard time earning points on the road, but now the team is back at home, where with the support of the fans it is showing itself in all its glory and should easily deal with Avtomobilist. As we have already noted, the Yekaterinburg team has serious problems in matches with the league leaders, which means that we should definitely not expect success from them in the upcoming match.
