In the first playoff game of the VHL, Zaurelye hosts Zvezda. Judging by their performances in the regular season and recent results, Zaurelye appears to be the stronger team. The home advantage should also benefit the team from Kurgan. Zaurelye's main team has good goaltending and defensive lines, while Zvezda is not as consistent and lacks in defense. I expect Zaurelye to secure a comfortable victory in the first game as they are ready to fight for the win, especially playing in front of their fans.
