Does CSKA finally catch up with Ak Bars with a 33rd win today?
If so, it’ll have to come in the form of a tough road win against Lokomotiv. Desperate for a win are the boys who suit up for Traktor, which have lost five straight. Visiting Vityaz isn’t planning on letting the opportunity to beat a dead dog pass.

Now below .500, Vityaz will has its hands full with a CSKA team that is surely upset by its recent overtime loss to SKA. Will Vityaz be able to keep Mamin and Shalunov off the scoresheet in this one?
