Ska-Neva have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in the first period in eight of their last nine matches. In Norilsk’s recent home games, however, the first-period averages are 1 goal scored and 0.83 conceded, adding some risk. We’re backing under 1.5 first-period goals at odds of 1.5.
Reliable bet
SKA-VMF have covered the +1.5 puck line in 24 of their last 25 games. They have conceded an average of 0.8 goals in their recent away games. We’re backing SKA-VMF +1.5 at odds of 1.24.

⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
These teams have never combined for fewer than five goals in Norilsk. All three previous head-to-head meetings on the Bears’ ice have produced at least five goals in regulation. Norilsk’s recent home games tell a similar story: five of their last seven have gone over 4.5 goals. Given the scoring in previous meetings and both teams’ attacking potential, another open contest looks likely. My pick is over 4.5 total goals.
Will this prediction come true?
