Severstal lost a very important match in the last round, because with a direct rival for the top eight, he fought with Minsk and lost to “żubr” 0:2. It was Severstal’s third consecutive defeat and perhaps now the team is at a turning point for the worse. What’s more, the defeats at Cherepovets are toothless, and in total they have conceded 12 goals in the previous 3 matches – which can be considered an obvious defeat. Well, actually, the battle with SKA is now on the agenda, and there seems to be no particular hope for success here… And it seems that the 4th loss in a row of Severstal now looks very realistic. Here, it can be said with a great deal of certainty that this duel will prove to be very difficult for the hosts and will most likely end in another defeat…
But SKA has only one problem this season and that problem is that they keep losing to CSKA… Now this one maybe not so important but apparently you need to somehow find the keys to the Moscow team for the future because in the playoffs for sure SKA and CSKA will meet. Meanwhile, we can say that SKA still easily overcomes the tournament distance and leads the table with a very large advantage. As for the upcoming meeting, things seem to be proceeding on a fairly regular basis for Peter, and they will send the next few points to their piggy bank. Especially after the defeat in the last round, SKA will be furious, and all her anger should be directed at the already dismantled Severstal.
