Lokomotiv now shows a clear tendency that they lose one game and leave one for themselves, such a transformation is happening. Now, according to the schedule, the Yaroslavl team has won. Well, maybe there are reasons for that, because Salavat is honestly panicking about his results right now. Lokomotiv easily defeated Kunlun a few rounds ago 3:0 in the class, in the last round they fought on equal terms with the team from Nizhny Novgorod, but still lost in “OT”. Now the fight is going on with a rather powerful Salavat, but only here we must take into account the fact that Salavat himself is now in a rather decomposed state and is losing a lot. In fact, against the background of the Ufa team, the alternation of victories and defeats, Lokomotiv looks quite acceptable, and the “railwaymen” are clearly capable of playing for a few tournament balls.

Salavat has come in waves this season, they had some pretty good segments when they were actively adding points to their piggy bank, but there were also long losing streaks. So now Ufa actually has another losing streak. And if they somehow managed to compensate for their defeats against such opponents as Metallurg, Dynamo Moscow, Ak Bars, a defeat in the last round with Nizhnekamsk 2:5 is somehow too much … And there is also a factor in the next match. Of course, this does not play in favor of Ufa, which has not been able to do much on foreign courts recently. Actually, there are 2 quite equal teams on this poster, now it’s worth giving a slight advantage to the team from Yaroslavl. Well, it seems that Ufa need to change their game and try to climb higher in the Eastern Conference than their current 6th place…
