Rostov vs Izhstal prediction
Rostov
Rostov residents are having a relatively good time this season, especially in comparison with the depressing results of the previous one. However, the recent setback has had a major impact on the team's position in the table. Now, following the results of 56 games, the southern team has 59 points in its piggy bank. At the same time, the team still claims to get into the playoff zone - 6 points remain to the coveted 16th place. But the club lost immediately in 6 of the last 9 matches, which seriously affected both the standings and the morale of the players. Rostov is currently on the 25th line, but the upcoming meeting with Izhstal is a great chance to score much-needed points and return to the fight.
Rostov's attack looks powerful — 152 abandoned goals indicate the high performance of the team. Daniil Kalmykov, Dmitry Anop and Artyom Berdnikov are particularly prominent this season. Kalmykov is one of the team's best snipers, regularly bringing points to the club's piggy bank. Anop is distinguished not only by his scoring sense, but also by his ability to distribute sharp passes, and Berdnikov helps his partners with his experience to open up the opponents' defenses. The coaching staff relies on aggressive attacking play, often sacrificing defensive reliability. Of course, in matches against the top teams of the VHL, such tactics sometimes fail, but against the average and outsiders, Rostov knows how to dominate due to pressure and the power of the attack.
It is also important to note the statistics of Rostov's home matches. The team feels much more confident on their ice, which is confirmed by the results of the season. Of the 24 victories, 15 were won at home, where the support of the fans gives an additional boost of energy. The last meeting of these teams was especially significant, in which Rostov did not leave Izhstal with a chance, defeating the opponent with a score of 6:2. Then the hosts constantly created a threat at the gates of Izhevsk, demonstrating coordinated attacking actions and the implementation of the majority.
Now Rostov has a great opportunity to take revenge for their recent failures and confidently beat the outsider. Winning this match will not only bring important points, but will also help the team regain confidence before the crucial meetings for reaching the playoffs.
Izhstal
The Izhstal Hockey Club is going through difficult times this season. The team is at the outsiders of the standings, experiencing serious problems both offensively and defensively. In 55 matches played, the Izhevsk team managed to score only 17 victories, which clearly indicates the instability of their game. The number of goals conceded is particularly worrying – there are already 192, which makes Izhstal one of the most vulnerable teams in the NHL defensively. According to these statistics, they occupy the penultimate place in the league. Besides, the team's offense is very difficult. A total of 112 accurate shots at the opponent's goal is again the penultimate figure in the league.
Another factor that does not speak in favor of Izhstal is a weak away game. The team traditionally performs poorly on the road, gaining most of the points at home. At the same time, Rostov feels confident in front of its fans, where it demonstrates strong, aggressive and fast hockey. Psychological pressure will also be an important factor: having lost four matches in a row, Izhevsk hockey players are not in the best emotional state. Although, the team as a whole was not particularly ready for the season to show its fighting qualities and game character. Many of the team's matches were too weak-willed. And they don't have much tournament motivation anymore. The team certainly didn't leave any chances for the playoffs.
Do not forget about the last face–to-face meeting, where Rostov defeated Izhstal with a score of 6:2. This is not just a statistic, it is an indicator of clear gaming superiority. In addition, Rostov residents are in good shape, and their leaders regularly score points. In recent matches, Rostov has shown a confident and well-coordinated game, which makes it a clear favorite in the upcoming confrontation.
Prediction
To summarize, it is worth noting that it is difficult to find a reason why the hosts should not win today. against them, one of the champion's hopeless outsiders will enter the court, who has obvious problems both with the defensive game and with attacking actions. Yes, the Rostov residents themselves are not the standard of stability and reliability, but the Southerners have a better game picture than their rivals. In addition, the hosts look great on their court, especially for a team that is not even in the playoffs, but their rivals are very weak outside their native walls.
Do not forget about the tournament motif. Izhstal has obvious problems with her. The team has flunked the season and doesn't really claim anything. Rostov is another matter, which, although it failed a series of games, still seriously claims to be in the coveted TOP 16. Well, as the experts said, the last meeting of the team, which ended with a crushing victory for the Rostock team, says a lot.
