Command Analysis

Norilsk

Current form
Recall that the first meeting of the 1/8 finals of the Petrov Cup was unsuccessful in terms of the result for the Norilsk team, which lost in overtime. The second match, as well as the first, was hosted by Verkhnyaya Pyshma. However, the guests from Norilsk managed to show that they were not embarrassed by other people's stands. The first period started completely discouragingly for the owners of the ice. Less than five minutes had passed, and the scoreboard was already 3-0 in favor of Norilsk. Although the first minutes were spent on a collision course with fast shifts. The attacking fervor of the team was cooled by a large removal – Vladislav Kaletnik was immediately given a five-minute penalty. However, this did not help the Miner, and the period ended with a serious advantage for the polar team. In the second 20 minutes, the hosts were able to win back two goals, but Norilsk regained a two-goal advantage by the end of the second half. In the final segment of the game, Vladimir Gusev's team played a lot in the majority, scored two more goals and set the final score of the match – 6:2 in total.
Interesting betting trends

Gornyak Uchaly

Current form
After winning the first match 2-1 at the end of overtime, Gornyak hoped that the second match of the 1/8 finals of the Petrov Cup would turn out to be an easy ride, but that was not the case. The team underestimated the opponent and suffered a crushing defeat. The first period started for the hosts completely out of line with the coaching staff's script, and after three goals were conceded within five minutes, the goalkeeper had to be replaced, but it did not help. Towards the end of the match, the nerves of the players of both teams were at their limit, and scuffles broke out here and there in different corners of the court — one of these ended with a mutual dismissal. Then, on the coaching bridge, it was decided to replace the goalkeeper with a sixth fielder in the hope of a final assault, but in the end everything did not end in favor of the Miner. The defeat was 2:6, and the score in the series became equal – 1:1. Now the series has moved to Norilsk, where it will be very difficult for Alexey Alekseev's wards, as the opponent plays confidently on his ice, and loyal fans will drive their team forward. It is worth noting that the squad has never won at the Arctic Ice Palace in its history.
