VVS Samara

Current form
The club is not performing as well as the coaching staff would like in the VHL championship. CSK VVS is at the bottom of the standings, and has suffered four defeats in the past five games. In the last game, the team was unable to beat Tambov at home (2:3 SO), and in the match before that, they beat the “hurricanes” from Voronezh (2:1). Sergei Shakhanov’s team is in 31st place in the standings, has 19 points, and this season it will be very difficult to fight for a place in the playoffs, which is unattainable for the “army men”.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, CSK VVS concedes 3.2 goals per game
- The team has won in the first period in its last three games.

1.93Tip and bets
The home team is the obvious favorite in this match. Torpedo-Gorky has been playing great at home and has won two of its last three games. The team from Nizhny Novgorod will use its ice and a more balanced team composition, and we can assume that these factors will help the club win the match.

This pair is likely to feature a game on opposite courses with many dangerous moments.

Forecast - total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.75
Bet on individual total
CSK VVS hasn't been playing well in the attacking line lately, and in the past five matches the club hasn't scored more than two goals. We can assume that the club from Samara will score no more than two goals.
