The answer is in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Sokol Krasnoyarsk

Current form
Sokol quite often represents Krasnoyarsk in straight-out matches, but in the current VHL draw, the club does not play well in all lines from the very beginning. At the start of the regular season, the Birds played at their level, but after six wins in eight opening games, the club is playing ugly and has won in just 21 championship matches – the 28th result in the league. The team has been looking good lately and has scored five wins in the last 10 matches. Lev Berdychevsky's team played the last match on their own court and were able to beat Penza Diesel (5:4), and this win was the second in a row. And the Krasnoyarsk team had outplayed the Samara army team 4-3 earlier in the game. At this stage, the club is on the 28th line in the standings and has 52 points in the asset, lagging behind the playoff zone by 17 points, which cannot be made up with such a game.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Sokol scores 2.3 goals per game.
- Krasnoyarsk cannot win in regular time in the last eight out of ten games.

Kristall Saratov

Current form
The Saratov club has never been known for outstanding results, and even if they get to the Petrov Cup playoffs, it will be a real sensation and a celebration for all Saratov fans. The coaching staff has done a lot of work since the start of the championship, made adjustments to all the lines and the squad began to look much more confident, but it is not possible to compete for the top 16, as the team lacks skill and experience. The team has recently shown an uncertain game and cannot play on equal terms with more experienced teams in the VHL. In the last match, Sergei Golobovich's team could not break the resistance of Novokuznetsk Metallurgist, who scored an amazing move (2:7), conceding three goals each in the first and third periods. The game before, the club lost on the road to Dynamo Altai (2:4). The team is on the 30th line in the standings and has only 47 points behind them.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Crystal scores 2.2 goals per game.
- The team has suffered nine defeats in the last 10 games.
