Neftyanik Almetyevsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
In order to get into the TOP-16 in the regular championship of the current season, Neftyanik needs to put in a lot of effort and start winning regularly, and not losing four games in a row. Artem Anisimov charges are playing much weaker than in the last championship, and they will not be able to defend the title this season. The club has suffered eight defeats in the last 10 games, and the team play is disgusting. The away series for Neftyanik is going poorly. If in the first meeting with the Barnaul team the game was equal and the winner was determined in a shootout, then in the two past games in Novokuznetsk and Krasnoyarsk the club lacked skill and persistence, and the opponents used their scoring chances and confidently won - 2:4 in both matches.
