HC SochiIn the match between Metallurg and Neftekhimik, the advantage is on the side of the hosts. Magnitka showed a strong game against SKA, while Neftekhimik lost to Avangard. The Magnitogorsk team will be motivated to seek revenge and continue their winning streak. A victory for Metallurg in regulation time seems likely.
Metallurg and Neftekhimik are meeting after a scandal in the previous match. Both teams are struggling in attack and with converting chances. The upcoming game could be tense, and low scoring is likely. Therefore, my prediction is under 5.5 goals total.
