Command Analysis

Ryazan

Current form
Ryazan unexpectedly became the leader of the VHL this season and now deservedly occupies the second place in the standings. At the same time, last season the hosts took only 21st place in the rankings and did not make it to the playoffs. The team shows extremely effective hockey and is even ready to fight for victory in the regular championship. Now the Ryazan club is only three points behind the league leader, Dynamo from St. Petersburg. It is worth noting that the team is not among the most productive teams in the championship. Ryazan has only 77 goals scored, which is one of the most modest indicators among VHL clubs. In the last three matches, Valery Kulibaba charges met with clubs from St. Petersburg. The "paratroopers" exchanged victories with SKA-Neva (0:2, 4:1), but managed to beat Dynamo from St. Petersburg (1:0).
Interesting trends for betting
- The team scores only 2.3 goals per match
- The hosts have won three of their last four matches.

Zvezda Chekhov

Current form
"Zvezda" was among the leaders of the VHL not so long ago, but due to unsuccessful results the "army" club dropped closer to the middle of the tournament table, and now is close to being eliminated from the playoff zone. The farm club of Moscow CSKA occupies 14th place in the tournament table and is only one point ahead of Voronezh "Buran" from 17th place, and one point less than Kurgan "Zauralye". The last home series of the Chekhov club was not very successful. In four matches they managed to win only two victories - over "Ryazan" (6:0) and AKM (2:1). At the same time, the capital lost to Voskresensk "Khimik" (3:5) and "Torpedo-Gorky" (2:3). In the first away match of December "Zvezda" suffered another defeat from "Torpedo-Gorky" (0:3).
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only two of its last seven matches.
- Guests score an average of 3.2 goals per match

This bet has played in three of Ryazan last five matches
4.70Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
This bet has played in the last four matches of the hosts
1.60Tip and bets
Ryazan rightfully found themselves among the best teams in the VHL and intend to stay at the top as long as possible. Not long ago, Ryazan lost to their opponent in an away match with an indecent score of 0:6, but now the "paratroopers" have an excellent chance to take revenge, because on their home ice the team is simply unstoppable - already four home victories in a row. "Zvezda" has not surprised often lately, so it is unlikely that the capital club will be able to interrupt the winning streak of the opponent. We are betting on the victory of the home team.
Our prediction is a victory for Ryazan at 2.25
Bet on total
The hosts rely primarily on defense in their matches, and this tactic often brings success. The team doesn't score many goals, but it misses even less often. The visitors are good at attacking, but it unlikely that they'll be able to break through the Ryazan team powerful defense. Most likely, the opponents will limit themselves to four goals scored today. We suggest betting on the total under.
Our prediction is total under 4.5 goals at 1.85
Bet on individual total
Ryazan performance this season remains at a rather low level, but if the hosts want to win, they need to score at least two goals. We believe that Ryazan is quite capable of such a task, given the guests' problems in defense.
Our prediction is Ryazan individual total is more than two goals for 1.55
