Bars vs Metallurg Prediction 15 November 2026
π Metallurg Novokuznetsk begin their road trip in Kazan, where Bars Kazan have won each of the previous three meetings. Metallurg come into the game after two emphatic home wins over Zvezda (6:3) and Dynamo St Petersburg (5:2), although they then suffered a surprise defeat to SKA-VMF (0:1). The situation is more difficult for Bars. Since the second half of October, they have struggled to convert their chances and have failed to score several times. Barsβ defence has also made mistakes. Can the hosts end their losing run against Metallurg?

βοΈ Editor's Pick
Metallurg Novokuznetsk have been convincing in their recent high-scoring games, but the history of meetings in Kazan is less clear-cut. Although Metallurg Novokuznetsk have won their previous three away games against Bars Kazan, Bars Kazan have avoided defeat in regulation in seven of their last eight home head-to-head games. That record makes a bet with some cover worth considering, despite the hostsβ current problems in attack. My pick is Bars Kazan to avoid defeat in regulation (1X).
Will this prediction come true?
