Admiral vs. Metallurg Magnitogorsk: KHL match forecast

Current form

Metallurg still can't recover from the beginning of the decline and continues to lose to all their opponents. The team losing streak has already reached three matches, and it began away to Avangard, where the "foxes" had an excellent opportunity to achieve success, but suffered an offensive defeat in overtime (2:3). It is worth praising goalkeeper Nabokov, who reflected 42 shots, which allowed the game to go into extra time and cling to one point. Then Magnitogorsk met another fairly powerful opponent in the person of Ak Bars and this time lost with a rout (1:4). Once again, the team defense allowed the competitor to create a huge number of dangerous moments in its zone, and goalkeeper Smolin was unable to back up the club, as his teammate did, which together led to such a sad result. It is impossible not to note the fact that Razin charges themselves made many shots at the goal, but their accuracy was mediocre.

There was no doubt that, having returned to their home arena, Metallurg would be able to rehabilitate themselves before the fans for the lost points and would easily beat Sibir, which was not in the best shape. Indeed, the meeting began with serious dominance by Magnitogorsk, due to which they managed to score two unanswered goals, but they were unable to maintain the advantage, and in the final period the opponent not only recovered, but also took the lead just three minutes before the final whistle. As a result, the meeting again ended in defeat with a score of 3:4.

Disqualifications and injuries

It is worth noting that Metallurg has no problems with its roster at all, and the infirmary remains empty.
