Vityaz will continue its next home series with a match against a difficult opponent, Sochi will come to Podolsk. The game will take place on October 26 at 19:30 Moscow time at the Vityaz Arena. Our portal also offers you its own version of the forecast for this game.
"Vityaz"
Since the new season, the team has been headed by Yuri Babenko, but so far the coach has not been able to build a team. After a good start, the team issued a protracted series of failures, which was interrupted only for a few fights and continued again. Huge problems in defense do not allow the team to consistently score points. In the last match, Vityaz was able to please the fans with a 2-5 victory over Dynamo Moscow.
"Sochi"
The Sochi players started confidently in the championship and won several victories, but after that the team began to slowly lose momentum in defense and began to lose often. Now the Sochi team's series of failures looks depressing at all, the team loses in almost all matches in a row, while showing a weak game. So in the last match, Sochi lost on its site to Metallurg following the results of the shootout series.

Statistics and figures:
- The last match between these teams ended with a 6-5 victory for Sochi.

Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this game, because both teams do not have stability and are now in bad shape. The hosts have a game crisis this season, so they can't compete with the strongest teams in the league yet. Sochi residents have an overcrowded infirmary, so I suggest choosing the victory of the hosts.
