Command Analysis

HC Chelny

Current form
The representative of Naberezhnye Chelny debuted at a new level last season and became the worst team of all the newcomers, and the last place speaks of the team unpreparedness for games with more powerful clubs. The team management recently changed the head coach, and we'll see if this move will give a positive result. Of course, it too early to talk about the playoffs, and the gap from the TOP-16 cannot be made up. The team was able to win 18 victories in 45 games and scored 116 goals, which speaks of a good attack line. In the last calendar confrontation, the team lost on home ice to Izhstal, finishing the match with a score of 1:2 and not fulfilling the developed game plan. The club was able to cope with Molot on the road in the previous game, where the Chelny team realized the majority in the extra period - 2:1 in the end. Oleg Marzoev charges are in a modest 28th place in the tournament table and have only 38 points. The team has already suffered 26 defeats, and Chelny has missed 146 goals.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team concedes 3.2 goals per game per season
- The club from Naberezhnye Chelny has been unable to defeat its opponent in three games in a row

Toros Neftekamsk

Current form
The team from Neftekamsk is a three-time winner of the Bratina Cup. Let us recall that last season Toros managed to get into the playoffs, but in the 1/8 finals suffered a 1:4 defeat in the series from Tula AKM. This season, Toros' game is not going well, and they have not yet been able to get close to the 16 best. Evgeny Fedorov charges lack luck in the final stage, and they also need to restore order in defense - 134 goals have been missed. In the last away match, the team lost to Bars. The match was a tough fight and ended 3:3 in the end, but Kazan emerged victorious in overtime. The team lost to Norilsk the previous game (0:2), where they were unable to convert the scoring chances they created, and the goal they missed while short-handed in the third period played a significant role in the final result. The club is in 25th place in the league table and will most likely be left without knockout matches in this championship. The team has earned 45 points, won 21 times with 23 losses and is eight points behind the TOP-16, which will be very difficult to win back.
