Command Analysis

Stalnye Lisy

Current form
The youth team of Magnitogorsk Metallurg has good prerequisites to get closer to the final of the Kharlamov Cup in the current season of the MHL. The Foxes look confident, act at high speed, but in some moments they lack skill. In the last calendar match, the team easily dealt with Yaroslavl Loko-76 and won a much-needed victory. The team seized the initiative from the first minutes, was able to fulfill the instructions of the head coach and kept their goal intact. The Steel Foxes beat their opponent from Yaroslavl with a score of 3:0 and retained their position in the league. This win was the 18th this season for the Magnitogorsk team, with 76 goals conceded. The game before, the club beat Krasnoyarsk Lynxes (2:1, OT). Stanislav Shumik team has 40 points and is in sixth place in the tournament table, five points behind the fifth-placed White Bears, but they are 15 points behind the leader, which they will not be able to make up this season.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team concedes 2.3 goals per game
- The team has not experienced the bitterness of defeat in six of the past 10 games

AKM Novomoskovsk

Current form
AKM-Novomoskovsk can’t find its game, it has suffered six defeats in a row, and the change of head coach hasn’t led to anything better. It will be very difficult for Alexey Verbitsky to make adjustments to all lines and change the game pattern, since the team 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. The Tula team deservedly occupies the last place in the tournament table in the Silver Division of the Eastern Conference with nine points. The team was able to win only three victories in 35 games, scored only 51 goals and conceded 163 goals, which is the worst indicator in the youth hockey league. In the last game, the team lost in Yekaterinburg to Avto (0:2), and the game before that, they suffered a defeat on their ice from Omskie Yastreby in overtime, ending the regular time with a score of 2:2.
Interesting trends for betting
