"Sokol" - "Chelny" forecast for the VHL match
On December 23, Sokol will host Chelny at its arena in Krasnoyarsk. The season is going well for the guests, but they will not be able to fight for the TOP-16, while the hosts are showing very weak results and risk being the last in the VHL. However, you should not underestimate the Krasnoyarsk team, otherwise you can lose. How will the confrontation end and what bets should you play? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Sokol Krasnoyarsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
The current VHL championship is going badly for the Krasnoyarsk club and the team will most likely be left without knockout matches and for the second year in a row will not create a sensation by getting into the playoff zone at the very end of the championship. It is worth noting that last season it was Sokol that closed the TOP-16. The "feathered ones" have looked weak lately, there is a complete mess in defense, and in the final stage the game is not going at all. In 35 past games the club has won only 10 victories, and in the last nine matches it has lost. Sokol played the last match on the opponent ice and suffered a defeat from Norilsk (3:5), which was the 25th defeat of the team this season. Also, the Krasnoyarsk team lost the previous match with a score of 1:2 in overtime to Novokuznetsk Metallurg. At this stage, the team is located on a modest penultimate line in the tournament table and has 27 points to its credit, ahead of the last Unison by only three points, but it cannot catch up with the 16 best in this championship.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team concedes 3.2 goals per game
- The team has lost its last three home games
HC Chelny
Russian FederationCurrent form
The representative of Naberezhnye Chelny debuted at a new level last season and became the worst team of all the newcomers, and the last place speaks of the team unpreparedness for games with more powerful clubs. In preparation for the current regular championship, the coaching staff rotated the roster, brought order to all lines and fights on equal terms with more experienced and famous opponents. It is too early to talk about the playoffs, and the gap from the TOP-16, most likely, will not be made up. The team was able to win 16 victories in 38 games and scored 105 goals, which speaks of a good attack line. In the last calendar confrontation, the team lost on the away ice to Novokuznetsk Metallurg (1:2). The club failed to cope with Dynamo-Altai (1:2 B) in the away game in Barnaul, where the Chelny team was leading after the first period, but gave the advantage to the opponent. Alexander Sokolov team is in a modest 26th place in the tournament table and has only 34 points. The team has suffered 22 defeats and has already missed 130 goals against Chelny.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team concedes 3.4 goals per game per season.
- The club from Naberezhnye Chelny has not lost in the third period in three games in a row

3.85Tip and bets
In this pair, a game under the dictation of the guests with many dangerous attacks is planned. Chelny are not bad at implementing the created scoring chances, and in the past eight matches of the ten Krasnoyarsk players in the VHL, the total is higher. We believe that a goal extravaganza will take place in the confrontation.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.83
Bet on the outcome
In this confrontation, bookmakers put the home team as the favorite. However, Sokol has not been able to beat its opponents in nine previous matches, and today Chelny intends to continue the Krasnoyarsk club unsuccessful series. The team from Naberezhnye Chelny will use its experience and we can assume that a more powerful lineup will allow it to win over its opponent.
Forecast - Chelny wins the match with odds of 2.70
Bet on individual total
The hosts are not playing well in attack, and in the past five matches the club has scored 12 goals. We can assume that Krasnoyarsk will score no more than two goals, since in the last face-to-face match they scored only one goal against Chelny.
Forecast - Sokol individual total under 2.5 goals for 2.65
