17:05 Riga – Almaz Cherepovets

One more match from MHL playo-off.

Riga against Almaz, two teams that have played a similar regular season:

8. Almaz 56 20 8 9 19 176:169 85
9. HC Riga 56 23 4 6 23 169:172 83

Almaz was better only for 2 points.

Riga ended the regular season in good form, with two wins and because of that they are favorite here.

But, Almaz is a subsidiary of Severstal from KHL and they have 5 new players for play-off:

Khokhlov, Arefyev, Gimatov, Sergei and Buchnevich.

Well, Almaz now have new 2 backs and 3 attackers which are very good for MHL league.

I think bookies are wrong this time, and for me away team is favorite today because with this players they are much better team.

This odd is big value. Good Luck!
