Neftekhimik

In their last match, the team lost on the road in a scoring shootout to Severstal 6:5.
"Cupid"

From the start of the championship, Khabarovsk residents cannot find their game and only rarely win.

Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this game, because both teams do not have a margin of safety. Nizhnekamsk residents have recently begun to slow down and rarely win. Amur is also having a weak season, hanging out at the tail of the table. I think, nevertheless, the advantage of its site will help to defeat Petrochemicals.
