Ugra Khanty-Mansiysk

The guests are the favorites in this match. However, Yuzhny Ural has suffered defeats in the past three matches and intends to end such an unsuccessful series. The team from Orsk will use a more balanced lineup, and we can assume that the support of the fans and home ice will be the decisive factor in the match.
Forecast - victory of "Yuzhny Ural" in the match with a coefficient of 2.25
Bet on total
In this pair, the game is planned to be dictated by the hosts with a small number of scoring opportunities. The opponents have not been scoring too many goals in recent games, and we believe that the goal-scoring extravaganza will not take place, as in the four past matches out of five of the Orsk team.
Forecast - total under 4.5 goals with odds of 2.02
Bet on individual total
Since the beginning of the season, Yuzhny Ural has failed to score in only one game, and in the last match it was able to upset the goalkeeper of Zauralye twice. We can assume that the hosts will continue to realize scoring opportunities and are capable of scoring more than two goals.
Forecast - individual total of "Yuzhny Ural" more than 2.5 goals for 2.35
