H1 (-1.5)

In the match between Rubin and Norilsk in the Higher Hockey League, Rubin is the favorite. They are in second place in the standings and have one game in hand over the leading team, while Norilsk is in 20th place and out of playoff contention. Rubin has a good home record and has shown a high winning percentage this season, while Norilsk has not been impressive, especially on the road. Additionally, Rubin defeated Norilsk in their previous encounter this season. Considering all these factors, we can expect Rubin to win by a margin of two goals or more.

ITO2 (2.5)

In the match between Rubin and Norilsk, I expect a high number of goals. Rubin has already secured their place in the playoffs and may not be as motivated in this game. However, Norilsk still has a chance to make it to the playoffs and will be trying to earn as many points as possible in each match. Furthermore, Norilsk showed good attacking play in their last game against Yugra, where they scored five goals. This shows their ability to score and be dangerous in the attack. On the other hand, Rubin has shown some weakness in defense in their recent matches, where they have conceded more than the average number of goals. This may create space and opportunities for Norilsk in the attack. Based on the above, my prediction is that Norilsk will score three goals in this match against Rubin. They have the motivation and capabilities to do so, while Rubin may not be as focused in this game.
