"Zauralye" - "Yugra": forecast for the VHL match
On December 28, Zauralye will host Yugra from Khanty-Mansiysk at the Mostovik Arena in Kurgan. The hosts, after two away victories, were unable to please the public in Kurgan with a positive result, while the visitors unexpectedly lost in Omsk. Will the hosts be able to get another victory and force the opponent to play by their rules? What bets will play in the confrontation? The answer is in our forecast
Command Analysis
Zauralye Kurgan
Russian FederationCurrent form
The current championship is not going well for the Kurgan club, and the team has left the zone of the 16 best teams. The team has been showing a good game since the start of the championship, and is fighting on equal terms with opponents from the TOP-16, but often does not use the created scoring chances and thus loses points. The last game against Rubin was the first in a series of home games, and the team was unable to justify the hopes of fans and bookmakers. The club did not earn a single point and was defeated by the Tyumen team with a score of 1:2. The game before, the Kurgan team emerged victorious in the match against Omskie Krylia, beating the opponent in overtime. Zauralye has won only two victories in the last five games, and the team has suffered quite a few defeats this season - 18 failures. The club was able to score 93 goals and missed 86 goals. As a result, Artem Sedunov’s team has 42 points and is in 21st place in the standings, three points behind the playoff zone and has played three games less than 16th-placed Chelmet.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Zauralye scores 2.5 goals per season
- The club has failed to win in regulation time in five games in a row
Ugra Khanty-Mansiysk
Russian FederationCurrent form
In the last match, Yugra lost to Omskie Krylia in Omsk with a score of 1:2. The Mammoths scored their only goal in the opponents' net at the end of the third period, losing 0:2 at that time. The Mammoths' weak performance was probably influenced by the fact that the team had not had any matches for a long time and were a little out of shape. The coaching staff will draw conclusions and prepare their players for the next games. As of today, the Mammoths occupy 15th place in the VHL standings, have earned 46 points in 37 games and are three points ahead of their TOP-16 opponents who are chasing them. Let us recall that Alexander Perov team had previously won three victories in away matches. The team beat Rostov (3:1), Tambov (4:3 OT) and Buran (3:2 SO). However, the club lost to Rubin in a shootout. The entire fight for the top 16 is still ahead, but the opponents from the top five are showing much better play and results. The Khanty-Mansiysk team will fight for the highest places in the VHL.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club concedes an average of 2.2 goals per game per season
- The team lost to its opponent three times in the last five face-to-face games
