Metallurg Novokuznetsk – Omsk Wings: forecast for the VHL match
Metallurg will host Omsk Wings on February 12 at its arena in Novokuznetsk. The guests' season is going badly, and they can't get to the TOP 16 either. But the hosts are showing brilliant results and fighting for the first place in the regular season. However, you should not underestimate each other, otherwise you can lose like that. How will the confrontation end and what bets should I place? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Metallurg Novokuznetsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
The coaching staff did a lot of work on mistakes before the start of the championship, and since the start of the new VHL draw, the squad has been playing a completely different game than last season. The team suffered its 17th defeat in the regular season in the last calendar match. Metallurg in the match against Kurgan "Trans-Urals" was less focused on winning and was unable to convert the created scoring chances into abandoned goals. The team lost to the guests from Kurgan (2:3B). The game before, the club beat Ugra (3:1), fulfilling a pre-developed game plan for the team's mentor, and did not allow the Khanty-Mansiysk club to create scoring chances. At this stage, Andrey Lunev's team has 76 points in the asset, the second place in the standings and lagging behind the first Dynamo from St. Petersburg are only additional indicators. The density in the standings is very high, and each lost point can cost more than one place.
Interesting betting trends
- In five consecutive games, the club has not lost in the second period.
- The team concedes two goals per game on average.
Omskie Krylia
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Omsk team's chances of reaching the Petrov Cup playoffs remain zero. After a not very successful home series, where in four matches only two victories were won over Magnitogorsk Magnitogorsk (4:1) and Chelmet Chelyabinsk (5:1), the club went on the road and suffered a crushing defeat in the first game. In Barnaul, Andrey Evstafyev's team lost to Dynamo Altai with a score of 1:7, conceding all seven goals in equal formations. This loss was the 29th in the regular season. At this stage, the team has 21 wins, 48 points in the asset and an intermediate 26th place in the standings. The whole fight for the matches is in full swing and the squad has a theoretical chance to get into the top 16 teams in the NHL, but not this season. The gap from Barca, which closes the playoff zone, is 11 points, which cannot be won back.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Omsk Wings score 2.4 goals.
- The team can't beat its opponent in the last four games.
