Russian FederationCurrent form
The Tula team has been playing in the MHL for several seasons now, but they have not been able to show a powerful and brilliant game year after year. And there is no point in talking about the playoffs at all, since the club has not yet been able to solve such problems. In the last championship, the team took eighth place in the Silver Division of the Western Conference and, as always, was left without playoff matches. The start of the current championship was a failure for the team. The team suffered 17 defeats, scored only 61 goals, and at the same time conceded 102 goals and won only eight victories. In the last game, the team met with the Red Army in Moscow and lost to the opponent with a score of 1:4, conceding two goals in the first and third periods. The game before, the juniors of the Mikhailov Academy emerged victorious in a match against the youth of Moscow CSKA. The main time of the match ended with a 1:1 draw, and in overtime, Alexey Verbitsky team finished off their opponent. As a result, they are in ninth place in the tournament table and have 17 points.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club averages 2.4 goals per game per season

The Yaroslavl team is one of the most recognizable clubs in the MHL, which is widely known not only in Russia, but also in Europe. In Yaroslavl, they are proud not only of their main team, which is one of the favorites of the Western Conference, but also of their youth, who constantly please the fans and grow up to the main team. Last season, Loko took first place in the regular championship, but failed to win the Kharlamov Cup. In the final, the team could not break the resistance of SKA-1946, losing 1:4 in the series. Oleg Tauber charges took part in 26 matches of the current regular MHL championship and earned 37 points, which allows the club to take third place in the Golden Division of the Western Conference, seven points behind the leader Spartak. The "railwaymen" have 18 victories, 107 goals scored and only eight defeats. At the moment, the Yaroslavl team is showing a confident game and has suffered only two defeats in 10 previous matches.
