It's essential not to underestimate the visitors in this matchup. SKA-Khabarovsk has shown significant improvement recently, currently on a three-game unbeaten streak, and is likely aiming to continue their success in the Cup. Ural struggles to find the net, particularly against well-organized defensive teams, which Khabarovsk certainly is. We believe the visitors will avoid defeat in regular time.
Our prediction is that SKA-Khabarovsk will not lose at odds of 2.50
