Editor's Prediction
Games without conceding goals tend to make Perm a bit complacent. This season, they've had seven such matches in the regular season, and in each following game, Molot have conceded at least twice, with at least four goals seen by fans in all seven encounters. Considering that a similar total was reached in seven of Gorniak-UGMK's last eight away games, opting for over 4 total goals in the match seems like a smart choice.
