Command Analysis

Khimik Voskresensk

Current form
Khimik reached the semifinals for the second time in the VHL. Last time, the Voskresensk team did not stop there and won the Petrov Cup in the 2022/23 season. Of all the four teams in the current draw, the squad has the freshest memories of what it's like to lift the main league trophy over their heads. It should be noted that in face-to-face confrontations in the playoffs, Ugra was always better. In the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons, Khanty-Mansiysk residents won the series against Spartak farm club 4:1, and last season 4:3. Egor Bashkatov's team has the best attack in the playoffs: in 12 matches, the squad from Voskresensk scored 44 goals. It is worth noting the forwards Prokhor Korbit (6+6) points, Egor Chezganov (5+6) points, Maxim Krovyakov (4+7) points and Dmitry Solovyov (4+6) points. In the quarterfinals against SKA Neva, the yellow-blues won the first three matches of the series with a difference of three or more goals and became the first team to succeed in straight sets.
Interesting betting trends
- In the playoffs, the team scores an average of 3.7 goals per game.
- In the last 10 games, the club suffered only three defeats.

Ugra Khanty-Mansiysk

Current form
Ugra is currently skating over its rivals in the Petrov Cup. The club won the first round against Ryazan 4-1 in the series, and the quarterfinals against Norilsk (4-0). Khanty-Mansiysk had only nine games to go through two rounds, the fewest of the semifinalists. Reliable defense contributed to this in many ways. The Mammoths only missed a damn dozen goals. Let's note the goalkeeper of the team Vladimir Sokhatsky, who has already made three shutouts, and by all accounts is on the list of the best goalkeepers of the season. Let's recall that in the regular season, the rivals scored the same number of points, and they exchanged quizzes in face-to-face matches. Alexander Perov's team lost 2-5 away, and Yugra took revenge 2-1 in Khanty-Mansiysk.
Interesting betting trends
- In the playoffs, the club concedes an average of 1.4 goals per game.
- The team has won seven previous games against Victoria

In this confrontation, the masters of the ice are the favorites. The team from Voskresensk near Moscow has gained excellent form and has recently shown a confident game and intends to continue to win and make it to the finals and take revenge on the opponent for the last playoffs. Chemist, quite possibly, will emerge victorious today and win the first victory in a series of up to four victories.
The betting tip is that the Chemist will win the match with a coefficient of 1.70
Bet on the total
Both teams prefer an attacking style of play, and we hope that there will be a lot of abandoned goals in the confrontation. In the last three games out of five, the hosts scored more than four goals, and the two previous face-to-face meetings in Voskresensk were notable for their effectiveness. We believe that the scoring extravaganza will take place.
The betting tip is a total of more than 4.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.75
Betting on an individual total
The Chemist has no problem with abandoned washers. In five of the last six matches, the team scored at least three goals, and in the last four face-to-face games on its own ice, the team did not score less than three goals against the opponent. We expect that the hosts will hit the gates of Ugra at least three times.
The betting tip is that the Chemist's individual total is more than 2.5 goals per 1.90
