Izhstal IzhevskI expect AKM Tula to be the clear favorite in this match. The team has shown consistency in their game and has a high potential. In their last 10 matches, they have won 9, which speaks to their strong form. On the other hand, Chelmet plays inconsistently and has defensive issues. Additionally, Chelmet has a weak attack, further increasing AKM's chances of winning. Moreover, AKM prefers to attack aggressively and not allow opponents near their goal. However, Chelmet is fighting for a playoff spot, so they will have high motivation. Nevertheless, I believe that AKM's professionalism and experience will help them secure the victory.
