The hosts finished the regular season in first place and intend to fight for the Petrov Cup. However, the guests are showing an interesting game and are not going to just give away the series. How will the second confrontation of the rivals end and what bets should I place? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Metallurg Novokuznetsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Last year, the Forge did not qualify for the Petrov Cup playoffs, which led to changes both in the squad and on the coaching bridge. Novokuznetsk Metallurg won the regular season for the first time in its history. The last three months in the VHL have been amazing for the team. The club, reinforced during the season by such experienced players as Daniil Apalkov, Alexey Krasikov and Dmitry Ovchinnikov, scored a strong move, took the lead in the standings and finished the tournament in first place. The forge played beautifully, and most importantly, efficiently. In addition to having high performing skills, the most experienced coaching staff led by Andrey Lunev helped, who was able to make the team and adjusted the game of his players, both in the majority and in the minority. According to both indicators, the Novokuznetsk team is in the TOP 3 of the league. However, the squad failed in the first match of the playoffs and could not beat their opponent today - 1-4 in the end. I would like the team not to repeat the success of the Perm Hammer of the last Petrov Cup.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last two games, the club cannot beat the opponent.
- The team scores an average of 3.2 goals per game.
Magnitka Magnitogorsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
This season, the team has created tremendous success as a newcomer to the league. Magnitogorsk, which started the championship very hard, closed the standings for a while, changed the head coach during the season and got into the playoffs at the very top, beating Metallurg in the last match (3:2). But in order to get into the TOP 16, it was necessary to defeat the AKM, and the players watched the meeting of the Tula club right on the ice. The head coach of the team, Evgeny Polozov, was only able to bring the team to a new level closer to the new year, and the end of the regular season turned out to be enchanting, at the level of the top of the VHL. Magnitogorsk have won 11 of the last 12 matches, scoring points in each game (they lost only to Gornyak in shootouts). Thus, the team made it to the 1/8 finals of the Petrov Cup and in the first match again created a small sensation, beating the forge on Novokuznetsk ice by all accounts. Magnitogorsk leads 1-0 in the series, and let's see if they can fight back against such a formidable opponent today.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the club has been scoring 2.6 goals per game since the beginning of the season.
- The team has not lost in regular time in 13 consecutive games.
