Oleg Tymchenko’s men, following a two-game losing streak, will travel to Elektrenai, where they will face the local team Energija for the third time.

As for the head-to-head meetings this season, Kyiv have been stronger in all four games (7:2, 3:2, 4:1, 7:3).
In those matchups, Martins Karsums has collected 10 points (6+4) for the Kyiv team. Meanwhile, Dovydas Laimutis and Avgustinas Silinas have each recorded three points (1+2) for the Elektrenai side.
The teams’ top scorers this season remain Aivaras Bendzius of Energija with 23 points (10+13), and two Kyiv Capitals players with 44 points each – Lauris Bajaruns (20+24) and Martins Karsums (17+27).
