Emotional Tuesday is followed by a full gameday with strong match-ups!
CSKA is on a bit of a role, and this isn’t the right time for Ak Bars to be hosting them, and yet here we are. Should be a doozy!
Avangard has won 3 in a row and heads to Moscow to take on Dynamo, which has several wins in a row itself. This should be a game filled with fireworks. SKA is also the winner of 3 straight and host a struggling Avtomobilist, which has dropped two straight. Looks like St. Petersburg will be the site of a 4th straight victory, right?
Dinamo Riga finally got in the win column and now opens up the season at home, where it’ll play four straight. Could Traktor be the first victim in Latvia this season
Barys and Amur face off with both already itching for a win as they’ve pretty much only known losses thus far. Still, home team Barys has the current and historical upper hand over Amur. The situation is similar in Cherepovets as Severstal (losers of 2 in a row), and Admiral (losers of 3 in a row) will battle it out to get back into the win column.
Stay tuned for some topflight action!
