Chelmet vs Metallurg Prediction 27 October 2026
🔊 Chelmet sit at the bottom of the VHL standings and are still searching for a way to snap their six-game losing streak. Next up, the Chelyabinsk side face one of their toughest opponents-Metallurg Novokuznetsk. Metallurg have dominated this head-to-head, winning the last seven meetings, including four consecutive victories in Chelyabinsk. The visitors will be looking to extend their impressive run and solidify their position in the league, while the hosts are desperate just to halt their prolonged slump. However, previous encounters between these teams have rarely produced high-scoring affairs, so fans shouldn't expect a goal fest this time around either.

Prediction for the 1st period
Metallurg have been slow starters lately, rarely lighting the lamp early in games. The Novokuznetsk side have played 11 consecutive matches where the opening period finished under 1.5 goals. That streak stretches to 12 games on the road. Even considering Chelmet’s struggles, the visitors may need time to break through the hosts’ defense. The bet: First period total under 1.5 goals at 1.57.
Match Result Prediction
Chelyabinsk’s Chelmet have struggled to find answers against Metallurg for quite some time now. The Novokuznetsk side have come out on top in each of their last seven head-to-head meetings, all in regulation, including four wins in Chelyabinsk. The hosts’ current form does little to inspire confidence either-they are on a six-game losing streak. Given these numbers, it’s tough to make a case for a Chelmet revenge. The bet here is on a Metallurg win in regulation at odds of 1.65.

⭐️ Editorial Prediction
Metallurg may hold the upper hand in the head-to-head, but their clashes with Chelmet rarely turn into one-sided affairs. In fact, each of their last eight meetings has seen fewer than 5.5 goals scored. Novokuznetsk also tend to start games cautiously-over their past 11 fixtures, no more than one goal has been scored in the opening period. While Chelmet are on a losing streak, the history between these teams suggests we shouldn’t expect a goal fest this time either. My pick: under 5.5 total goals.
