Molot – Chaika: forecast for the MHL match
In Perm, on February 7, Molot will host Nizhny Novgorod Chaika at the arena of the same name. The rivals have shown combat hockey in their last games and intend to fight seriously again. The guests have secured a place in the playoffs, but the hosts are still unable to break into the top three in the Silver Division. Let's see how the opponents' coaching staffs prepared their players for today's battle. Who will be the winner in the confrontation and what are the stakes?

Command Analysis

Molot-Prikamye Perm Juniors

Current form
For the current championship, Molot has the goal of reaching the top three, but so far, little has been achieved in terms of results and quality of play. The Bears were unable to beat the Irbis in the last calendar game. The squad did not give Kazan a lot of free space and defended well. The game was basically played on equal terms, but the final siren recorded a 1-0 victory for the guests from Kazan. This defeat was the sixth in the last 10 games. The game before, Alexander Ageev's team beat Tyumen Legion in the extra period. At this stage, the fourth place in the standings of the "Silver" division of the Eastern Conference, 45 points in the asset, and the gap from the third "Reactor" reached seven points. Permian youth has never been famous for outstanding results in the MHL, and it has not been possible to get to the Kharlamov Cup playoffs this season.
Interesting betting trends
- In the past nine meetings, the team has moved the game into the extra period five times.
- On average, the team concedes 2.9 goals per game.

Chaika

Current form
The club from Nizhny Novgorod failed to defend the title of the Kharlamov Cup winner in the last championship, and it will be very difficult to do so in this MHL draw. The opponents are playing a great game and look an order of magnitude stronger than the Seagulls, but the playoffs will be a completely different game. The team looks confident this season, acts selflessly on the court and secured a place in the matches through and through. After 39 confrontations, the squad was able to win 27 victories, scored 124 goals, but suffered 12 defeats and conceded 94 goals. Nizhny Novgorod occupy the fourth place in the standings of the "Golden" division of the Eastern Conference and has 59 points in the asset, five points behind the leader of the "Mammoths of Ugra", and have two games less. In the last match, the team led by Dmitry Gogolev beat the Tyumen Legion on the road (4:3), and the club played at home against Irbis the game before and was able to win a labor victory with the same score.
Interesting betting trends
- The club has lost only once in the last 10 games.
- The team scores an average of 3.2 goals per match

Betting on the outcome
In this confrontation, the bookmakers make the guests the favorite, which will not be easy at all. Molot is holding a meeting in its home arena, where it looks good and intends to defeat the opponent, having learned all the shortcomings of the last match against Irbis.

The forecast is that Molot will not lose with a coefficient of 1.72

Molot has been having problems offensively lately, and the team has scored only nine goals in the past five confrontations. We believe that the hosts will be able to upset the opponent's goalkeeper no more than twice.
