As part of the first play-off match for the right to play in the RPL, the players of SKA Khabarovsk and Khimki will come face to face. Which of the rivals will get the victory in this meeting? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
SKA-Khabarovsk
The Far Easterners were able to become fourth in the FNL at the end of last season. The team got its place in the play-offs, and gets a real chance to return to the RPL. As part of the match of the last round of the best league in the world, the Army men from Khabarovsk lost to Akron with a score of 0:3 on their field, showing football of not the best quality. It is worth noting that, as a rule, SKA looks and plays great on its field, and therefore will try to win in the upcoming confrontation.
Khimki
As for the residents of Khimki, this team also does not look the best at the finish of the season. After a qualitative leap up the tournament ladder, Sergey Yuran's team was waiting for a clear decline, which led the club to a place in the zone of transitional duels. It is worth noting that the "red-black" simply did not have enough rounds to catch up with the "Ural", which, on the contrary, managed to get victories in those games where it was needed, and managed to escape from a possible demotion in the class.
Statistics and figures:
- Khimki is the favorite of the meeting;
- SKA has 3 wins in 5 games;
- Khimki lost twice in 5 matches;
- The last face–to-face meeting of the opponents ended in a draw - 1:1.
Forecast
We assume that the Khabarovsk team will not lose in this meeting. On her own field, she will play as powerfully as possible, which will allow her to cling to at least a draw. Khimki often stumbled at the end of the season, and this meeting will not be an exception to the rules.
