АКМ-Юниор vs Russkie Vityazi Prediction and Betting Tips (09.01.2025)

Command Analysis

АКМ-Юниор

Russian Federation

Current form

The Tula team has been playing in the MHL for several seasons now, but they have not been able to show a powerful and brilliant game year after year. And there is no point in talking about the playoffs at all, since the club has not been able to solve such problems yet. In the last championship, the team took eighth place in the Silver Division of the Western Conference and, as always, was left without playoff matches. The MHL championship has not been very successful for the team from Tula. The team suffered 23 defeats, scored only 75 goals, and at the same time conceded 132 goals and won only 10 victories. In the last game, the team met with Karelian SKA-GUOR in Kondopoga and beat the opponent. The regular time of the match ended in a 2:2 draw, and in overtime, Alexey Verbitsky's charges finished off the opponent. The game before, the juniors of the Mikhailov Academy emerged victorious in the match against the same opponent - 3:1 in the end. At this stage, ninth place in the tournament table and 22 points to their credit.

Russian Federation

Current form

The youth of Vityaz, playing in the KHL, has never been famous for its brilliant play and results, and winning the Kharlamov Cup has never been discussed. The team first needs to gain experience and get into the Golden Division, and then we can talk about the playoffs. The team failed to start the regular championship of the 2024-2025 season in many indicators, both statistics and games, but in this period it has corrected its position and continues to fight for the top three in the Silver Division of the Western Conference. In the last confrontation, the Russian Vityazi won their fourth victory in a row, beating Stupino Kapitan (2:1). The game before, Maxim Betz's charges left no chance for the same opponent, winning 3:2 after 60 minutes of play. The team is in fourth place in the Silver Division and has 35 points to its credit, fighting for third place with Moscow's Krylia Sovetov, who are three points behind, but they cannot catch up with the leaders Dynamo-Shinnik and Krasnaya Armiya.

Interesting trends for betting

In the last 15 games, the club suffered as many as 12 defeats

Tip and bets

1.75Victory of the Russian Knights

In this confrontation, bookmakers put the guests as the favorites, and it is hard to disagree with this. The Russian Knights are playing on someone else's arena and will most likely take advantage of their stronger lineup and win. The team from Chekhov is only set on winning, and we believe that they will impose a tough fight on their opponent from Tula and continue their series of four unbeaten matches in a row.

Betting Tip - victory of the Russian Knights with a coefficient of 1.75

In this pair, the guests will have the advantage, will get a comfortable advantage and bring the game to a logical conclusion. It is worth paying attention to the fact that in the last four matches of AKM-Junior, less than six goals were scored, and we believe that in this confrontation, too, a goal extravaganza will not take place.

Betting Tip - total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.87

Bet on individual total

The hosts have problems in attack, and the team has scored an average of two goals since the beginning of the season. We believe that the Tula team will not be able to upset the opponent's goalie more than twice.
