Editor's Prediction
Before suffering two defeats in Penza, the Oilmen had won five consecutive away games and remained unbeaten in regulation time for the last 13 road matches. A solid choice for the upcoming game is a victory for Neftyanik with a (0) handicap. You might consider a double chance for Neftyanik as part of the strategy, but we predict that the visitors will aim to settle the score without needing overtime.
