Analysis and prediction for the match Sochi Hockey Open “Sochi” – “Avangard” (08.04.2023)
In anticipation of the start of a new draw of the Kontinental Hockey League, which starts in a month, let’s pay attention to the pre-season tournament match – Sochi Hockey Open. On August 4, the locals Sochi and Avangard will compete. The first matchup is scheduled for 19:30 Moscow time.

In the summer, Sochi underwent a major personnel upgrade. Many experienced hockey players joined his list, in particular Artyom Alyaev, Kirill Rasskazov, Artyom Sagadeev and 31-year-old Croatian striker Borna Rendulich, who played from 2017 to 2019 for Vityaz near Moscow.
Rotenberg announced the departure of Olympic champion Prokhorkin from SKA.
Last season, the Leopards were acutely aware of their lack of experienced hockey players. The youngsters tried, but many times they lacked self-confidence, technique and execution. The situation was aggravated by the rather frequent changes of mentors and the fact that SKA took the most promising athletes in the transfer window, who were just becoming leaders in Sochi.
As a result, Sochi finished the season in the last place in the KHL summary table. In 68 games, he had just 11 wins (nine in regulation time and two in extra time). During this time period, the Leopards scored 142 goals, while they themselves conceded the most of 254.

There is a lot of work ahead of Dmitry Kokorev. This summer, Sochi signed a new contract with a mentor who will continue to work as a head coach without the prefix “and”. O”. In the last four games under his leadership, the Leopards beat Neftekhimik (3:1), lost to SKA (5:6 OT), and also defeated Severstal (4:3) and Kunlun (5:3).
Rotenberg: SKA won’t have a salary cap problem for the KHL season.
Avangard finished last season much better than Sochi. It finished in third place in the Eastern Conference standings. At the Gagarin Cup, the “hawks” reached the semifinals. At the previous stages, they confidently beat Sibir and Metallurg. Ak Bars did not let them go further.
Not the last role in the Omsk hit was played by Mikhail Kravets. He took charge of the team in mid-October of last year. The specialist very quickly adapted and fine-tuned Avangard’s game mechanisms. The only thing is that they often missed completely in the second period. Something has to be done about it.
In the off-season, the Hawks dropped many hockey players. There were significant losses. Successful forwards moved to SKA – Sergey Tolchinsky and Arseniy Gritsyuk. It is also unknown if top scorer Vladimir Tkachev will return to the Omsk team. His contract with the club expired in April.
One thing is known for sure: before the start of the friendly tournament in Sochi, Tkachev will not join Avangard. But the composition of Omsk in the summer was replenished with the best scorer from Admiral Libor Shulak, Dinamo Moscow striker Ivan Igumnov, Severstal striker Igor Geraskin, Tractor goalkeeper Ilya Proskuryakov and more.
Avangard also signed a contract with Andrej Podkonicki, assistant head coach of the Slovakia national team. In the updated lineup, the Hawks recently beat Omsk Krylia (6:5 B) not without difficulty. Some leaders did not participate in the meeting. Mikhail Kravets noted that he gave other players a chance to prove himself.

Most likely, the coach will allocate a lot of playing time to the youngsters in the next match. He pointed out that it is necessary to work on discipline. There were too many fouls in the match against Omsk Wings. In the end, a friendly meeting. It is not so much the result that is important, but the adaptation of the rookies and the improvement of the depth of the squad. The best option for a bet seems to be more than 5.5 discs for a coefficient of 1.97.
Velichkin: This season will be decisive for Ovechkin.
The history of the last five face-to-face meetings is only for. In total, in particular, at the last Sochi Hockey Open, he played the top in goals. Avangard won them, but this time it’s easier to believe in their success. Kravets seems to be focused on youth development. In terms of performance and content, the next match is unlikely to be much different from the match against Omsk Krylia.
Sochi – Avangard: forecast and bet for the match August 4, 2023
The friendly status of the match, the history of the last five head-to-head meetings and a large number of newcomers in both teams promise a high performance for the next match. It seems that Kravets will not deviate from the given plan and, as in the match with Omsk Wings, he will spend a lot of time on very young hockey players.
