Command Analysis

Kristall Saratov

Current form
The Saratov club failed last season and as a result it could only take the penultimate place in the tournament table, which did not allow them to fight in the knockout matches. This season the team looks much more confident and shows a more meaningful game. The team began to move at high speeds and causes many problems for opponents. In the last match, Kristall defeated one of the leaders of the VHL Zvezda (5:2) and is located on the 23rd line in the tournament table.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, 5.2 goals are scored in Kristall matches
- The team has won in the third period in three games in a row

Yunison Moscow

Current form
Since the start of the season, Unison has not shown a very stable game and results. In the two previous confrontations, the team lost on home ice to Gornyak-UGMK (0:3) and Chelmet (1:4), and two games earlier they won against Magnitka (5:2) and Yuzhny Ural (3:1). At this stage, they have 12 points and a modest 28th place in the standings with 29 goals scored. Of course, there is no talk of the top 16 after the end of the regular season, but the team will try to take a higher place.
