However, if you don't make mistakes, you can earn two points. How will the confrontation end and what bets should I place? The answer is in our forecast

Command Analysis

Bars Kazan

Current form
The club from Kazan can take the last game segment as a credit. The team seems to be showing meaningful hockey, fighting at the proper level, but alternating victories with defeats. In the last five matches, the squad has won only two victories, and all of them were in regular time. Alexander Stepanov's team beat Tambov 3-2 on their own ice in the last match. Kazan looked good, and the abandoned pucks in the first and second periods were fatal for the guests. The squad had lost a game earlier with a crushing score of 1-6 to AKM in Tula. Since the beginning of the championship, Bars has won 25 victories and scored 137 goals, with 26 defeats and 155 goals conceded. After 51 games, the team is on the 18th line in the standings with 57 points in the asset and is inferior to rivals from the TOP 16 by only one point, which can be safely won back if you do not make ridiculous mistakes, especially in home matches with neighbors in the table.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the club concedes 2.7 goals per game.
- The team has put the game into overtime only once in the last 10 games.

Buran Voronezh

Current form
The Voronezh team has never won the Petrov Cup in its history, and it has never reached the finals. Last season, Buran was able to make it to the playoffs, but left the tournament at the first stage. In the current VHL championship, the Hurricanes are playing a good game, fighting for the playoff spot and have already changed their head coach during the season. Before the away series of games, Buran played four home matches, where they won only two victories. The Voronezh team failed the last matches on their ice and were able to earn only two points in the last three games. In the last match, the Hurricanes outplayed Norilsk in the Jubilee (5:2), and the games before they suffered a crushing defeat from Metallurg Novokuznetsk (3:8) and Sokol Krasnoyarsk (3:5). Philip Metlyuk's men are in 19th place in the standings, have won 24 victories in 51 games and were able to score 149 goals. The gap from the top 16 teams in the league is only one point, which is very easy to win back. Let's see if the coaching staff has worked on the mistakes and how they prepared the team for today's battle.
Interesting betting trends
- The team concedes an average of 2.8 goals.
- In the last five games, Buran has conceded as many as 20 goals in regular time.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last three meetings of the hosts, more than 1.5 goals were scored in the first period.
1.86Bet 2nd period: victory of "Barca"
In 2 of the last 3 matches, Kazan won in the second period.
2.44Tip and bets
In this confrontation, the bookmakers put the owners of the ice as a small favorite. The Kazan team has gained good form, has recently shown a confident game and intends to leave the opponent from Voronezh out of business again. It is quite possible that Bars will outplay Buran, as in the last face-to-face game.
The forecast is a victory for Barca with a coefficient of 2.18
Bet on the total
Both teams prefer a defensive style of play. In the last face-to-face match in Kazan, the opponents scored five goals between them, and Barca's last three out of five meetings were not very productive. We believe that the scoring extravaganza will most likely not take place.
The forecast is a total of less than 5.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Barca has no problems with dropped goals. In seven of the last 10 matches, the team has scored at least two goals and intends to score a lot against the opponent again. We expect the hosts to score at least three goals.
The forecast is that Barca's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 1.68 seconds.
