In the final match of the game day of the VHL playoffs, SKA-Neva and Neftyanik will meet. The game will be held on February 23 at 17:00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this exciting game for you.
SKA-Neva
One of the strongest teams in the league is SKA-Neva. The team has close ties with the SKA parent club, because many players have experience playing in the KHL. The St. Petersburg team finished at the top of the table and gave out a series of impressive victories in the end, which continued in the playoffs, where Neftyanik was beaten with great difficulty in a hard struggle.
"Oilman"
This season is frankly failing "Neftyanik" and demonstrates a weak level of hockey, as for himself. Previously, the team was in the main contenders for the title, and this season with great difficulty won the fight for the playoff zone. Now the team has an unsuccessful segment, it gave out a series of defeats, which was continued by the duel against SKA-Neva, although the team from Almetyevsk looked very worthy.
Statistics and figures:
- The last match between these teams ended with the victory of "SKA-Neva" 3:2.
- Neftyanik has won just once in its last five games.
- SKA-Neva has a good streak of six consecutive wins at home.
Forecast
The hosts look like the favorite in this confrontation. SKA-Neva has been looking good lately, especially in attack, and Neftyanik has a less strong selection of performers, especially in the defensive line. I think the Petersburgers will win the second game more confidently.
