Avangard vs Avtomobilist prediction

Avangard
After losing two matches away, Avangard returns to their native penates and they have something to prove in the next match. Before the game with the Motorist, they have injuries: Boucher, Tkachev and Berdine will not be able to play. All of them have not played since the beginning of the championship and it is already possible to play without them. Head coach Kravets absolved himself of blame for the latest defeat by Salavat Yulaev and said that the guys need to do their job better. There are a lot of losses, inaccurate passes and few scoring chances - but in home matches everything is usually different. With their spectators, Siberia, Neftekhimik and Ak Bars beat Siberia at the beginning of the championship, and Omsk had several days of rest to recover for the match with the Motorist.

Avtomobilist
The motorist had two matches in his arena and if they beat Salavat Yulaev first, then in the next game they lost to Barys and were not like themselves. Now there will be guest ice and it will be even more difficult there. Kashnikov and Kizimov are injured, and a couple more people are questionable in the next match with Avangard. They were the first to concede a goal from Barys, but as their head coach Zavarukhin said, they were outplayed by Barys' goalkeeper, who caught a lot, and in some moments saved the bars. In the away matches, so far everything is bad enough for Cars. The team spends the first periods in guest meetings with low throwing activity now.
Prediction
Avangard won the last eight meetings at home against Avtomobilist and only once went into overtime, and Omsk won all other matches in regular time. At home, the team from Omsk almost always plays well, unlike a guest Car. Avangard started this season well and now they can play high-quality hockey again, and motorists play away from defense and this does not often lead to success. In the first matches of the championship, the Motorist looked a little heavy in away meetings and cannot yet be considered the favorite of the confrontation.
