"Yuzhny Ural" - "Toros": forecast for the VHL match
On December 29, Yuzhny Ural will host Toros from Neftekamsk at its arena in Orsk. The hosts look good this season and are currently fighting in the playoff zone, but the visitors have not been in optimal shape since the start of the championship and are playing uncertainly. Will Yuzhny Ural be able to continue its winning streak and what bets should be played? The answer is in our forecast
Command Analysis
Yuzhny Ural Orsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
The team will most likely make it to the Petrov Cup playoffs this season, as it has a good lead over its rivals fighting for the TOP-16. The VHL standings are very tight and every point lost by the club can cost more than one place. This season, the club will try to achieve the highest achievement and show its best hockey. The season is going well, and Vladislav Otmakhov team is on a streak of five victories in a row. After 38 games, the team has won 24 victories and suffered only 14 defeats with 85 goals conceded and 99 goals scored. In the last confrontation, the team was able to cope with Izhstal on home ice (2:0), scoring a goal in the second and third periods. The team played against Olimpia a game earlier and emerged victorious 3:1. At this stage, they have 52 points and are in eighth place in the standings, just three points behind second-placed Rubin. The fight for the playoffs will continue after the new year, and we'll see what the club has in store for us after a short break.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the club scores 2.6 goals per game per season
- The team has not experienced the bitterness of defeat on home ice in 12 games in a row
Toros Neftekamsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
This season, Toros' game is not going well at all and they have not been able to get close to the top 16 yet. Evgeny Fedorov charges lack skill in the final stages, and they also need to clean up their defense - they have conceded 119 goals. In the last away match, the team won against Magnitka. The match was played under the dictation of the club from Neftekamsk, which scored two goals against the opponent and won with a score of 2:0. The team lost the game before in Verkhnyaya Pyshma to Gornyak-UGMK, where they were able to realize the scoring chances they created, but the game plan they had developed was not executed. The defeat was 2:3, which was the 20th since the start of the championship. The club occupies 25th place in the standings, but intends to fight for a place in the playoffs and, most likely, will be left without knockout matches in this championship. The team earned 38 points, won 18 games with 108 goals scored and is seven points behind the TOP-16, which will be very difficult to win back.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team scores 2.8 goals per game
- The club has been unable to defeat its opponent for three matches in a row

2.50Tip and bets
In this confrontation, bookmakers put the hosts as the sole favorites, and we will give preference to the team from Orsk. Yuzhny Ural has won 12 of its last home games and intends to continue such a successful series. Vyacheslav Otmakhov charges will use the developed game plan, and we can assume that they will finish the year with a confident victory with the support of loyal fans in Orsk.
Forecast - victory of "Yuzhny Ural" with a coefficient of 2.15
Bet on total
In this pair, the game is planned to be dictated by the hosts with a small number of scoring opportunities. The opponents have not been scoring many goals in recent games, and we believe that the goal-scoring extravaganza will not take place, as in the last two matches in a row of the home team.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.65
Bet on individual total
Yuzhny Ural has been showing confident play since the beginning of the season and has scored at least two goals in the last five matches. We can assume that the hosts will be able to score more than two goals again.
Forecast - individual total of "Yuzhny Ural" more than 2.5 goals for 1.77
