Command Analysis

Dynamo Altay

Current form
Many experts underestimate Dynamo-Altai, but the team has changed a lot, many newcomers have arrived, and the game pattern has changed. The coaching staff headed by Dmitry Parkhomenko has done a great job, and it remains to be hoped that the task of reaching the playoffs will be accomplished. Both on home and away ice, the team can upset anyone, which it has proven more than once this season. After an unsuccessful series of home games, where the club was able to earn only two points, the team went to Krasnoyarsk and was unable to defeat the "feathered ones" in the first match of the away series. The match with Sokol was an equal fight, but the Barnaul team still managed to win - 5:4 in the end. At this stage, Dynamo is in 20th place in the standings, has 38 points in the asset and is two points behind the last TOP-16 Zauralye.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last 10 matches the team suffered six defeats
- The club averages 2.7 goals per game

HC Chelny

Current form
The team from Naberezhnye Chelny took the last place last season, as it debuted at a new level for itself and did not gain experience. In the off-season, the team strengthened, noticeably improved and fights on equal terms with more experienced teams in the VHL. Of course, it is too early to talk about the playoffs, but theoretically there are chances at this stage of the regular season. The team has already managed to win 16 victories and scored 103 goals, more than last year for the entire championship. In the last calendar confrontation, the team beat Yuzhny Ural in Naberezhnye Chelny (2:0), scoring a goal in the second and third periods, but in the previous game it could not cope at home with Magnitogorsk Magnitka (2:7), where in the second period the Chelny team missed five goals. The team is in a modest 26th place in the tournament table and has only 33 points. Chelny have suffered 20 defeats and have already conceded 126 goals. The gap from the last line is nine points, and Alexander Sokolov charges are not going to repeat the "achievement" of the last regular season.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team scores 2.9 goals per game per season.
- The club from Naberezhnye Chelny has not lost in the first period in two games in a row
