Command Analysis

Amurskie Tigry

Current form
In the last championship the club jumped above its head, and who would have thought that the team would be able to earn a promotion to the "Gold" division. The team reached the 1/16 finals of the Kharlamov Cup, but lost to St. Petersburg "Dynamo". However, the team still won the first match, but lost the next two. "Amur Tigers" in the current season are not showing a very confident game and can not break into the eight best teams of their division. In the last match, Konstantin Bogdanovsky charges were able to interrupt a series of six defeats and emerged victorious in the match against "Atlant". Regular time of the game ended with a score of 1:1, and in overtime the Khabarovsk team snatched victory. The game before, the club from Khabarovsk lost to the Mytishchi club (2:3 OT). The team scored 20 points in 23 matches and is in the last line of the tournament table. Khabarovsk has nine wins, 14 losses and only 53 goals scored. The gap from the eighth line is four points, which is quite possible to win back.

Sakhalinskie Akuly

Current form
Last season, the team took seventh place in the Silver Division of the Western Conference and was unable to participate in the playoffs, and the team showed uncertain play and results. This season, the team is also not shining with results and there is no chance of getting into the top three. Opponents fighting for places in the play-in have already pulled away by 13 or more points, and the club does not have such a strong roster with which to fight for high places in the MHL. In the last match, Sergei Bazhukhin charges were able to beat Mytishchi Atlant. The match was dictated by the Sakhalin Sharks and ended 5:1 in the end, where the team scored a puck in the first two periods and three in the third 20-minute period. The game before, the club suffered a defeat from the Mikhailov Academy U20 (2:4). In the Silver Division of the Western Conference, the team is in sixth place in the standings and has scored only 19 points, and in 22 games played, only eight victories have been won and 61 goals have been scored, with 68 goals conceded.

Bet on total
In this pair, the hosts will have the advantage. The teams are absolutely different in terms of the level of play and selection of players. It is worth paying attention to the fact that in four of the last five face-to-face matches of the opponents in the MHL, more than five goals were scored, and we believe that in this confrontation, too, a goal extravaganza will take place.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.95

The Amur Tigers have problems converting scoring opportunities. Since the start of the championship, the team has scored an average of 2.3 goals. We believe that the hosts will be able to upset their opponents more than twice.
Forecast - individual total of "Amur Tigers" more than 2.5 goals for 1.55
