LiontipsSokol - Bars. Forecast and bets on the VHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
The current VHL championship is not going as the management would like for the Krasnoyarsk club, and most likely, the “feathered ones” will not be able to get close to the playoff zone and will miss the Petrov Cup. Sokol has looked good in recent games, they have started to play much better in defense, and the game has also gone well in the final stage. The club won two home games, but plays on equal terms with its opponent. Sokol played the last match on its home ice and won a precious victory over Neftyanik (4:2), scoring three goals in equal numbers and one into an empty net. And luck smiled on the Krasnoyarsk team in the previous match, as they beat Chelny (3:0). At this stage, the team is in an unusual 30th place in the standings and has 31 points to its credit, lagging behind its opponents from the playoff zone by a baker dozen points. Lev Berdychevsky team has suffered 25 defeats since the start of the championship and has conceded 111 goals.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team concedes three goals per game
- In the last two matches the team did not lose in either period.
Current form
At this stage, the Kazan club is very close to the top 16 teams and plans to break into the top 16 teams in the league before the new year. In the last six matches, the team has won four victories, two of which were beyond 60 minutes of play. Alexander Stepanov team beat Novokuznetsk Metallurg (5:2) in the last match on away ice. The opponents fought equally in the first two periods and finished them with a score of 2:2. But in the third half, Bars seized the initiative and scored three unanswered goals against the opponent. The team beat Dynamo-Altai in Barnaul (3:2 OT) the previous game. Since the beginning of the championship, Bars has won 18 victories and scored 107 goals, with 20 defeats and 118 goals conceded. After 38 games played, the team is in 18th place in the tournament table with 43 points and is only one point behind its TOP-16 rivals, which can easily be won back if it does not make ridiculous mistakes, especially in matches with weaker rivals.

2.60Tip and bets
In this confrontation, bookmakers put the hosts as a slight favorite. Sokol won the two previous home games and intends to continue showing positive results today. The Krasnoyarsk team will use its ice, and we can assume that the experienced team will allow them to win against their opponent.
Prediction - Sokol wins the match with odds of 1.75
Bet on total
This pair is expected to have an open game dictated by the hosts with a large number of scoring opportunities. Recently, Sokol has been quite good at realizing the scoring opportunities it creates, and in the past three matches out of five opponents in the VHL, the total was higher. We believe that a goal extravaganza will take place in the confrontation.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.98
Bet on individual total
The hosts have started to get their attacking game going, and in the past three matches the club has scored 10 goals. We can assume that Krasnoyarsk will score more than two goals, since they have not scored less against their opponents in the past two face-to-face matches.
Forecast - Sokol individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.75
