Command Analysis
Kristall Saratov
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Saratov club has never been famous for outstanding results, and if they get to the Petrov Cup playoffs, it will be a real sensation and a holiday for all Saratov fans. The coaching staff has done a lot of work since the start of the championship, made adjustments to all lines and the team began to look much more confident, but it is not possible to fight for the 16 best, since the team lacks skill and experience. The team has been showing an uncertain game lately, but can play on equal terms with more experienced teams in the VHL, which it proved in the last home match. In the last match, Sergei Golobovich charges showed character, were able to break the resistance of the Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo-Gorky, which had gained amazing momentum (2:1), scoring a puck in the second and third 20-minute periods. But the game before, the club lost away to Toros (2:3). The team is in 28th place in the standings, has 31 points behind it, and it won’t be able to make up the gap of a dozen points from the playoff zone before the end of the regular season.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Saratov Kristall scores 2.1 goals per game
- The team has suffered seven defeats in its last 10 home games.
Ryazan
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Ryazan club cannot put the results of the past season on the list of its assets, as it failed to make it to the playoffs of the Petrov Cup and took a place in the second twenty. In the off-season, the team did a lot of work, rotated the roster and intends to fight for the highest places. The team under the leadership of Anatoly Fedotov has shown brilliant results in the current VHL draw and there is no doubt about it. The club faces the task of reaching the playoffs of the Petrov Cup. The team is fighting at the proper level in the regular championship and occupies the second line in the tournament table, lagging behind the leader St. Petersburg Dynamo by only four points and has played two more games, but the catchers have come close and are not lagging behind. In the last game, the Ryazan team suffered a crushing defeat from CSK VVS (2:5), and the game before that they beat Diesel in Penza in a shootout. It is worth noting that the team has suffered only four defeats in 15 previous matches and today intends to get on the nerves of the club from Saratov.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club concedes an average of two goals per game
- The team has not lost in the third period in four of its last five games.

2.60Tip and bets
In this confrontation, bookmakers put the guests as the favorites, and it is hard to disagree with that. Kristall is fighting at the bottom of the tournament table and looks much weaker than its opponent. Ryazan is playing on the opponent ice, has won the last three face-to-face games and intends to gain the upper hand again. The visiting club has a more balanced team composition, which will allow it to win the match.
Prediction: Ryazan wins the match with odds of 1.63
Bet on total
This pair is likely to feature a counterattack game with a small number of scoring opportunities. It is worth noting that in two of the three visitor games, less than 4.5 goals were scored, and we believe that the goal-scoring extravaganza will not take place, as in the last face-to-face match between the opponents
Forecast - total under 4.5 goals with odds of 1.65
Bet on individual total
Ryazan hasn't had any problems in attack lately, but the hosts have some problems in defense. In the past five matches, the Ryazan club has scored a devil dozen goals, and we can assume that the visitors will score more than two goals.
Forecast - individual total of "Ryazan" more than two goals for 1.65
