Command Analysis

Metallurg has scored three wins in the last five matches, but there have been some problems. For example, in Novosibirsk Magnitogorsk lost to Siberia with a score of 2:5, and then with great difficulty coped with the Motorist (4:3). But with performance, everything is pretty good. During this period, the team scored 17 goals, and even against strong opponents, they regularly created dangerous moments.
The last home meeting with CSKA ended in a real failure. Alexander Siryatsky and Nikita Mikhailis provided a 2-0 advantage, but then the Army team completely seized the initiative. Igor Nechaev still managed to distinguish himself in the second period, but by that time the problems in defense had already become obvious. As a result, Metallurg conceded seven goals and lost 3-7. For Konstantin Shafranov's team, this was one of the most unpleasant defeats of the season.

The recent meeting with Metallurg is probably still well preserved in the memory of Neftekhimik's hockey players. In Nizhnekamsk, the hosts lost 0:2, but managed to win back and put the match into overtime. However, extra time remained for Magnitogorsk, who won 3-2. This was followed by a defeat from Admiral (3:4), after which Igor Grishin's team went on the road. And here the results turned out to be much more pleasant.
First, Nizhnekamsk defeated Siberia with a score of 3:1, and then beat Sochi (2:1). In the second match, Yevgeny Mityakin's puck was especially important, as he converted the majority a few minutes before the siren. Before that, Matvey Zaseda led the guests ahead, but the southerners managed to restore equality. The victory allowed Neftekhimik to score 29 points and gain a foothold in the second place of the Eastern Conference.
Tip and bets
The defeat from CSKA is unlikely to remain without consequences for the Metallurgist. Magnitogorsk needs to correct defensive mistakes, especially if they lose the puck in the middle zone. However, this does not mean that the hosts will completely abandon the usual attacking hockey. The team is still scoring fairly regularly, and it has already been successful against Neftekhimik this season. The visitors look more confident now than they did at the end of October, but the last two victories were won over rivals who are experiencing serious performance difficulties.
In Magnitogorsk, Nizhnekamsk residents will have to face a much more active attack. At the same time, it cannot be ruled out that the guests will be able to impose a fight again, since their defense has been acting quite reliably lately. The beginning of the meeting will be of great importance. If Metallurg quickly seizes the initiative, the opponent will have to take risks more often, and this will open up additional opportunities for attacks by the hosts. We believe that Magnitogorsk residents will draw the right conclusions after the previous defeat and will be able to return to the winning path.
