"Sarmatians" will play with "Auto" in the match of the regular season of the MHL. Will the hosts be able to fight?
"Sarmatians"
Despite the lack of tournament motivation, the Sarmatians continue to fight in every match, striving to finish the season as best as possible. The previous opponent was the Omsk Hawks, from whom the Sarmatians won in the first match (5-3), and then lost in the second (1-3). Now they have 50 points to their credit, with which they are in 14th place in the eastern conference. They will definitely not fall below it, but they will be able to rise to a maximum of 12th.
"Auto"
"Auto" failed at the beginning of February, losing in three out of four matches, and then won five victories in six games, but this was not enough to break into the top eight. On the eve of the first match with the Sarmatians, Auto has 66 points and is on the ninth line, five points behind Sputnik, which is in the eighth position. Even the maximum number of points in the remaining games will not allow "Auto" to rise to the top 8.
Statistics and figures:
- "Sarmatians" lost in seven of the previous eight matches;
- "Auto" has won in five of the last six games;
- "Auto" won against "Sarmatians" in six of the previous seven matches.
Forecast
"Auto" is the favorite, but I propose to bet on the victory of "Sarmatov" with a handicap of +2. They impose the fight on all rivals and rarely lose big.
