Barys Astana vs. Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk

Last season's suprise package from the Eastern Conference has had a tricky start to the new season, but also Barys is currently still on a negative record. One team will get it right in Astana, but the way things ran so far, one would expect this to be the hosts:
