Command Analysis

Izhstal Izhevsk

Current form
The Izhevsk team failed to compete in the Petrov Cup playoffs last year, and the team has not been able to break into the top 16 teams in the league for five consecutive seasons. Izhstal has been playing a disgusting game since the start of the championship. The players simply do not have enough skill in both the defensive line and the final stage. The coaching staff has done a lot of work to achieve this result, but it has not led to anything better. Andrey Schafer's team has won only two victories in the last 15 games and is on a seven-game losing streak. The squad conceded 203 goals, which is the worst record in the VHL. In the last meeting, Izhstal met Ugra at home and lost 2:4 in the end, and lost the game earlier to Rubin in a shootout. The team suffered setbacks in 41 confrontations, occupies 31st place in the standings and has only 43 points in the asset, lagging behind the leading Crystal by three points.
Interesting betting trends
- Since the beginning of the season, the team has scored an average of two goals per game.

Zauralye Kurgan

Current form
The current championship is not going very well for the Kurgan club, and the squad has left the zone of the top 16 teams. Since the start of the championship, the team, in principle, shows a good game and fights on equal terms with opponents from the TOP 16, but often does not use the created scoring chances and thereby loses points. Last game against the Hammer was the third in a series of away games, and the team failed to meet the expectations of fans and bookmakers. The club was defeated in the match against Permians (2:3). A game earlier, Kurgan defeated Olympia in Kirovo-Chepetsk (4:2). The Trans-Urals region has won four victories in the last six games, but the team has suffered a lot of defeats in the season – 28 failures. As a result, Artyom Sedunov's team has 67 points in the asset and 17th place in the standings, one point behind the playoff zone and played two games less than the 16th Buran.
Interesting betting trends
- In the season, on average, the Trans-Urals concedes 2.3 goals.
- In the last five face-to-face games, the club has scored 4.5 goals on average.
