Command Analysis

Kristall Saratov

Current form
The team returned to Saratov after the unsuccessful matches of the away series and will correct the mistakes made in the past confrontations. Crystal has been defeated in the last five matches. It all started with a setback on home ice against Magnitogorsk (1-4), followed by an away loss. First, the squad lost to Dynamo Altai (2:4), then it was defeated in Novokuznetsk (2:7), and then lost to Sokol (2:3 OT) and Norilsk (2:3). The team in the VHL does not claim anything, it is located on the 30th line in the standings, has 48 points behind it, and it will not be possible to play back the gap from the playoff zone until the end of the regular season. The Saratov club has never been known for outstanding results and plays its own hockey from year to year. The coaching staff has done a lot of work since the start of the championship, made adjustments to all lines, but it did not bring results. The club struggled at the bottom of the standings, and is finishing the season in it.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Saratov Crystal scores 2.2 goals per game.
- The team has been defeated by its opponent in the last three games.

Bars Kazan

Current form
At this stage, the Kazan club has dropped out of the competition for the top 16 teams. By the end of the regular season, Bars will not be able to regain the six-point gap from the playoff zone, as the rivals also win the victory and retain their places. In the last 10 matches, the squad won only four victories, but six defeats played a very big role in the pursuit of the TOP 16. The wards of Alexander Stepanov beat the Moscow Star on their ice without any problems in the last confrontation. Kazan did not give the opponent any free space in all three periods, scored one goal each and confidently won – 3:1 in the end. A game earlier, the squad was defeated by the outsider Moscow Unison (1:4). Since the beginning of the championship, Bars has suffered 32 defeats and conceded 183 goals, with 29 wins and 161 goals scored. After 61 games, the team is on the 23rd line in the standings with 56 points in the asset. For the second year in a row, the club from the capital of Tatarstan will not represent the republic in straight matches.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the club concedes three goals per game.
- The team has won only two victories in the last eight games.

In this matchup, the bookmakers make the guests the favorite, but we will give preference to the owners of the ice. Barca won't make the playoffs this year, but Kristall intends to show his best hockey in front of his fans. Saratov are playing on home ice and intend to take revenge on the opponent for three defeats in a row. The home club has the advantage of its own ground, which will allow the team, at least, not to lose.
