Izhstal IzhevskIn the second round of the OlimpBet - VHL, HC "Ryazan" and Tyumen's "Rubin" will meet. Both teams suffered defeat in the first matches of the new season, but "Ryazan" lost to "Yugra" in regulation time on their home ice, while "Rubin" lost to the defending champion "Khimik" in a shootout. "Rubin" showed good preparation in the preseason matches, winning four out of five games, and also has an advantage in head-to-head meetings with "Ryazan" - winning the last five encounters. "Ryazan" had varied success in friendly matches and their performance on the ice was not always convincing. Based on these facts, it can be assumed that "Rubin" will have the advantage in this game and will be able to secure a victory. However, nothing can be said with certainty as hockey is an unpredictable sport.
