Round six: "Zenith" derby, Moscow vs. Belgorod, and other miracles

The forecast for the fifth round showed, that Vanga is approximate from me: correctly predicted six winners in seven matches, but on the account in general past the cash register. Which once again confirms: volleyball - storyline, where the stars converge and diverge, where does he live, in spite of everything, intrigue.

In the sixth round, there is room for intrigue to frolic. In Ufa, eg, it will be hot: to the “Ural”, which has gained some creaking, will be granted the win-win “Torch” so far. The hosts will be a serious test for the restricted youth, because they are little inferior in power (perhaps, that even surpass). The battle of thought remains, as a coaching, as well as gamer, plus mood and courage. It's really hard to predict the winner., but I dare to put on the guests, if Babkevich emerges to an acceptable level. If it "floats", hosts have increased chances of success.

Licking the wounds "Locomotive" will arrive on the platform of the lost "Dynamo-LO". Much will depend on, who will be able to recover first. Although other things being equal, I would shift the balance towards the guests, because I like their centers, what can you do. Matches are rarely won by centers alone., so let's put Kazachenkov on the scales, which can shift to the playoff with a recovered Luburic. Then everything depends on Klimkin's counterarguments, especially from the edge of the grid. Igor Tisevich and Semyon Krivitchenko will have a special pleasure, who moved to Novosibirsk just from Sosnovy Bor.

In Orenburg "Neftyanik" receives "Ugra-Samotlor". Virtually equal rivals today. The hosts had a difficult calendar and did not have a single won game in their assets. Away wins, but in the last round with Yenisei, the Nizhnevartovites were not like themselves. So far, resources are not very visible on both sides, due to which someone can confidently win, therefore, I wang a protracted viscous fight in the stalls. Or is there someone, who will burn the meadow. Rivals have approximately equal number of such potential "lighters", which will work - science does not know.

The epic battle of two "Zeniths" in Kazan with a cherry in the form of Matthew Anderson against the "former". Does an American know, that hit the wrong "Zenith"? Joke. Wangyu, that Anderson may not appear on the site, since its functionality is not the fact that it is ideal, and there is no teamwork at all. Unless Voronkov "convinces" Tolochko to do it beautifully in terms of marketing: release Anderson to frolic in Kazan. As for the game itself, then the spectacle will be oh-hoo: Gossip against Volkova, Mikhailov vs. Poletaev, Christenson vs. Kovalev/Kobzar, etc.. Even if one duel fails, will please another. But volleyball is still a team sport, and here I slightly tip the scales towards the hosts: their interactions are excellent.

Depressed lately, ASC takes on the cheered up Yenisei. Siberians will not have walks like in Nizhnevartovsk, but ASC will have to sweat a lot. I think, their efforts will not be in vain. "Yenisei" is quite possible to pass on the experience: invite the Krasnoyarsk players to play pressure and make them make mistakes at maximum speed. the main thing, not to shake the enemy too much, not give away the psychological advantage. Generally, there will be an inconspicuous subtle intellectual game with elements of the struggle of Nanai boys.

Home "Nova" against the guest "Kuzbass" - this is very interesting. It is at a party that Kemerovo residents do not feel completely confident, and "Nova", losing the majority of away matches, will be eager to follow in the footsteps of the "Yenisei". The main weapon of the guests rightfully becomes Kirill Klets and from his concentration (there is no doubt in the physics of the diagonal) a lot will depend. Nova has no symmetrical response power, that is, Igor Shulepov will offer an asymmetric answer, somewhere in the region of Lukyanenko's favorite quick game.

"Dynamo" with "Belogorye" will play the second, after the Zenit derby, tour sign. It's simple here: a pitch will fly at Dynamo - there will be a performance based on Shakespeare's Othello, with a choke in the final. Will not fly - possible "Romeo and Juliet", that is, passions to mutual destruction. Initially, Dynamo has more arguments, but it is also important to present them correctly. Something non-standard is required from Belogorye, something confusing, something beyond the usual quality game. Boris Kolchin thinks, Konstantin Bryansk, rather, tunes. So they will play: "Dynamo" from the mood, "Belogorye" from tactics.
