In the only meeting of the game day in the KHL playoffs, an interesting confrontation between Metallurg and Barys awaits us again. The start of the fifth game in the series of these teams is scheduled for March 9 at 17:00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for the outcome of this meeting for you.
Metallurg
Metallurg started extremely confidently in the championship, dominating all its fights, and therefore rarely loses. The Foxes jumped into the first place of the eastern conference and for a long time no one was allowed there, they show attacking hockey in every meeting. After the defeat in the first game of the series, Magnitogorsk rallied and has already won three victories, remaining one step away from reaching the next round.
"Barys"
So far, Barys has not looked the best since the start of the season, alternating victories and defeats. All this is due to big changes in the leadership and the loss of many key players, without whom it is difficult for the team to cope and win every match. In recent meetings, the Kazakhs began to show a bright game, giving out a series of victories, which was interrupted in the playoffs by three consecutive defeats, two of which were at home.
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with the victory of Metallurg with a score of 2:5.
- In their last five meetings, Barys has won only twice.
- Metallurg has a good streak of three wins in a row.
Forecast
Metallurg looks like a big favorite in this confrontation, which has a stronger and more stellar composition and was able to turn the course of the series in its favor. After losing the first game, the foxes are forced to play only to win. In turn, Barys began to fail and lost reliability in defense. I think the hosts will win here.
