On December 26, CSK VVS will host Tula AKM in Samara. The hosts have not been playing very confidently this season, but the visitors look much better.

Command Analysis
VVS Samara
Russian FederationCurrent form
The current championship is not going very well for the "army men", but the team has a fighting spirit and is resisting more famous opponents, which has been proven more than once. There can be no talk of knockout matches, but the Samara team will fray the nerves of many opponents fighting for the playoff zone until the end of the regular championship. The VHL championship is in full swing, and the "army men" have already suffered 24 defeats in 39 matches and conceded 111 goals. Sergei Shikhanov charges are in 29th place in the standings with 32 points, but in the past games they have gained good form and are selflessly acting on the court. It is worth noting that in the last four out of five confrontations the team was able to win, and in the last calendar match they even punished one of the leaders of the league. In the last game, the club managed to beat Voskresensk Khimik (3:1) on its home ice, scoring a goal in each period and conceding a goal in the majority. The team had won a crushing victory over Ryazan (5:2) the game before.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, CSK VVS concedes 2.8 goals per game
- The team has failed to beat its opponent in its last five games
AKM
Russian FederationCurrent form
In the last championship, the team was able to get to the final of the Petrov Cup and against the background of these events, the club management is making every effort to play in the KHL next season. However, the arena in Tula does not meet the standards of the elite of Russian hockey and there is talk of a merger of two teams, Togliatti Lada and AKM. Let see what comes of it. This season, the team is showing its game, but in the past 10 games it has won only four victories. The team is in good playing shape, shows attacking hockey and acts well in defense. In the last match, the club beat Penza Diesel on away ice (4:1), scoring a goal in the first two periods and two in the third. But in the previous game, Sergei Reshetnikov charges suffered a 0:1 football defeat from Tyumen Rubin, which became the 15th of the season. At this stage, the team has won 22 victories, scored 117 goals and earned 48 points. AKM is in 10th place in the tournament table and is fighting in the playoff zone at the proper level.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last five games, the team has scored five goals against its opponent
- In the last four games, AKM has not lost in the first period

1.98Tip and bets
In this confrontation, bookmakers put the guests as the favorites, who at this stage play more powerfully than the opponent from Samara. The Tula club is playing on someone else ice, won in the last five face-to-face matches and intends to continue the successful series. The visiting club has a more balanced team composition, which will allow it to win and will become a decisive factor in the match.
Prediction - AKM win with odds of 1.62
Bet on total
This pair is likely to feature a game on opposite courses with many scoring opportunities. However, in three of the five previous meetings, less than 5.5 goals were scored, and we believe that the goal-scoring extravaganza will not take place, as in the last match of the Tula club on the other ice.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.62
Bet on individual total
AKM has no problems in attack, but the hosts have some problems in face-to-face games with their counterpart. In the past five matches, the club from Tula scored 25 goals against the Samara team, and we can assume that the guests will still score at least three goals against the opponent.
Forecast - individual total of AKM more than three goals for 1.80
