Command Analysis

Loko

Current form
Yaroslavl is one of the most recognizable clubs in the MHL. Yaroslavl is proud not only of its main team, which is one of the favorites in the Western Conference, but also of its youth, which constantly pleases its fans and grows to the main team. Last season, Loko took first place in the regular championship, but failed to win the Kharlamov Cup. Oleg Tauber's charges took part in 34 matches of the current regular championship and earned 47 points, which allows the club to take fourth place in the Golden Division of the Western Conference, nine points behind the leader Spartak. The railroad workers have 23 victories, 134 goals and 11 defeats. At the moment, Yaroslavl is showing a good game, but in five past matches they suffered three defeats. In the last game, the railroad workers lost on their home ice to SKA-1946 (0:7), and in the game before that they were weaker than the army team (2:4).
Interesting trends for betting
- The team scores an average of four goals per game
- The club has failed to win in the third period in the last three games.

Amurskie Tigry

Current form
Amur Tigers are not showing a very confident game this season and cannot break into the top eight teams of their division. Compared to the last championship, the team is completely unpredictable and, most likely, the Khabarovsk team will go back to the Silver Division based on the results of the MHL championship. In the last match, Konstantin Bogdanovsky's charges suffered another defeat this season and were unable to fight back their opponent from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The match with Sakhalin Sharks ended in defeat for the Khabarovsk team (2:3 SO). The game before, the club from Khabarovsk was unable to beat Taifun from Vladivostok, losing with a score of 0:3 in the end, having missed all three goals in the third 20-minute period. The team scored 23 points in 28 matches and is in the last line of the tournament table. Khabarovsk has 10 wins, 18 losses and 84 goals conceded. The gap from the eighth line is only one point, which must be made up to get through to the play-in.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not been able to win in any of the periods in the last three games.
- The club has suffered defeats in eight of its last 10 matches
