"Stalnye Lisy" - "Sibirskie Snipers": forecast for the MHL match
On December 2, the Steel Foxes will host the Siberian Snipers in Magnitogorsk. The hosts played their last two home games against the Kuznetsk Bears very well and did not leave the slightest chance to their opponent from Novokuznetsk. But the visitors have not been shining with results this season and are in the basement of the table. Whose side will luck be on and what bets should they play? The answer is in our forecast

Command Analysis

Stalnye Lisy

Current form
The youth team of Magnitogorsk Metallurg will try to get into the playoffs of the Kharlamov Cup in the current season of the MHL. The club aims not to repeat the mistakes of the last championship and intends to get closer to the final, and not to be eliminated in the first round. In the last calendar match, the team was able to cope with the Kuznetsk Bears and won. The team controlled the course of the game, followed the instructions of the head coach, but were able to realize only two scoring opportunities. The Steel Foxes beat their opponent from Novokuznetsk with a score of 2:1 and strengthened their position in the league. This win was the 14th this season for the Magnitogorsk team. It is worth noting that the team has never won in overtime this season. The club defeated its opponent from Novokuznetsk (6:1) in the previous game. Stanislav Shumik team has 32 points and is in fifth place in the tournament table, five points behind the second-placed Mamonty Yugra, but they are unlikely to reach the leader.
