On January 6, Yugra will host Dynamo from St. Petersburg at the arena of the same name in Khanty-Mansiysk. The hosts have not been able to win in the last three games, but today they intend to show brilliant hockey against the season leader. However, this will not be easy, since the “white-blues” look much stronger and more powerful. Will Yugra be able to give the opponent a fight and what bets should be played in the match? The answer is in our forecast
Command Analysis
Ugra Khanty-Mansiysk
Russian FederationCurrent form
After a disastrous start to the championship, the club management decided to replace Sergei Reshetnikov as head coach and they were right. Alexander Perov made adjustments to the game, and the changes began to bring results, but the "mammoths" lost in the past three games. In the last confrontation, the team met with "Zauralye" in Kurgan. The match was a two-edged struggle and ended with the defeat of "Ugra" (2:3). The team was leading by two goals during the meeting, but then in the second 20 minutes they conceded three goals, and the score did not change until the final siren. The team was weaker in the match against "Omskie Krylia" (1:2) a game earlier. In the last eight out of 10 meetings, the "mammoths" have not lost in regular time and have won six of them. As a result, the team has 46 points and is in 15th place in the tournament table. The whole fight is ahead, the opponents from the top five show much better play and results, and the Khanty-Mansiysk team will fight for the highest places in the VHL. Most likely, the experience gained in the Continental Hockey League will help the Yugra team achieve the desired result.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club averages 2.4 goals per game per season
- The team has lost to its opponent only twice in the past seven head-to-head games.

Bet on total
This pair is expected to have a closed game dictated by the visiting team, which will gain a comfortable advantage and bring the game to a logical conclusion. The hosts have been scoring little lately, and the visitors have rarely upset their opponents in the past two games. We believe that the goal-scoring extravaganza will not take place, as in the last three matches of Yugra out of five.
Forecast - total under 4.5 goals with odds of 1.85
Bet on individual total
In the last five matches, Yugra scored two goals on average and showed a good attacking game. We can assume that the Khanty-Mansiysk club will score more than two goals against its opponent, since it has not scored less in two head-to-head matches in a row.
Forecast - individual total of "Ugra" more than two goals for 1.70
