Metallurg will host Khimik during the regular Extraliga season. Will the match be productive?
Metallurg
The two previous matches with Gomel turned out to be very difficult for Metallurg, and in none of them did he manage to get points. In both cases, he was very close to at least a draw, but lost twice with a score of 2-3. The team from Zhlobin approaches the reporting game with a series of three defeats, which took a 2-5 start from Lokomotiv from Orsha. Metallurg and Lokomotiv have 33 points each, but the team from Orsha is placed one line higher, on the sixth, because of the better difference between abandoned and missed goals (+17 vs. +5).
"Chemist"
Chemist is also outside the top 6, but is actively trying to rectify the situation, mainly winning. In the two previous matches, the club from Novopolotsk scored four points, coping with Lokomotiv from Orsha (twice 3-1). Before these victorias there was a defeat from Brest (0-3), which is the only one in the last six matches. If you look at the results of Chemist on a larger scale, it turns out that he won in eight of the previous ten games.
Statistics and figures:
- Metallurg has three losses in a row;
- Chemist has won in five of the last six matches;
- Metallurg won against Chemist in four previous matches.
Forecast
Although Metallurg has been losing a lot lately, he regularly throws, and mostly two goals or more. As for the "Chemist", he is stable and wins often. I think that in the reporting game it makes sense to put on high performance.
