When looking for an appropriate prediction for this event, do not focus on the history of the matches between these teams, as it has been quite some time since their last encounter..
Let's try to understand and analyze which team is stronger.
Zvezda Moscow: It is in twelfth place in the standings out of 33. The team is in not their best form.
A bit about the previously played games:
Last time год назад the team played a home match against the club Торпедо-Горький. A brilliant shootout with an abundance of goals undoubtedly delighted the fans. The guests won, managing to score one more goal. But that was enough for victory.. One match before this the club Звезда Москва played a home match against the team Рязань-ВДВ. Excellent attack and great defense led to a decisive victory in this encounter..
Zauralie Kurgan: Occupies sixteenth place in the standings out of 33. The team is in weak form.
In recent matches, the club has shown low scoring in home games. Information about the previously played matches:
Last time the team Зауралье played an away match against the club Югра. The match featured шайбами. Both teams played without looking back at their own goals, resulting in a total of 5 goals scored and a loss for Зауралье. Previously the team Зауралье played an away match against the club Рубин. The match turned out to be exciting, as the total goals exceeded 3.5, and both teams managed to score. However, this is a game that this team should forget and move on.

Izhstal IzhevskIn the match between Zvezda and Zauralye, low scoring is expected. Both teams have weak offensive play, and Zauralye concedes on average only 2.1 goals. In the recent games in Moscow, only one match ended with more than 4 goals scored. Considering Zvezda's lack of firepower and Zauralye's solid defense, I predict that the match will end with a low number of goals. I bet on the total under (4.5) goals.
