The Tractor team has two victories in the away series and is in excellent form. Returning home, the team will receive maximum support from fans. Neftekhimik's performances in away and home matches differ. The Tractor team has the initiative and quality game, while the guests will hope for mistakes from the opponent. At the moment, the home team significantly outperforms Neftekhimik. Based on all of the above, a victory for the Tractor team in regulation time seems certain.
It is expected to be an interesting and intense match between Traktor and Neftekhimik. Traktor demonstrates strong play at home, stands out with motivation and rest before the match. Neftekhimik, with a counterattacking style of play, will not lag behind and is ready to impose a battle. Considering that both teams are capable of scoring many goals, a high-scoring and thrilling battle is expected, possibly from both sides. A high-scoring shootout and a victory for one of the teams with a score of 4:3 or 5:4 are possible.
The Tractor team has had a strong start, winning three out of five away matches, including a 3-0 victory over SKA. Neftekhimik is also in good form, leading the Eastern Conference, but after a 2-5 loss to Sibir, they may be facing some issues. Tractor shows confidence at home, winning two of the last head-to-head meetings. Based on this, I lean towards Tractor winning with a handicap of -1.5 in this match.
The forecast for the match between two equal teams is indeed difficult, but both are in good form and score a lot of goals. Taking this into account, one can expect a high-scoring game with plenty of goals scored. Considering the potential of both teams, it is likely that the final score will be quite high, possibly with at least 7 goals scored. Therefore, betting on the game's high-scoring nature and a large number of goals could be a reasonable decision for this match.
