Command Analysis

Torpedo Gorky

Current form
One can only admire the results of the Nizhny Novgorod club this season. The team returned to the VHL after a long absence and is not inferior to its rivals in class, and even looks stronger and stronger than many rivals in the regular championship. The club plays with full dedication, fights for every centimeter of ice, and has the opportunity to claim the Petrov Cup, but it is too early to talk about it. Alexey Isakov's charges cause a lot of problems for more famous rivals, which they have proven more than once since the start of the championship. In the last match, the team fought on its arena with Gornyak-UGMK. The meeting was held on equal terms and ended in a fighting draw 4:4, but in overtime the club from Verkhnyaya Pyshma was stronger. The game before, Torpedo-Gorky was unable to beat Saratov Crystal (1:2). At this stage, they are in fifth place in the standings, with 55 points and only two points behind second-placed Rubin. The team has scored 122 goals during the season and has a goal difference of plus 22.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the club concedes 2.5 goals per game

Chelmet Chelyabinsk

Current form
The team's minimum goal this season is to get into the top 16 teams in the league and try to fight for the Petrov Cup, since the team cannot count the past season as a result. Most likely, this threshold will be reached, since the Chelyabinsk team has improved its game in the final stage and was able to win 20 victories since the beginning of the season, but is currently outside the playoff zone. Of course, the team failed to start in the VHL, but then corrected the situation and began to gain the coveted points. In the last confrontation, Marat Askarov's charges won a very important victory, beating Toros at home (6:3), but in the previous game they suffered a football defeat with a score of 0:1 from Izhstal, having missed a puck in the second 20 minutes while short-handed. The club has scored 117 goals and has a goal difference of plus 11. The team is only two points behind its TOP-16 rivals and the coaching staff needs to make every effort to achieve the result set by the management.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club has suffered six defeats in its last 10 matches
- On average, 5.5 goals are scored in the team's games
