Command Analysis

Ugra Khanty-Mansiysk

Current form
Ugra is a fairly well-off club by the standards of the VHL. The Khanty-Mansiysk residents have gained the stability that the team lacked in its time in the KHL. But this year there was a slight glitch – the fans obviously did not expect 12th place after 54 matches. Moreover, the main problems of the team are not in defense – in terms of performance, Ugra is in a low 24th place in the league, and only 129 goals have been scored. However, in previous years, the Mammoths were one of the most scoring clubs. In the last confrontation, the team met on its own ice with the "Bars" from Kazan. The match was played on equal terms and ended with the victory of the hosts with a minimum score. The Ugra team could not fully realize their created chances, but they won 2-1 in the end. The game before, the team lost to Norilsk (3:4 OT). As a result, the squad has 68 points in the asset and the whole fight for the Petrov Cup playoffs is ahead, and Khanty-Mansiysk has a reserve of only seven points from Kurgan "Trans-Urals", which is located on the 17th line and is also not averse to fighting in the matches.
Interesting betting trends
- The club scores an average of 2.4 goals per game per season.
- The team has not lost to the opponent in the last three face-to-face games.

HC Chelny

Current form
The representative of Naberezhnye Chelny does not show a very confident game in the last segment and has suffered eight defeats in the last 10 confrontations. Of course, the work on the mistakes of the last championship is noticeable, but it's too early to talk about the playoffs, and the gap from the TOP 16 cannot be won back under any circumstances. The team managed to win 20 victories in 54 games and scored 137 goals, which indicates a good realization of scoring chances. In the last calendar match, the team lost on someone else's ice to Rubin Tyumen (2:3), conceding one goal in the third and two in the second period. A game earlier, the club at home in Naberezhnye Chelny could not cope with Rostov (4:5 OT). Oleg Marzoev's team is in a modest 29th place in the standings and has only 45 points in the asset. The squad has already suffered 34 defeats, and the Canines have conceded a lot - 177 goals.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the team scores 2.5 goals per game per season.
- The Naberezhnye Chelny club has never won in its history in Khanty-Mansiysk

In this confrontation, the bookmakers make the hosts the favorite, and it's hard to disagree with this. The club from Khanty-Mansiysk intends to win the fourth full-time victory. Ugra scored their third consecutive victory on their ice last game and will cause a lot of problems for the visiting team. We believe that Alexander Perov's team will gain experience in the confrontation.
Forecast – handicap (-1.5) pucks for Ugra with a coefficient of 1.80
Bet on the total
In this pair, a game is planned to be dictated by the hosts with a lot of scoring chances. The hosts score plenty in face-to-face games against the Canoes, but the guests don't score that much. The last two matches against each other out of three ended with a total of more, and we believe that we should count on a scoring extravaganza.
The forecast is a total of more than 4.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.65
Betting on an individual total
In the last three matches against Naberezhnye Chelny, Ugra scored an average of four goals and showed a confident offensive game. We can assume that the Khanty-Mansiysk club will score more than three goals against its opponent.
Forecast - Ugra's individual total is more than three goals in 1.70
