Avtodor: Stipe Kulis team has lost 6 games in a row. The upcoming clash against Enisey is a good opportunity to break the losing streak.

A win on Saturday would not only tie the season series with the guests, but also secure the first home win of 2026.
Enisey: The Krasnoyarsk team sits at the bottom of the Top 8. A win against Avtodor would guarantee spot in the playoffs. Jovica Arsic team has beaten Saratov team twice this season, but both times at home. Now Enisey needs to do it on the road and accomplish main goal of the season.
