In one of the most modest matches of the game day of the KHL regular season, an interesting confrontation awaits us, Severstal will host Kunlun RS. The game will be held on October 19 at 19:00 Moscow time in the Ice Palace of Cherepovets. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this game for you.
Severstal
During the offseason, the team's composition changed markedly, some leaders left, but very high-quality performers were signed to replace them, among which Chmykov and Abrosimov should be singled out. Severstal did not start very well in the championship and is now out of the Western Conference playoff zone. In the last meetings there were victories, so the team managed to beat Neftekhimik at home in a scoring shootout 6:5.
"Kunlun RS"
In recent years, the Chinese team has become an outright outsider of the league and a gathering place for young players and downed pilots. The team did not start in the best way, and in recent meetings it has no stability, alternating victories and defeats. After an unexpected home victory over CSKA, the Chinese team has already lost in three matches in a row, repeatedly failing defensively.
Statistics and figures:
- The last match between these teams ended with a 3-1 victory for Severstal.
- Severstal has not lost to Kunlun RS for six matches in a row.
- Kunlun RS has won just once in its last five meetings.
Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this meeting, because both teams do not have stability and often fail. The hosts have a lot of young people because the team plays in bursts. "Kunlun RS" already habitually looks like a complete outsider and rarely wins. I think the Chinese team will not be able to get points here either.
