Unison is playing in a new league this season and so far nothing has worked out in the VHL championship, and the club from the capital has no experience at this level. The season has not gone well at all. Unison is gradually getting used to a more powerful and forceful hockey, in recent games it has shown an uncertain game, and the roster is much weaker than its opponents. The team lost again in the last confrontation, and this defeat was the eighth in the last 10 matches.

Russian FederationCurrent form
The team from Voronezh has never won the Petrov Cup in its history, and has never reached the final. Last season, Buran managed to get into the playoffs and lost to Khimik Voskresensk in the 1/8 finals. In the current VHL championship, the "hurricanes" are showing a good game, fighting for the playoff zone and have already changed the head coach during the season. Before the away series of games, Buran played four home matches, where they won only one victory, beating Omskie Krylia (3:0). The Voronezh team fails in matches on away ice and has not been able to earn a single point in the past three games. In the last confrontation, the "hurricanes" lost in Moscow to Zvezda (2:3), and in the game before they were routed by the leader St. Petersburg Dynamo (2:8). Filipp Metlyuk charges are in 18th place in the standings, have won 18 victories in 39 games and have managed to score 107 goals.

In this confrontation, bookmakers put the guests as the favorites, and it is difficult to disagree with this.
