"Siberia" will host the next match of the regular season of the Kontinental Hockey League in Nizhnekamsk. How will the meeting end? Our sports portal gives a forecast for the game.
Neftekhimik
The club from Nizhnekamsk had a terrible first part of the regular season — now the team occupies the last place in the entire league.

The hosts took the lead already in the 3rd minute, but they could not develop success.
