Vityaz - Severstal. Forecast and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Vityaz played away for a long time, where it failed to please the fans with successful results. The team managed to win only two victories over Torpedo (2:1) and Minsk Dynamo (4:1). They managed to achieve success twice due to the efforts of goalkeeper Doroshko, who repelled 66 shots in both matches. The Podolsk team also imposed a serious fight on Spartak and tied the score at the end of the match, which allowed them to transfer the game to overtime and cling to one point. However, in extra time they still had to lose with a final score of 3:4. In the remaining two matches, the team fought another very powerful competitor in the person of Moscow Dynamo, twice suffering a defeat with a difference of only one puck (1:2 and 3:4).

It seemed that, having returned to their home arena, the "bogatyrs" would be able to rehabilitate themselves before the fans and easily win over an opponent of their level, but this did not happen. Once again, the team had serious problems with the implementation of moments in attack, of which there were plenty. Out of 33 shots, only one hit the target, which ultimately led to another defeat (1:3). At the moment, the club is only in ninth place in the Eastern Conference table, having only 23 points. "Vityaz" cannot consistently realize its attacking potential, and the club defensive line is far from the most reliable, which together leads to failures.

Disqualifications and injuries

Vityaz has no serious problems with its roster. Only defender Grigory Vaschenko is in the infirmary.

Interesting trends for betting

• Vityaz scores an average of 2.3 goals per match

The club main problem remains its very low attacking performance.

• Podolsk residents have conceded 17 goals while shorthanded this season

It is also worth noting the team weak play in the minority. The opponents constantly take advantage of the "heroes"' deletions.

Current form

Severstal had been in excellent shape for a long time and was consistently earning points, and the team winning streak had reached seven matches. Moreover, only in one of them did the Cherepovets team have serious problems, but still managed to snatch victory from Admiral in overtime (6:5). Forwards Aymurzin and Pilipenko showed an excellent game, having scored seven points between them. In all other matches, the team faced virtually no serious resistance from its competitors and was even able to crush Dynamo Minsk (5:2) and Kunlun (7:2). The steelworkers also left no chance for Amur, winning a dry victory with a score of 3:0. This time, goalkeeper Samoilov distinguished himself, repelling 31 shots and recording a shutout. As you can see, the opponents were far from the most serious clubs in the league.

Next, Kozyrev charges went to visit Minsk Dynamo and in the return match they were unable to consolidate their success, suffering a 1:3 defeat. The Bisons simply did not allow Severstal to demonstrate their attacking potential, and only managed to make 26 shots on target. The interrupted winning streak and lost points did not affect the team position in the Western Conference standings. It continues to remain in second place, with 30 points.

Disqualifications and injuries

The Steelworkers continue to play with almost their full fighting strength, and only striker Alexander Skorenov remains in the infirmary.

Interesting trends for betting

• On average, Severstal scores 3.2 goals per match

This season, the Cherepovets team has been distinguished by its productive play and has consistently scored a large number of goals.

• The Steelers are averaging six penalty minutes per game.

It is also worth noting the club very disciplined play, which allows it to remain at full strength throughout almost the entire match.
