Ak Bars Kazan host HC Sochi in the KHL on Monday, 12 October, with both teams looking to recover from disappointing recent performances.
Ak Bars have lost their last three games, but their defensive record remains relatively strong. They've conceded just 32 goals across 14 matches, an average of 2.29 per game, and will see this as an opportunity to return to winning ways.
Sochi have been struggling at both ends of the ice, winning just two of their opening 13 matches. They've scored only 16 goals all season and have already been shut out five times, making their offensive production our biggest concern heading into this matchup.
- HC Sochi have scored just 16 goals in 13 games, averaging 1.23 per game.
- Ak Bars have conceded 32 goals in 14 matches, averaging 2.29 per game.
- Sochi have lost all five away games this season, while Ak Bars have won five of nine at home.
Ak Bars Recent Form
Ak Bars have struggled for consistency, winning seven of their opening 14 games and scoring just 32 goals. They've lost three consecutive home matches, falling 3-2 to Traktor, 2-0 to Lokomotiv and 4-1 to Severstal.
Despite those results, Ak Bars have maintained a reasonable defensive record and should have opportunities against one of the KHL's weakest attacking teams.
HC Sochi Recent Form
Sochi have endured a difficult start to the season, with just two wins from 13 matches and a goal difference of -31. They've lost their last three games, including a 6-0 defeat to Torpedo and consecutive losses to Spartak Moscow.
Scoring has been the biggest issue. Sochi have failed to score in five matches and have managed more than two goals only twice this season.
They did beat Ak Bars 3-2 in September, but their overall form suggests repeating that result in Kazan will be difficult.
Verdict
AK Bars are the better team despite both struggling for wins.
