Command Analysis

Ugra Khanty-Mansiysk

Current form
Yugra is a fairly well-off club by VHL standards. The stability that the team lacked in its time in the KHL, the Khanty-Mansiysk team has found in full. But this year there was a small glitch - the fans clearly did not expect ninth place after 45 matches. Moreover, the team main problems are not in defense - in terms of scoring, Yugra is in a terrible 22nd place in the league, and only 112 goals have been scored. However, in previous years, the mammoths were one of the most scoring clubs. In the last confrontation, the team met on the opponent ice with Diesel from Penza. The match was dictated by the Diesel players and ended with a convincing victory for the hosts. The Yugorsk team was unable to realize their created moments and suffered a crushing defeat 0:6 in the end. The team beat Kristall (2:0) in Saratov the game before. As a result, the team has 58 points and is in ninth place in the tournament table. The entire fight for the Petrov Cup playoffs is ahead, and the Khanty-Mansiysk team has a lead of only five points over Moscow Zvezda, which is in 17th place and is also not averse to fighting in the knockout matches.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club averages 2.5 goals per game per season
- The team has not lost to its opponent in the last three face-to-face games

Gornyak Uchaly

Current form
Gornyak has never grabbed stars from the sky and has never even passed the barrier of the second round of the Petrov Cup playoffs. However, twice he sent the recognized top teams of the VHL, Novokuznetsk Metallurg and Yugra, on vacation after the first round. Now Alexey Alexeyev charges are in second place, two points behind St. Petersburg Dynamo, and are also the most productive team in the league by far, differing in style of play from many rivals in the championship. The team (and the entire league) top scorer Andrey Grishakov recently played his first match in the KHL in five years, but was unable to score. The team from Verkhnyaya Pyshma was unable to break Rubin resistance on the opponent ice in the last game. The match in Tyumen was a double-edged struggle and ended with the team defeat 1:2 in the end. The team emerged victorious in the match against Rostov (3:2 SO) the game before. This victory was the 27th of the season. Before these meetings, Gornyak-UMMC won a home victory over Buran and lost to Tambov in overtime.
Interesting trends for betting
- Gornyak-UMMC has lost only once in regulation time in the last 10 games

2.25Tip and bets
In this confrontation, bookmakers put the hosts as a slight favorite. The club from Khanty-Mansiysk intends to win the fourth face-to-face victory in a row. Ugra shows confident results from match to match and will cause a lot of problems for the visiting team. We believe that Alexander Perov team will win the confrontation based on experience.
Betting Tip - Yugra win with odds of 1.82
Bet on total
This pair is expected to play on opposite courses with a large number of scoring chances. The visitors score plenty, but the hosts do not score so much. The opponents finished the last four face-to-face matches out of five with a total under. With the hosts' unconvincing attack, it is difficult to count on a goal extravaganza.
Betting Tip - total under 4.5 goals with odds of 2.02
Bet on individual total
In the last five matches, Yugra has scored an average of two goals and is showing an uncertain attacking game. We can assume that the Khanty-Mansiysk club will score no more than two goals against its opponent, since the visitors have not conceded more than two goals in three matches in a row.
Betting Tip - individual total of Yugra less than 2.5 goals for 2.05
