Command Analysis

Ak Bars Kazan

Current form
Ak Bars continues its home series, which has so far shown mixed results. It started quite successfully, with a confident victory over an opponent of his level in the person of a Motorist (3:1). Goalkeeper Bilyalov showed an excellent game, and striker Barabanov scored a double and gave an assist. Together, this has brought success. However, the team was unable to continue to please the fans. In the match with Avangard, there were huge problems with the implementation of attacking chances, which led to a dry defeat (0:2). Of the 35 shots, none reached the target.
Next, the Leopards hosted Spartak Moscow and this time they could not hold back the pressure of their opponent, allowing him to score five goals. Ak Bars could not respond in kind and failed (3:5). Goalkeeper Miftakhov did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 86% of shots. Few people could have expected that the team would be able to so easily rehabilitate itself in front of the fans in a duel with the current leader of the Eastern Conference, defeating Traktor with a score of 6:2. It is difficult even to single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves by effective actions.
Disqualifications and injuries
Babenko and Evseev will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends

Vityaz

Current form
Vityaz has been in terrible shape for a long time, and the team's losing streak has reached five matches in a row. Nevertheless, the heroes found the strength to cope with the recession and began to steadily achieve success again. The team was able to break this long series of failures by playing away from Sochi, where they showed the most reliable defensive game and defeated the opponent dry with a score of 5:0. Almost all the players scored well, but the first star of the match was goalkeeper Kareev, who deflected 27 shots, thereby creating a shutout.
Returning to their home arena, Podolsk fought Siberia and were able to take advantage of the opponent's weak form, winning the second victory in a row (3:1). This time, the striker of the first team scored a double. It is worth noting that these victories no longer play any role, as the team has long lost all chances of reaching the playoffs and is simply playing out the rest of the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Chekhov and Gauthier are in Vityaz's infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Vityaz scores only 2.4 goals per match.
