Command Analysis

Zvezda Chekhov

Current form
At the start of the championship, Zvezda showed brilliant results, lost very rarely and was the leader of the VHL. However, Rinat Khasanov's team slowed down and gradually dropped to the middle of the standings, showing not very confident results. At this stage, the team from Moscow cannot find its game, suffered three defeats in the last five matches, left the playoff zone, occupies 17th place in the standings and lags behind the TOP 16 only in additional indicators. However, the squad's position is shaky, as the catch-up is not far behind and is on their heels. In the last confrontation, the "army" met at home with the Saratov "Crystal" and won 4-2, losing only in the second period. The team had failed to resist the Samara CSK VVS a game earlier, losing 1-3 in the end. In 48 confrontations, the CSKA farm club won 26 victories with 22 defeats, scored 157 goals and conceded 140 goals.

Dizel Penza

Current form
Diesel failed the last championship and could not make it to the playoffs, as it took a place in the second twenty and intends to make up for lost time. After the change of the head coach, the team's game became more attacking. The Dieselists have gained momentum, improved their position and are fighting for entry into the Petrov Cup playoffs. Recently, Penza residents have started to pamper the fans with results and have won eight victories in the last 10 confrontations. The team's game has started to improve, and let's see how much time and energy the squad has left in pursuit of the TOP 16, where the gap is only one point. Since the start of the championship, the team has won 26 victories with 24 losses and scored 123 goals. In the last meeting, the squad lost to Unison (5:2), and the game before it was defeated in St. Petersburg by SKA Neva (1:4). Diesel is on the 19th line in the standings with 56 points in the asset and intends to play in the matches this season.
Interesting betting trends

1.97The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the "Star"
In 2 of the last 3 matches, the Army team won in the third period.
2.40Tip and bets
In this confrontation, we will give preference to the owners of the ice. The Moscow team is fighting for the TOP 16 and has not been playing well lately, but today it intends to rehabilitate itself. Zvezda may well be the winner today, and she outplayed her opponent in the last face-to-face match in her arena.
The forecast is the victory of the "Star" with a coefficient of 2.02
Bet on the total
Both teams prefer an attacking style of play. However, in a recent face-to-face match, the opponents scored five goals between them, and the last meetings in the championship of the opponents were not very productive. We believe that the scoring extravaganza will take place.
The forecast is a total of less than 5.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.63
Betting on an individual total
Zvezda has no problems with dropped pucks. In six of the last eight matches, the team has scored at least three goals, and we expect the Army team to score at least three goals.
The forecast is that the individual total of the "Star" is more than 2.5 goals in 1.75
