The guests are the absolute favorites in this confrontation. The hosts are playing terribly and cannot win three games in a row, unlike their opponent from Kirovo-Chepetsk. The Olimpia hockey players will go out on the ice motivated and charged only for victory, will use a more balanced lineup and confidently win.

Both teams prefer an attacking style of play. In the last five games of the guests in the VHL, 35 goals were scored, and the four previous meetings of Izhstal were also productive. We believe that a goal extravaganza will take place.
