Editorial Prediction
Norilsk are not exactly lighting up the scoreboard, having scored fewer than one and a half goals in six of their last seven games. Given this, it's hard to foresee a goal fest from the home side on the ice. On the flip side, Rubin appear confident with a well-rounded performance both offensively and defensively. However, even their productive attack faces challenges, averaging under three goals per game for the team from Tyumen. Thus, a bet on total goals under 4.5 seems reasonable, especially since this bet has hit in Rubin's last four matches.No comments
