Within the span of three weeks, the opponents will face each other for the second time at Inbox Arena.
Both teams approach this matchup with identical point totals – 26 each. So there is no need to emphasize the importance of the result: the stakes are obvious. During the season, the sides have already played twice, with the Capitals and Zemgale/LBTU exchanging away victories.
Since the most recent meeting, Artis Abols’ team has won only once (4:1 against Energija), suffering defeats against Mogo/RSU and Prizma. Meanwhile, Kyiv had two games on the schedule and earned victories over Prizma and Riga Hockey School.
Heading into this match, Zemgale/LBTU’s top scorer is Rihards Marenis with 20 points (6+14), while Kyiv Capitals captain Martins Karsums has already collected 25 points (8+17).
Once again, it should be exciting to watch the duel between these experienced players and the battle between two teams that are direct competitors in the standings.
