Avtomobilist heads into today’s slate of game as only undefeated team!

Indeed, Avtomobilist will be hosting a Kunlun team that hasn’t beat them in four straight matchups. Not the best prerequisites for a Kunlun team hoping to prevent a third straight loss.

Riga on the other hand will be looking to get into the win column before this season starts looking too much like last. Alas, Vityaz will be no pushover after a stinging defeat in its last outing.

Elsewhere, both Traktor and Torpedo are home teams today that are each coming off a recent victory. Guest Sochi will have a hard time in Chelyabinsk getting off its losing streak while SKA is looking to get a winning streak of its own fired up against host Torpedo.
