Metallurg Novokuznetsk - CSK Air Force. Betting Tip (cf 1.68) and bets on the VHL match

Metallurg started the first series of the playoffs at home, where they met with CSK VVS. In the opening game, he was one step away from defeat, but still pulled Victoria out in overtime (1-0). In the return match, Novokuznetsk played many times more effectively in attack, which allowed them to avoid additional problems and achieve success again (5:3). Striker Shalagin played superbly, scoring a hat-trick, as well as giving an assist. After that, the club went to play on the road, where at first it was defeated by a two-goal margin (2:4), and then it snatched Victoria with a score of 3:2. Now the team is just one step away from advancing to the next stage of the Petrov Cup.

CSK VVS did not approach the playoffs in the best shape, which it demonstrated in the first two matches of the series with Novokuznetsk, having suffered defeats. Returning to the home arena, the Samaritans played much better, creating a very powerful pressure on the opponent, which allowed them to win the first victory in the series with a score of 4:2. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. It seemed that in the second leg, with the support of the home stands, the club would be able to demonstrate an active offensive game again, but in three periods it managed to make only 23 shots at the Novokuznetsk goal, which led to a natural defeat (2:3) and put the team on the verge of relegation from the playoffs.
