Vityaz have a must win situation in front of them today, and if they miss it, they could miss the play-offs. Let's start with their opponents. The day before yesterday they conceded six goals against Lokomotiv. Atlant fell apart because of finances; six key players left them, among them their best scorer, captain and others. To make things worse, they have four injuries (two of which are important players), so they are a completely different team, a lot weaker; coach Kudashov says himself he can't do anything, he has no team, and it's hard in the middle of the season. Vityaz are a team who were better or the same as Atlant during the season, but now the quality is on their side, they have the home court and great motivation. Vityaz are on ninth place in the table, one point behind Sochi and they don't have the right to make mistakes. Their shape is not that good lately, but they've played against stronger opponents than themselves, and they also had a 10-day break after which they've lost in an away game against the super strong Lokomotiv. But, they've shown a good game so it's obvious they've worked on their shape and important part of the game. Although they're in the middle of the table, Vityaz have often been described as a talented team. Their win seems like a good choice today, considering their state and Atlant's. Everything is on the hosts' side, I don't see a reason not to take this by very good odds.
