"Severstal " alternates victories and defeats and cannot boast of a stable game in defense or attack. The Cherepovets team lost heavily to "Sibir " on their home ice, and this time the opponents will be a much more famous and powerful team. CSKA is moving forward with all its might and pleases hockey fans with its effective game.

We believe that in this meeting the "red-blues " will earn two points within the regular time.
