Izhstal IzhevskIn the current season, "Khimik" and "Rubin" have shown good performance in the preseason tournament. "Khimik" has eight wins, while "Rubin" has six. Last year, "Rubin" lost in the semi-finals of the cup. "Rubin" only played 7 matches and came close to winning the Petrov Cup. In the quarter-finals, the team was defeated by "Neftyanik". From this, it can be concluded that both "Khimik" and "Rubin" have good results. The match between them promises to be interesting, and the outcome may depend on key moments. But considering the current form, the victory is likely to go to "Khimik," especially given their advantage of playing at home.
