Before the match
At the moment, Metallurg Magnitogorsk can be called one of the main disappointments of this season of the Continental Hockey League. After last year’s final, Magnitogorsk looked like one of the main contenders for the Gagarin Cup, they started the regular season well, but at a certain moment something broke at the Ural club. Since December, the team has never won more than two victories in a row – a disaster for a top club. Glimpses happen, such as the recent away victory over Sibir with a score of 4: 1, after which Ilya Vorobyov was very optimistic:
“It seems that we are getting out, we are moving in the right direction.”
But this was followed by a home defeat from the modest Neftekhimik – the crisis did not even think of ending.
Ak Bars went through a transformation of a completely different kind during the regular season. Oleg Znark, who was called to Kazan to lead a star team to the Gagarin Cup, did not work out at all in the capital of Tatarstan: he seated Alexander Radulov in reserve, lashed out at journalists, but this did not help the team in any way – at some point, Ak Bars was out playoff zones, and the champion coach had to resign. It seemed that the season could not be saved, but the legend of Kazan Zinetula Bilyaletdinov came to the rescue. Under him, the “leopards” practically stopped losing, took first place in the Eastern Conference ahead of schedule, superstars stopped showing their difficult character, and began to work for the overall result.
“He is a good player who knows how to score and pass. I must say that now, as a captain, he leads the team well. This is our leader, who shows how to play, what to do, everywhere the first”, – this is how, for example, Bilyaletdinov praised Radulov at a press conference.
Forecast for the match “Ak Bars” – “Metallurg”
It is significant that Ak Bars did not stop playing, even after winning the Eastern Conference – after that, Kazan, for example, scored maximum points during the four-match Far East trip, which looks almost unrealistic. Individual players also have extreme motivation – according to various media reports, the same Radulov will receive a solid bonus for getting into the top 3 scorers in the KHL. Magnitogorsk, judging by the match against Spartak, which took place on Monday, is still in prostration and is not ready to give out its maximum.
Our prediction for the match “Ak Bars” – “Metallurg”: the victory of “Ak Bars” in regular time, odds – 2.00.
