The prediction for the match between Mr. Vexler's team and Tractor looks interesting. The visitors are leading the series 3-0, which may lead to a slight relaxation and decrease in concentration. Also, yesterday's draw for Mr. Vexler's team can boost their morale and motivation. However, considering that Tractor needs a win to clinch the series, they may give their all and capitalize on the momentum they have built. Furthermore, the Tractor team has experience and confidence after three consecutive wins, which may help them secure the victory in the match. Therefore, taking into account the psychological factors and Tractor's desire to finish the series, I anticipate that they will be able to win this game.
