Magnitogorsk played three matches in the quarterfinals. The first two teams played in St. Petersburg, where they exchanged victories with the opponent. At the same time, the Steelworkers lost the second game 0:6 and could not break through the Dynamo goalkeeper. After two games, the series of the second round of the playoffs moved to Magnitogorsk. The team played at the children's ice palace all season, but now the team has moved to the Metallurg arena for the remaining home matches, where the KHL team of the same name usually plays, but the move did not help and again the defeat was a landslide. The visitors opened the scoring first, and it happened pretty quickly — in the opening of the first period, in the second minute. Then the hosts attempted their attacks, but the Petersburgers intelligently extinguished them, and they could not win back. The score 0:1 remained on the scoreboard until the 57th minute. Then Magnitogorsk let the opponent escape to a rendezvous with the goalkeeper — 0:2, and already playing with an empty net, she conceded the third goal. The result is that for the second match in a row, the team cannot score a goal, they lost 0:3, and 1:2 in the series.

The steelworkers will fight hard, and the fans will drive the team forward. Today, the steelworkers intend to win their second victory in the series and win for the first time at the Metallurg Arena.

Bet on the total
In this pair, a game is planned to be dictated by the hosts with many dangerous attacks. Magnitogorsk implements the created scoring chances well, but in the last three of the Steelers' five matches in the playoffs, the total was lower. We believe that the scoring extravaganza will not take place in the confrontation.
The betting tip is a total of less than 4.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.80
Betting on an individual total
Magnitogorsk cannot score against their opponent for the second match in a row and intends to break the scoring drought. We can assume that the Magnitogorsk team will score more than two goals, since in the last three matches out of five, less than two goals were not scored.
Betting Tip - Magnitogorsk's individual total is more than two goals in 1.90
