My Prediction
Metallurg Magnitogorsk by 3Despite good efforts from the likes of Nikita Mikhailov and Arkhip Nekolenko, Lada Togliatti is coming in with a losing streak even longer than my love for bad puns. On the other hand, we see Metallurg Magnitogorsk smothering the ice with their recent victories - must be easy with Dmitry Silantyev and Roman Kantserov adding their magic touch on the puck.
And dear, oh dear, what do we see here in the past match-ups? Why, it's an almost clean sweep by Metallurg Magnitogorsk over Lada Togliatti. Like that old saying: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... well, let's not go there. As for the regular season records, it seems Metallurg Magnitogorsk has quite the upper hand there as well.
Honestly, if we could get any goalie stats, it might shed some more light here, but we're left in the dark in that department. But still, folks, based on recent match outcomes and past performances, it's easier to predict the sun will rise tomorrow than betting against Metallurg Magnitogorsk for this match-up.
And as for the margin... Well, if you're a Togliatti fan, you might want to look away now.
