Forecast: "Severstal" victory. Arguments: "Severstal" has an excellent home record, having lost only two out of ten matches on their ice this season. The team is in good form, on a three-game winning streak. "Vityaz" has not been as solid in away matches, often losing. Furthermore, "Vityaz's" last visit to Cherepovets ended in a defeat after trailing 2-0. Everything indicates that "Severstal" can secure a victory in this match.
Prediction for the match between Severstal and Vityaz: I expect Vityaz to win. Severstal has lost its last three away games and couldn't score a single goal against Vityaz in their previous encounter. Vityaz has been performing well, although they lost in the last match due to complacency. After such a defeat, the team usually bounces back stronger.
Prediction: Total under 5.5 goals. Severstal and Vityaz both are not attacking and playing cautiously. In the recent matches, Severstal did not reach the standard total. The guests can defend and play closed. There will be a lot of play along the boards, which hinders the attack. These factors indicate a low number of goals in the match.
