According to the statistics of the recent matches and the current form of the teams, it is more likely that the home team "Yuzhny Ural" will win. They are on a good streak of 5 consecutive victories, including wins over strong teams such as "Buran", "Neftyanik", and "Tambov". In contrast, the "Buran" team has an unlucky series of 4 consecutive defeats, conceding a lot of goals. Additionally, a month ago, "Yuzhny Ural" already secured a victory over "Buran" away with a score of 1-3. Considering all these factors, it can be concluded that the home team has a better chance of winning.
In this match of the All-Russian Hockey League, Yuzhny Ural is hosting Buran. The teams are ranked 5th and 15th respectively. Yuzhny Ural returned from an away series and won 6-3 against Tambov. In the last four away games, the team suffered three defeats, but beat Nefteyinik 3-0. Yuzhny Ural plays better at home - they have already won 5 games in a row and have scored 3+ goals in their last 4 matches. On the other hand, Buran is on a downward trend - 4 consecutive losses and 2 consecutive games with 3+ goals conceded. Orsk plays very well at home, scoring at least 3 goals in most of their home games. Meanwhile, Buran concedes at least 4 goals. In addition, Buran's main goalkeeper is out of form, and his replacement is young and inexperienced. Therefore, Yuzhny Ural is a higher-class team and has an advantage in scoring and power play, making them the favorites in this match.
