Command Analysis

Avto Yekaterinburg

Current form
The club from Yekaterinburg has been showing a decent game this season and looks much more confident than in the last MHL championship. However, in the last playoffs, Avto reached the 1/8 finals, and it is necessary to make every effort to overcome the bar of the last Kharlamov Cup this year. The team was able to win 18 victories and suffered four defeats less in 32 calendar meetings, which allowed it to score 38 points and take seventh place in the Golden Division of the Eastern Conference. The team is 11 points ahead of the last Siberian Snipers, which gives a confident chance to get at least to the play-in. In the last game, the club played at home against the Krasnoyarsk Lynxes and won. The game was an equal fight, but the team did not give up the initiative to the opponent and thus won a hard-fought victory 4:2 in the end. This success was the fifth in a row. The game before, the team from Yekaterinburg was stronger than Stalnye Lisy (3:2) in Magnitogorsk, where they did not lose in any of the periods.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team scores three goals per game
- The club has not lost in any of the periods in the last five matches

AKM Novomoskovsk

Current form
In November last year, there were changes in the coaching staff of AKM-Novomoskovsk. The team was headed by Alexey Verbitsky. He replaced Alexey Khramtsov, who will continue to work with the team as a coach, but it will be very difficult to change the structure of the game, and the selection of players is weak. The team has been showing a terrible game since the start of the championship and has completely failed the MHL championship in its first season. Tula deservedly occupies the last place in the tournament table in the Silver Division of the Eastern Conference with nine points to its credit. The team was able to win only three victories in 34 games, scored only 51 goals and conceded 161 goals, which is the worst indicator in the youth hockey league. In the last game, the team lost to Omskie Yastreby in overtime, and the game before that, it suffered a crushing defeat on home ice from Belye Medvedi (2:10).
Interesting trends for betting
- The club has conceded an average of 4.7 goals per game this season.
