Khimik – Neftyanik: forecast for the VHL match
Khimik will host the Almetyevsk Neftyanik in Voskresensk on February 5. The hosts won the Petrov Cup two years ago and are not averse to once again lifting the trophy over their heads, having all the prerequisites for this. Let's see what the Spartak Moscow farm club has prepared for us in the game with the current trophy winner. Will the hosts be able to win the victory and what bets will they play in the match? The answer is in our forecast
Command Analysis
Khimik Voskresensk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Since the start of the regular season, Khimik has been in the leadership group, but it does not claim to win the regular season, and this, in principle, does not matter. All the fun will start in the matches through and through. The Blue-Yellows played 49 matches and managed to score 64 points, which correspond to seventh place in the standings. In the last 10 matches, Voskresensk scored 50% of the wins and were able to earn 10 points. In the last confrontation, the team met on its own ice in Voskresensk with Naberezhnye Chelny. The match turned out to be eventful. Egor Bashkatov's team had to fight back, as the Naberezhnye Chelny club led 2-0 in the score after the second period. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, and in overtime the Spartak farm club put the squeeze on the opponent. A game earlier, the Moscow region squad failed to beat Bars (2:3), and this failure was the 20th for the club since the start of the championship. The 169 goals scored by Khimik are the second highest in the league after Gornyak. The gap from the top five is five points and the whole fight is still ahead.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last five meetings, the team has scored an average of two goals.
- In the last 10 games, the club suffered five defeats.
Neftyanik Almetyevsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Neftyanik clearly shows how it can intrigue the All-Russian Hockey League. Back in the spring, the team lifted the trophy over its head, and now it is in 25th place and, quite likely, will remain without matches through and through. It will not be possible to single out any one problem from the current champion - their complex is too extensive. The team's lineup has changed, and last year's heroes are probably burned out, and the Ak Bars reinforcements are fighting in the KHL. Artyom Anisimov's team has recently gained momentum and in the away series of games they were able to earn two points in two matches. It all started with a 3-1 victory over Torpedo Gorky, following the plan developed by the coaching staff, but then the club lost to Ryazan (2-3). More than half of the championship is behind us, and there are no prerequisites for defending the title earned last year. After 48 confrontations, Neftyanik won 21 victories, has 49 points in the asset and is eight points behind Voronezh Buran from 16th place, which will not be easy to win back.
Interesting betting trends
- Since the beginning of the season, the team has been conceding an average of three goals per game.
- The club has not lost to an opponent in four consecutive matches.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks

In the last two matches, the Voskresenskys won in the third period.
2.25Tip and bets
In this confrontation, the bookmakers put up the undisputed favorite of the owners of the ice. The Voskresenskaya team has been acting selflessly on the court, has been showing a good game lately and intends to take revenge on the opponent. Khimik, quite possibly, will outplay Neftyanik today, leaving no chance for the opponent.
The forecast is a victory for Khimik with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on the total
Both teams prefer an attacking style of play. However, in the last face-to-face match in Voskresensk, the opponents scored two goals for two. The last three meetings of the Voskresensk team in a row were not very productive, and we believe that the scoring extravaganza will not take place.
The forecast is a total of less than 5.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.78
Betting on an individual total
Khimik has no problems with abandoned pucks. In nine of the last 10 matches, the team has scored at least two goals, and the visitors have conceded the same number of goals on average in the last 10 games. We expect the hosts to score at least two goals.
The forecast is that Khimik's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 1.55
