Spartak Moscow vs Metallurg Magnitogorsk KHL 2026-27 Predictions & Betting Tips - Metallurg to Rule the Rematch
Metallurg Magnitogorsk are backed to win including overtime and shootouts, score first and clear 2.5 team goals, while Spartak Moscow are tipped to remain under 2.5 goals.
Spartak won the reverse fixture 3-2, but the score concealed Metallurg’s dominance. Magnitogorsk outshot Spartak 42-22, generated almost twice as many attempts and led 2-1 before the visitors completed their comeback.
Ivan Fedotov faced 32 shots across the opening two periods and was instrumental in keeping Spartak close enough to steal the result. Metallurg already demonstrated that they can control this matchup. A similar performance should give them every chance of gaining revenge in Moscow.
Spartak have since lost three consecutive home games, scoring only five goals and conceding 10. Metallurg responded to the earlier defeat by winning five straight before their run ended against Shanghai on Wednesday.
Key Stats and Betting Trends

Spartak Moscow Form
Spartak have followed a five-game winning streak with four consecutive defeats, scoring only six goals during that losing run.
Their last three home games ended in a 2-1 overtime loss against Avangard and successive 4-2 defeats against Avtomobilist and Traktor. That leaves Spartak with a 2-4 home record, while they have failed to reach three goals in four straight matches.
Spartak needed an excellent performance from Fedotov to survive Metallurg’s pressure in the first meeting. Their declining home form suggests another 42-shot barrage will be considerably more difficult to withstand.
Metallurg Magnitogorsk Form
Metallurg won five consecutive games after the defeat against Spartak, beating Barys, Neftekhimik, Salavat Yulaev, Ak Bars and Avangard.
They scored 20 goals during that run, including six against Neftekhimik and five away to Avangard. Wednesday’s 4-1 defeat against Shanghai ended the streak, but Magnitogorsk still hold an 8-3 record with a league-high level of consistency at both ends of the ice.
The earlier meeting remains the strongest reason to support Metallurg. They controlled the shot count, created sustained pressure and held a third-period lead. With Spartak now struggling at home, Magnitogorsk are backed to convert that territorial superiority into victory.
