SKIF Nizhniy Novgorod (W) - Biryusa Krasnoyarsk (W)

KHL. Quarterfinal.
"Metallurgists" - last season's champions, but this year their period may end already in the first round. They lost the first two quarterfinal matches at home: 1:4 and 2:3 (OT).

Another low-scoring game is expected. First of all, "Avangardists" play very reliably in defense. Let's add the importance of the game. And between these teams, they play seven consecutive meetings, all underdogs.

KHL. Quarterfinals.
The first two meetings took place in Magnitogorsk and were won by the "avangardists" (4:1 and 3:2 in overtime). Today, it won't be any easier for the KHL champions to compete away. I hope that "Metalurgas" won't score over two goals - that is my main prediction. Just to cover all bases (exactly 3 goals), so that no unexpected events would ruin my plans.
Overall, in the last 15 home games, Omsk only allowed over three goals once.
And "Magnitka" has only gone over three goals against "Avangard" once in their last 20 encounters.
