In the last championship, the team managed to get to the final of the Petrov Cup, but could not beat Almetyevsk Neftyanik, which became the owner of the coveted trophy. This season, the team from Tula has not yet secured a place in the knockout matches and has suffered three defeats in the past five games. The team is in good playing shape, shows attacking hockey and acts reliably in defense. In the last match, the club was unable to beat Saratov Kristall on the away ice (1:2), ending a mini series of two victories in a row. But in the previous game, Sergei Reshetnikov's charges beat Samara CSK VVS (5:1), and this victory was the 23rd in the season. At this stage, the team has lost 16 matches, scored 123 goals and earned 50 points. AKM is in 11th place in the tournament table, fighting in the playoff zone at the proper level and has a four-point lead over the TOP-16 teams chasing them.

Gornyak Uchaly
Russian FederationCurrent form
The team is doing well in the current championship so far and the club looks much better than in the last championship, which was a failure and failed to make it to the playoffs. The team from Verkhnyaya Pyshma was unable to break Khimik's resistance on the opponent's ice in the last game. The match was a two-edged struggle and ended 3:3 in the end, but the hosts were more accurate in the shootout. The game before, Alexey Alexeyev's team fought with Ryazan and won a confident victory with a score of 5:3. This victory was the 24th in the season, and at this stage the club occupies the third line in the tournament table. Before these meetings, Gornyak-UMMC won an away victory in Nizhny Novgorod, beating Torpedo-Gorky in overtime, where a fighting draw of 4:4 was recorded in regular time. The team has 59 points, scored 151 goals, and is playing with full dedication, but in some moments the club is simply unlucky. It is worth noting that the team has scored the most goals and is the best in the VHL in this indicator.

We can assume that a positive attitude and motivation will be decisive factors for AKM in the match.
