Command Analysis

Torpedo Gorky

Current form
One can only admire the results of the Nizhny Novgorod club this season. The team returned to the VHL after a long absence and is not inferior to its rivals in class, and even looks stronger than many in the regular championship. The club plays with full dedication, fights for every centimeter of ice and has the opportunity to claim the Petrov Cup, but it is too early to talk about it. Alexey Isakov charges cause a lot of problems for more famous opponents, which they proved in the last calendar match, where the team fought on their arena with the leader St. Petersburg Dynamo. The meeting was held on equal terms and ended in a fighting draw 2:2, but in the shootout the Nizhny Novgorod team turned out to be more accurate. The game before, Torpedo-Gorky left no chance for Moscow Zvezda (3:0). At this stage, the fourth line in the tournament table, 46 points in the asset and only four points behind the second Ryazan. The team scored 107 goals during the season and has a goal difference of plus 19.

Yunison Moscow

Current form
Last season, Unison played in the NMHL, took first place in the championship, won the playoff final and is now trying its hand at the VHL. The start of the season for the club was not going well at all. Unison is gradually getting used to the new league, but in recent games it has been showing an uncertain game, and the Muscovites have not yet gained experience. The team has suffered 12 defeats in the past 15 matches and is fighting at the bottom of the standings. In the last game, the team lost on away ice to AKM (2:5), and in the game before that, it lost with a crushing score of 3:7 to the same Tula club, only playing on its home ice. It is worth noting the recent victory over one of the VHL leaders, Khimik (3:2). At this stage, there are 24 points in the asset and a modest 31st place in the tournament table, and below are only Izhstal and Olimpia, which have only one point less. The team was weaker than its opponents in 24 matches, which is the worst indicator in the championship.
