Today regular MHL championship match will kick off between two representatives of the "Silver" division of the Western Conference. The hockey players of "Russian Vityazi" will participate in a home match against "Sakhalinskie Akuly".
The hockey players representing "Vityaz" in the MHL had a challenging 2022-2023 season, securing the 7th place in the "Golden" division of the Western Conference. The Red-and-Whites took 7th place and headed into the play-in round, where they encountered "Captain" from Stupino and suffered two losses. Consequently, "Russian Vityazi" descended to the "Silver" division on sports principle and are now vying for a significant spot among the best in the Western Conference. The starting matches of the 2023-2024 season ended favourably for the "Russian Vityazi". The representatives from the Moscow region triumphed in two consecutive matches against the "Taigun" from Vladivostok with an aggregate score of 12:6, a clear sign of supremacy and dominance. After the two matches, "Russian Vityazi" rank 4th and share the 1st position with "Dinamo-Shinnik" in terms of lost points.
The "Sakhalinskie Akuly" spent the 2022-2023 season in the "Silver" division of the Western Conference and finished the regular championship in 6th place, which didn’t allow them to play in the play-in round. Still, it showed that the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk team has the potential to perform better in the current championship. For the 2023-2024 season, the "Sakhalinskie Akuly" have played only three official matches and have not yet claimed a victory. The island-based club lost in matches against the Moscow "Dinamo" and suffered two losses against their colleagues from Bobruisk, both games finishing with four goals scored. The "Sakhalinskie Akuly" currently sit at 10th place with no victories to their name, similar to "Taifun", "Capitan" and "Auto".
"Sakhalinskie Akuly" and "Russian Vityazi" have clashed in six official fixtures. "Russian Vityazi" have claimed 5 victories, while "Akuly" came out on top in 1 meeting.
"Russian Vityazi" will win within the regular time frame. The hosts have had a better start to the 2023-2024 season and have only played on their home turf, while the "Sakhalinskie Akuly" have been on the road since the championship started, which can be incredibly draining and affect the final outcome. This odd I will add to express bet.
