Lokomotiv Kuban

Current form
Lokomotiv-Kuban does not have the easiest calendar. In March, Andrey Vedishchev's team plays with all the main rivals, and they don't always do it successfully. Defeats from Zenit and CSKA are understandable, but the misfire in the confrontation with Uralmash does not go through any gates.
In the standings, the team from Krasnodar is on the fourth line. It is unlikely to be possible to catch up with the Big Three, because the gap from UNICS is four wins. However, Andrey Vedishchev's wards will definitely try to beat their main rival.

Lokomotiv Kuban plays in the style of early n' gang. Krasnodar does not pay much attention to defense and focuses on attack. Because of this, their fights are effective. For example, in the confrontation with CSKA, more than 200 points were scored. UNICS only has it on hand. We believe that Perasovich's team will support their opponent and put on a real show. In this case, there is a high probability that the 170.5 point mark will still fall.
