Forecast: SKA win. Arguments: 1. SKA has a strong roster with players from the NHL and key leaders such as Di Angelo, Nikishin, and Tolch. 2. In the previous match between the teams on home ice, SKA won with a score of 8:5, demonstrating their strength in attack. 3. Severstal is in poor form after a defeat against Sochi, indicating issues in the team's game and defense. 4. The powerful attack and effective defense of SKA will give them an advantage in this match.
In the match between Severstal and SKA, a high-scoring game is expected as both teams are attacking-oriented. Previous games have seen a lot of goals scored, indicating a high level of offensive play. Severstal recently returned from an away tour where they showed inconsistent results, but they always try to perform well at home. SKA is a strong team with powerful offensive play. It is expected that both teams will be geared towards a high-scoring game, and we will see a large number of goals scored. My prediction is a total of over 5.5 goals.
