Current form

The current VHL championship is going badly for the Krasnoyarsk club, and the team will most likely be left without playoff matches and for the second year in a row will not create a sensation by getting into the playoff zone at the very end of the championship. It is worth noting that last season Sokol improved in the second round, namely after the New Year break. The "feathered ones" have looked weak lately, there is a complete mess in defense, and in the final stage the game is not going at all. In 34 past games, the club has won only 10 victories, and in the last nine out of 10 matches it has lost. Sokol played the last match on home ice and suffered a defeat from Novokuznetsk Metallurg (1:2 OT), which was the 24th defeat of the team this season. Krasnoyarsk also lost the previous match with a score of 4:5 to Dynamo-Altai. At this stage, the team is in a modest 29th place in the tournament table and has 27 points to its credit, lagging behind the playoff zone by as much as 13 points, which will be extremely difficult to win back.

Interesting trends for betting

• On average, the team scores 2.3 goals per game
• The team has not lost in the first period in the last five matches.
