Omskie Krylya vs. Rostov: VHL match forecast
On December 3, Omskie Krylia will host Rostov at the Avangard Arena in Omsk. The hosts have failed to please fans with a positive result in their last seven away games, but the visitors won in Kurgan in the last match. Will the hosts be able to rehabilitate themselves and win on their home ice, and what bets should they play? The answer is in our forecast

Command Analysis

Omskie Krylia

Current form
The management of the Omsk club before the start of the championship expected to fight for a place in the playoffs of the Bratina Cup, but the chances of getting into the 16 best are melting away before our eyes. The team does not always play at full strength, does not fulfill the coach assignment and does not show character throughout the match. All this taken together may well lead to the team remaining without matches for a season.
In the last game, Omskie Krylia showed an uncertain game and could not win over Kurgan Zauralie. The Omsk team fought with the opponent throughout the entire match and in some moments played on equal terms. The confrontation ended with a confident victory for the opponent 5:2, which once again indicates that the club from Omsk is not fully ready for the VHL championship. At this stage, the team has 14 wins and 15 losses, 31 points and an interim 23rd place in the standings. The fight in the championship is just beginning, and Ramil Saifulin charges have a theoretical chance of getting into the TOP-16 if they do not make ridiculous mistakes. The gap from Yuzhny Ural, which is closing the playoff zone, is five points, which will not be easy to make up.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Omskie Krylia score 2.3 goals
- The team has been unable to beat its opponent in Omsk for three games in a row

HC Rostov

Current form
The Condors have been without a fight for the Petrov Cup for several seasons and have a task to get to the playoffs in the current championship. The opponents are showing a more powerful and meaningful game, but it is quite possible to do this if you do not allow misfires and start winning more often, and also do not give games to teams of a lower class. The club from Rostov-on-Don started the new championship at its level and there are no significant changes from last season, but it can be noted that Grigory Panteleev charges are showing more interesting and attacking hockey.
In the last game, Rostov played in Kurgan and beat Zauralye. The match ended in a 3:3 draw, and in overtime the team finished off the opponent and earned the much-needed two points. In the previous match, Rostov suffered a defeat from Rubin (3:6). At this stage, they have 32 points and are in 21st place in the tournament table. The team scored 82 goals and won a devil dozen victories in 31 games played.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team concedes an average of 3.3 goals per game.
- The Condors have not lost in regulation time in eight of their last 10 matches.

In this confrontation, bookmakers put the hosts as the favorites, but the "condors" from Rostov-on-Don will provide due resistance to the opponent. Rostov shows a skillful game from match to match and will cause a lot of problems for the home team.
