Metallurg Novokuznetsk vs Bars Kazan: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Fri, 28 Nov '25)

Metallurg Novokuznetsk and Bars Kazan are gearing up for a showdown in the VHL tournament on Friday, 28th November 2025 UTC. It's time to unpack the stats and find out which team will laugh all the way to victory.

Our deep dive into history reveals a game of perfect symmetry, with both Metallurg Novokuznetsk and Bars Kazan each bagging 7 victories from their last 10 head-to-head encounters. It's like looking in a mirror, except this one's made of ice and hockey sticks.

Last time they clashed on Christmas Day in 2024, it was Bars Kazan who delivered holiday blues to the home crowd, skating away with a 5-2 triumph. They might have been Santa's helpers that day, but they forget to share any gifts with Metallurg Novokuznetsk, who remained somewhat shot-less and penalty-free.

As the countdown to the match begins, momentum is sneaking like a puck into the nets. Metallurg Novokuznetsk recently emerged from an intense 3-2 victory over AKM Tula. On the other side, Bars Kazan was on fire as they extinguished SKA-VMF St. Petersburg in a cool, fog-free 3-0 win.

Given this comedic pas de deux of stats and playful jibbing, the crystal ball predicts Bars Kazan might just continue their winning streak and skate their way to another victory.
