⭐️ Editor's Pick
Metallurg Novokuznetsk come into the game with a more convincing position in the standings, but their head-to-head record is the main argument in the hosts' favour. Metallurg Novokuznetsk have scored at least three goals in seven of their last eight home games against Zvezda Moscow. For the Moscow side, who already risk dropping to last place, this opponent poses a serious threat.
