Team analysis

Norilsk have had a difficult start to the season, having lost the first two games of the campaign against Omsk Wings and Zauralye. The team has struggled in attack, managing only one goal in three periods against Omsk Wings, and was defeated 1-2 against Zauralye. Furthermore, their performance at home is worrying, as they have only achieved one victory in the last nine home games. Norilsk's form is among the lowest in the league, which puts them in a difficult situation for this match. However, they have the support of their fans, which could be a positive factor if they manage to overcome their difficulties.

Rubinon the other hand, has had similar problems recently. The Tyumen team has played three consecutive away games without achieving any victory. They have suffered defeats on penalties in their last two games (2-3 against Dinamo Altai and 1-2 against Sokol) and a more categorical defeat against Metallurg by 0-3. This series of negative results has placed Rubin in 16th place in the table, close to the relegation zone, increasing the pressure on them to obtain a significant victory in this matchup. Despite his difficulties, Rubin is still considered the favorite for this match due to his best overall performance in the season and his favorable record in head-to-head meetings with Norilsk.
