The oilman is a diesel engine. Betting Tip (cf 1.86) and bets on the VHL match

The oilman started the series with Diesel on the home arena, where in the opening match he proved his superiority over his opponent, winning a landslide victory (4:2). It seemed that there would be no problems in the return leg either, but the club played poorly defensively, allowing the Penzaks to make a comeback and equalize the score, which led to overtime. As a result, they still managed to snatch Victoria in extra time (4:3), thereby earning a comfortable advantage before the departure. Few people could have expected that the Almetyevsk team would not be able to realize themselves in attack from the word at all, scoring only one goal in both meetings and suffering two defeats with a score of 1:3 and 0:3, respectively. In both matches, the club scored 67 shots, but the puck stubbornly missed the target.

Diesel initially acted as a clear outsider in the series with Neftyanik and predictably failed to win a single victory away. True, in the second match, the Penzaks were one step away from success, but there was a little lack of quality in the minority, the club conceded three goals, playing in unequal squads. Returning to the home arena, the team chose defensive tactics and did not lose. Goalkeeper Kudashev's incredibly successful game allowed him to snatch two victories with the score 3:1 and 3:0, respectively, thereby equalizing and reducing the gap.
