Command Analysis

Zvezda Chekhov

Current form
The Moscow Star has lost all the advantage earned at the start of the championship, and is now making every effort to maintain its place in the TOP 16. So far, the team is doing well, but one mistake can lead to the loss of a place in the playoffs. Rinat Khasanov's team has gained momentum, showing confident play and results. At this stage, the team from Moscow has found its game, won six victories in the last ten matches, occupies the 13th place in the standings and is three points ahead of the top 16 in the VHL. However, the positions of the squad are very slippery. In the last confrontation, the army team met with an Oilman on someone else's ice and suffered an insulting defeat 4:5 in the end. A game earlier, the team was able to resist the Canyons (3:2). In 60 confrontations, the CSKA farm club won 34 victories, 24 of which were in regular time, and there were a lot of defeats - 26 failures. The Muscovites scored 195 goals and conceded 172 goals.
Interesting betting trends
- Since the beginning of the season, an average of six goals have been scored in Star games.
- The team has outplayed the opponent only once in the last five face-to-face matches.

Toros Neftekamsk

Current form
This season, Toros' game is not going well at all, and so far it has not been possible to get close to the top 16. Evgeny Fedorov's players lack skill in the final stage, and they need to restore order in defense - 163 goals were conceded. In the last home match, the team beat Omsk Wings. The match was dictated by the club from Neftekamsk and the team dictated their game for all three periods. The squad had enough strength and experience, which led to a 4-2 victory in the end. The team had lost a game earlier with a score of 0:3 to the Urals, where they could not realize the scoring chances they created, and the game plan they had developed was not fulfilled. The club occupies 24th place in the standings and will remain without any matches in this championship. The squad scored 64 points, scored 30 wins with as many losses, and is seven points behind the TOP 16, which it will not be able to win back.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the team concedes 2.7 goals per game.
- In the last 10 matches, Toros suffered six defeats.

2.80Tip and bets
In this confrontation, we will give preference to the owners of the ice. The Moscow team has gained momentum and recently has been showing a confident game and today it intends to win the second full-time victory in a row. It's quite possible that the star will be the winner today, and the team needs Victoria more than the opponent.
Prediction – the Star wins the match with a coefficient of 1.93
Bet on the total
Both teams prefer an attacking style of play. However, in the last face-to-face match, the opponents scored only three goals between them, and the last meetings in the championship of the guests were not very productive. We believe that the scoring extravaganza will not take place.
The betting tip is a total of less than 5.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.62
Betting on an individual total
The Star has no problems with dropped pucks. In eight of the last ten matches, the Moscow team scored at least two goals, and the visitors did not concede less in four consecutive games. We expect the Army team to score at least two goals.
The betting tip is an individual Star total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.95
