3.15Tip and bets
The home team is the favorite in this match. Magnitka has won three previous matches and does not intend to share points with its opponent. The team from Magnitogorsk will use its ice, and we can assume that the support of the fans and the younger core of the team will be the decisive factor in the match.

Bet on total
This pair is expected to play under the dictation of the hosts with a small number of scoring opportunities.

Forecast - total under 4.5 goals with odds of 1.83

"Magnitka" has conceded only two goals in the last three games and intends to show a confident game in defense today. We can assume that the hosts will not concede more than two goals.
