"Sokol" - "Neftyanik" forecast for the VHL match
On December 25, Sokol will host Neftyanik at the Platinum Arena in Krasnoyarsk. The season is going well for the visitors, but they are unable to fight for the TOP-16 yet, while the hosts are showing terrible results and will be left without knockout matches this season. It will be tough for both clubs, and let see how the confrontation ends and what bets to play? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Sokol Krasnoyarsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
The current VHL championship is not going as the management wanted for the Krasnoyarsk club, and most likely, the "feathered ones" will not be able to get close to the playoff zone and will miss the Petrov Cup. "Sokol" has looked terrible lately, they need to put things in order in defense, and in the final stage the game is not going well at all. The club has won only four victories in 15 recent games, but plays on equal terms with its opponent. "Sokol" played the last match on its home ice and won a much-needed victory over "Chelny" (3:0), and for the first time in 18 games did not concede. But in the previous match, the Krasnoyarsk team lost 3:5 to "Norilsk". At this stage, the team is on a modest 30th place in the tournament table and has 29 points in the asset, lagging behind its opponents from the playoff zone by 15 points, and it cannot catch up with the 16 best in this championship. Lev Berdychevsky team has suffered 25 defeats since the start of the championship and has conceded 111 goals.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team scores 2.4 goals per game
- The team lost to its opponent in the last two matches
Neftyanik Almetyevsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
The current holder of the Petrov Cup cannot boast of its results at all at this stage. It will not be easy to climb into the TOP-16 in the regular championship of the current season, and the task for the club is barely feasible. Artem Anisimov charges are showing a weak game and do not follow the instructions of the coaching staff, which leads to unnecessary losses. The club has suffered eight defeats in the last 10 matches, and the team game is not going well. The away series for Neftyanik is going unsuccessfully. If in the first meeting with the Barnaul team the game was equal and the winner was determined in a shootout, then in the last game in Novokuznetsk the club lacked skill and persistence, and Metallurg used scoring opportunities and confidently won - 4:2 in the end. Most of the championship is behind us, and there are no prerequisites for defending the title earned last year. After 39 matches, the Almetyevsk team is in a lowly 24th place in the tournament table, has 38 points and is four points behind SKA-Neva in 16th place.
Interesting trends for betting
- Since the start of the season, the team has conceded an average of three goals per game.
- The club has suffered 10 defeats in its last 15 matches
Trends

2.80Tip and bets
This pair is expected to have a closed game dictated by the hosts with a minimum number of scoring chances. Recently, Sokol has been quite good at realizing the scoring chances it creates, but in the past two matches out of three Krasnoyarsk players in the VHL, the total was under. We believe that there will be no scoring extravaganza in the confrontation.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.72
Bet on the outcome
In this confrontation, bookmakers put the guests as a slight favorite. However, Sokol won the last home match and intends to continue showing a positive result today. The team from Krasnoyarsk will use its ice, and we can assume that the experienced team will allow them to win over their opponent.
Prediction: Sokol wins the match with odds of 1.92
Bet on individual total
The hosts are not playing well in attack, and in the past five matches the club has scored 12 goals. However, we can assume that Krasnoyarsk will score more than two goals, since in the past four face-to-face matches they have not scored less against their opponents.
Forecast - Sokol individual total is over 2.5 goals for 1.85
