Neftyanik Almetyevsk
The club from Almetyevsk is exceptionally winning on its ice in the current series. The team beat Zauralie on the home court — 5:4 FROM and 6:2. If Neftyanik beats the opponent at home again, it will go through to the next round of the Petrov Cup. The most productive player in the club from Almetyevsk is Semyon Terekhov, who scored 10 points. He scored four goals and provided six assists.
"Trans-Urals"
On March 20, the Kurgan club beat the opponent with a score of 4:2 and thereby reduced the gap in the series to a minimum (2-3). Alexey Bogdanov, Roman Chemerikin and Pavel Tyutnev scored goals for the winners (twice). Despite this, the "Trans-Urals" still has no room for error. Any defeat in the remaining matches of the series will leave the team without a semi-final of the Petrov Cup.
Statistics and figures:
- Neftyanik is the favorite of the upcoming match according to bookmakers.
- "Trans—Urals" has won 20 victories in the last 39 face-to-face meetings, the opponent - 19.
