Command Analysis

Vityaz

Current form
The coaching staff of Vityaz made a rather strange decision in the off-season and left the roster as is, despite the terrible results last season. The team took the last line in the table, having scored the fewest points in the league. As expected, the "bogatyrs" were unable to show themselves in pre-season matches, winning only three out of eight possible. One of the main problems of the Podolsk team remains with them: the club continues to miss a huge number of goals and is simply unable to rehabilitate itself at the expense of its own attacking line.
In the opening match of the regular championship, the "bogatyrs" played with an opponent of their level in the person of "Admiral" and suffered a defeat with a score of 2:3. In the first period, "Vityaz" started very actively and created a huge number of dangerous moments at the gates of the "sailors", however, they were unable to realize anything. Then the game evened out, but in the end, the competitor was a little luckier. In general, it is worth saying that "Vityaz" looked no worse and fully deserved the points, but did not earn them.
Injuries and disqualifications
Vashchenko (injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- Last season, Vityaz conceded an average of 3.3 goals per game
Vityaz has been showing terrible defensive play year after year and has been constantly conceding a large number of goals, which is one of the main reasons for the club’s terrible results.
- Last season, Vityaz scored an average of 1.95 goals per game
Weak defense last year was not the only problem; the “bogatyrs” scored the fewest goals in the regular championship.
Estimated composition
Shikin, Dorozhko, Golovkov, Busygin, Valentsov, Malorosiyanov, Stewart, Voronkov, Vasiliev, Roy, Galuzin, Yarovoy, Zubov, Savchik, Gautier, Buchelnikov, Chivilev, Daryin, Baptist, Vorobiev, Tsitsyura, Arkalov, Morozov, Detkov.

Amur Khabarovsk

Current form
"Amur", unlike "Vityaz", still managed to get into the playoffs, although it took a colossal amount of effort. The team took the eighth place in the table, and then suffered a defeat in the first round of the playoffs from "Metallurg". It is worth noting that the team remained almost unchanged, and among the reinforcements, it is worth noting two classy forwards in the persons of Alexander Galchenyuk and Devin Brosseau. In the preseason, the Khabarovsk team showed mixed results, after a disastrous start, the team came to its senses and began to consistently beat all opponents on its way, winning three victories in a row.
The regular championship began for Amur away to Dinamo Minsk, where they suffered a dry defeat with a score of 0:3. The Tigers fought as best they could, but they seemed to be below the level of the Minsk team, constantly making mistakes and allowing their opponent to realize their potential.
Injuries and disqualifications
Talaluev (injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, every 14th shot by Amur resulted in a goal.
"Amur" regularly makes a large number of shots on the opponent's goal, but there are problems with the implementation of these shots. It seems that the team is faced with the task of simply shooting at the goal, and not trying to score.
- Amur received an average of 7.2 minutes of penalty time per match
Amur prefers careful hockey, which is why it rarely breaks the rules and is subject to penalties.
Estimated composition
Lozebnikov, Bobkov, Rylov, Kulik, Baldaev, Mishchenko, Gurkin, Ryzhikov, Shchemerov, Grachev, Durando, Broadhurst, Brosseau, Gretsky, Galchenyuk, Lapin, Gizdatullin, Lee, Khokhlachev, Shevchenko, Korotkikh.
Trends
Goal in each period bet - yes
In five out of six head-to-head matches, the teams scored a goal in each period
1.75Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In four out of six head-to-head matches, the teams failed to score more than one goal in the first period.
1.66Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, bookmakers cannot determine the winner, offering approximately equal odds for the teams, which is quite strange. Vityaz demonstrated an excellent game in the final match of the pre-season games and in the opening match of the regular championship. The team should have won against Admiral, but was a little unlucky in converting the moments. Amur, on the contrary, seems not to have been ready for the regular championship, as evidenced by the weak game against Minsk Dynamo. The opponent, of course, was of a higher class, but the Khabarovsk team did not even try to fight back. That is why we suggest betting on the home team, who will be able to achieve success with the support of their home stands.
Our prediction is Vityaz's victory in the match for 1.98
Bet on total
Following the results of last season, the teams were among the least productive in the league. And it is unlikely that the situation will change in the new regular championship, since the rosters and coaching staffs remain the same. Therefore, in the upcoming match, we suggest betting on the total under.
Betting Tip - total under five goals for 1.76
Bet on the outcome of the first period
As we have already noted, Vityaz showed great play and high speeds in the first match of the season, thanks to which they had two excellent opportunities to open the scoring. We believe that the home walls will help the "bogatyrs" to start off vigorously in the match with Amur.
Prediction - Vityaz wins in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.92
