Khimik vs. SKA-Neva: VHL match forecast
On December 4 of this year, the teams played each other in St. Petersburg, and then Khimik beat SKA-Neva on the road with a score of 5:4. Will it be possible to repeat the achievement of December 10 now on home ice? The answer and trending bets are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Khimik Voskresensk
Russian FederationCurrent form
For eight matches in a row, Khimik from the Moscow region has alternated victories with defeats. Based on these statistics, the team should suffer a fiasco in the upcoming match, and such a development cannot be ignored. The fans of the Voskresensk club are pleased with the form of the St. Petersburg opponent, because in three previous matches they suffered failures, which means that the chance of another success is quite good.
Khimik played its previous match away from home against the tournament leader, Dynamo St. Petersburg. The White-Blues were stronger than the Yellow-Blues in all respects, scoring five unanswered goals. Naturally, after this failure, there is a great desire to rehabilitate themselves with local fans, which the club will try to do in the confrontation with the St. Petersburg opponent.
Currently, Voskresensk is in third place in the tournament table, six points behind the leader. Recently, the team top scorer, Prokhor Korbit, has been struggling, with 28 points. In the last four matches, he was able to record only one assist, which is certainly a disastrous stretch.
Disqualifications and injuries
Shuklin, Shirokov, Antsiferov are disqualified, and Timoshkin and Shatugin will not appear on the ice due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Khimik is the league top scoring team
114 times the Voskresensk club lit the siren behind the opponent goal
- 5.9 goals are scored on average per match involving Khimik on their ice
In three of the last five meetings with home fans, at least six goals were scored
SKA-Neva
Russian FederationCurrent form
In the home series of games with strong opponents, SKA-Neva scored half of the possible points. In the first two matches, AKM (3:1) and Ryazan (2:0) were beaten, but then there were losses to Torpedo-Gorky (3:4 in overtime) and to Khimik (4:5).
In the first away game with Ryazan, the team from St. Petersburg conceded four goals in the second period, managing to respond with only one goal. There were no more goals scored in that match.
The visitors are currently in 12th place in the tournament table, but due to the high density of results, even one failure could see them leave the playoff zone, while a win could see them break into the top 10. In short, the match will be tough, and they need to try to give it their all to get some points.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- SKA-Neva has problems with victories
The away team cannot win for three games in a row
- The St. Petersburg club has problems in defense
In the last three matches they haven't conceded less than three goals

1.72Tip and bets
The hosts sometimes give in to weakness in matches with teams that are at the bottom of the standings, but when they have to play with more serious opponents, the Voskresensk team gives it their all. The St. Petersburg club can be considered one of them. Yes, the visitors are not in their best shape now, but Khimik will clearly not play relaxed, as it understands perfectly well that the upcoming opponent is very serious and dangerous, and it is necessary to play with full force.
Our prediction is a victory for Khimik with odds of 1.79
Bet on total
In three of the last four head-to-head matches, the teams scored at least six goals between them. They failed to do so in a friendly game, and in a match six days ago, they scored nine times. We believe that the upcoming match will not be boring either, and the teams will once again break the over-total.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals for 1.99
Bet on the outcome of the first period
In two of the last three matches, the St. Petersburg club started the match better and went into the break after the first period winning the score.
Prediction: SKA-Neva wins in the first period for 2.25
