Command Analysis

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl 2

Current form
The team faces the task of getting into the "Golden" division based on the results of the current championship, but it will be very difficult to do so. Last season, the team from Yaroslavl took fourth place, and the club lacked only one victory to get into the play-in. In the current MHL draw, Dmitry Altarev charges have every chance of getting into the play-in, and so far the team is coping with this, fulfilling all the tasks set by the coaching staff. In the regular championship, the "railwaymen" show an excellent game, act confidently on the court and take second place in the "Silver" division of the Eastern Conference. The team from Yaroslavl has 35 points, four points behind the leader "Tolpar". The team played 28 matches, in which they were able to achieve 16 victories and suffered 12 defeats, with 80 goals scored and 71 goals conceded. In the last game, the Yaroslavl team lost to Molot (1:2), having missed the decisive goal 30 seconds before the final siren. The game before, the club lost to the same Perm team, but only in a shootout.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team concedes 2.5 goals per game
- The club has suffered seven defeats in its last 10 matches

Tyumensky Legion

Current form
In the last championship, the club fought for the top three, fought with dignity against opponents of a higher class, but took only sixth place in its division at the end of the season and could not get into the play-in. In the off-season, the team was replenished with a number of young players, and we will see what the club will give us in the current championship. In the regular championship of the MHL, the Tyumen team played 26 matches and won only eight victories with 18 defeats. The team has been showing an uncertain game in recent matches, and it will be very difficult to fight for the playoffs and, most likely, this threshold will not be reached. Tyumen Legion conceded 100 goals, and scored only 72 goals. In the last confrontation, Rustam Kamalov charges lost to AKM-Novomoskovsk in a shootout, ending the regular time of the match with a fighting draw (4:4), and the Tyumen team beat them in the game before - 3:2 in the end. At this stage, they have 21 points and are in seventh place in the standings, 11 points behind the TOP-3 of the Silver Division of the Eastern Conference.
