Command Analysis

Sokol Krasnoyarsk

Current form
Krasnoyarsk have looked very weak lately and are not acting confidently on the court. In the last 10 games, the "feathered ones" have won only two victories, but at the start of the season they looked preferable. The appointment of Andrey Faikov as head coach has been beneficial to the team. In the last game, Sokol defeated Toros (6:2) and intends to join the race for the TOP-16, where the gap is only four points.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team concedes 2.7 goals per game
- In the last 17 matches, the club has won only one victory in regular time

Izhstal Izhevsk

Current form
The team from Izhevsk has been playing terribly this season, with players often simply lacking skill in the final stages. Andrey Shefer charges have won only four victories since the start of the season and have conceded 98 goals in 22 games. In the last meeting, Izhstal played against Norilsk and suffered a crushing defeat (3:7), and the game before that they lost to Chelny (1:4). The team is in last place in the tournament table and has nine points to its credit.
Interesting trends for betting
