The match between Norilsk and Izhstal promises to be interesting. Norilsk, fighting for a spot in the playoffs, has been facing difficulties in home games throughout the season. In their last 5 matches, the team has only won one game in regular time, conceding four goals to the Chelny team. The difficulties with results can negatively affect the team and create additional pressure. Izhstal, although not having a clear tournament motivation, managed to defeat Sokol in the previous match. Izhstal's statistics in away games are also impressive, with the team winning two games in regular time. Moreover, they have already beaten Norilsk in the first round of the competition. Taking all these factors into account, it can be assumed that Izhstal will fight for points and pose a tough challenge for Norilsk. Therefore, I predict that the match will be very competitive and may end in a draw or Izhstal's victory.
