Ryazan Team Overview
Ryazan-VDV head into the start of the championship on the back of a challenging run: four defeats in their last five outings and just one win during that stretch. Defensive issues have been particularly glaring-the team is conceding an average of 3.1 goals per game over their last 10, a figure that outpaces their offensive output of 2.7 goals per match. Still, Ryazan-VDV consistently show resilience, fighting until the final whistle: they have scored more than 0.5 goals in the third period for ten consecutive games, while their team total has gone over 1.5 in six of their last seven tournament fixtures. This highlights their ability to finish games strong, even away from home. However, their overall performance continues to suffer due to a shaky back line, limiting their chances of picking up points against sides with well-organized defenses.
