Command Analysis

Magnitka Magnitogorsk

Current form
In 2024, another team appeared in Magnitogorsk – Magnitogorsk. The motivation of the Magnitogorsk leadership was clear – it was necessary that Metallurg had its own club nearby, where young hockey players could be sent to get playing practice. Ravil Usmanov, the appointed head coach, left the team in November and was led by Evgeny Polozov, who worked as an assistant at Norilsk last year. The club's results do not make it possible to compete for the playoffs. Magnitogorsk is in 24th place, already eight points behind the playoff zone. The squad lost their seventh match in the last 10 games. The band performed in Magnitogorsk and lost to SKA-Neva. The match was dictated by the "army", who realized the created chances, and Magnitogorsk was defeated (0:2). Earlier, Magnitogorsk lost to Dynamo St. Petersburg (2:4). The club has an excellent selection of young players, shows character and continues to fight for the playoffs.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the club has been scoring 2.4 goals per game since the beginning of the season.
- The team has won only one victory in the last eight games.

Yunison Moscow

Current form
The appearance of Unison in the All-Russian Hockey League was probably the loudest in comparison with other newcomers. A young team with ambitious leadership immediately set the task of reaching the Petrov Cup playoffs, but it was not there. Now the Moscow team is in sole last place in the standings. The squad under the leadership of Mikhail Zvyagin loses a lot and often defeatingly. The club was defeated again in the last match, and this failure was the eighth in the last 10 matches. In the last game, the team could not win on someone else's ice against Yuzhny Ural (1:2), and the game before it turned out to be weaker than Chelmet (2:3). At this stage, 33 points are in the asset, 13 victories and only 102 goals scored, but the gap from the leading Izhstal is six points. The squad was weaker than their rivals in 39 matches, which is the worst record in the championship, and conceded 183 goals.
Interesting betting trends
- Unison has been conceding an average of 3.4 goals in the last five games.

In this confrontation, the bookmakers put the owners of the ice as the sole favorite, and we fully agree with this.
