Command Analysis
Neftyanik Almetyevsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Last season, Neftyanik managed to become the VHL champion, but it is unlikely to defend this trophy, because now the club from Almetyevsk is in the lower half of the tournament table. Representatives of Tatarstan occupy only 23rd place in the ranking and are already six points behind the top 16. Artem Anisimov charges showed a disgusting game in the away series of games, where they were unable to earn a single point and scored only six goals. It all started with a defeat in Chelyabinsk from Chelmet (1:2), then the club went to Verkhnyaya Pyshma and turned out to be weaker than Gornyak-UGMK (1:5), breaking the entire game plan developed by the coaching staff. After that, the team was unable to cope with Magnitka in Magnitogorsk (1:4), and in the last confrontation they fought in Orsk with Yuzhny Ural and suffered a 3:4 defeat. The losing streak was broken only after returning to the home arena - the club managed to win at home against Chelmet.
