Izhstal IzhevskBased on the results of the recent matches, a victory for Rubin is expected. The team has an excellent home record, not losing since November. Rubin has been showing consistent performances, winning 12 out of 14 matches. Meanwhile, Izhstal couldn't secure a win in their last away game. With a strong head-to-head record (nine wins out of ten) and successful play both in defense and offense, Rubin is considered the favorite. Therefore, betting on Rubin to win in regular time seems like the most likely outcome.
