LiontipsMolot - Ryazan. VHL match forecast and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Permians demonstrated quite confident hockey last season, where they took the first place. In the playoffs, the Bears were considered one of the main contenders for the Petrov Cup, but the club could not cope with the Krasnoyarsk Sokol at the 1/8 finals stage and went to prepare for the current championship. The team from Perm is not holding the VHL draw very successfully, but it has gained momentum and has won eight victories in the last 10 games. The team led by Evgeny Popikhin has won 31 victories in 50 games and is not going to stop there. In the last match, the squad played at home and beat Torpedo Gorky Nizhny Novgorod (4:2), scoring all their goals in equal numbers. And the game before, the "hammers" won the match with the Neftekamsk "Toros" (2:1). The Permians scored one goal in the first 20 minutes, conceded in the second, scored in the third half and won 2-1 in the end. At this stage of the game, the team has 66 points in the asset and the eighth place in the standings, with a gap of six points from the third St. Petersburg Dynamo.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last five meetings, the team has scored an average of 2.4 goals per match.
- In nine of the last ten games, the club has not lost in regular time.
Current form
The Ryazan club cannot record the results of last season, as it failed to qualify for the Petrov Cup playoffs and took a place in the second twenty. The team has done a lot of work in the offseason, has rotated the squad and is fighting for the highest places in the regular season. The team led by Alexander Ardashev is showing excellent results and there is no doubt about it. The club faces the task of reaching the Petrov Cup playoffs. The squad is fighting at the proper level and occupies the sixth place in the standings, lagging behind the third St. Petersburg Dynamo by only four points and played one more game, but the catching ones are already on their heels. In the last game, Ryazan defeated Victoria in Kirovo-Chepetsk over Olimpiya (2:1), and the game before they beat Neftyanik at home (3:2). It is worth noting that the squad has suffered only one defeat in the past five matches and today intends to rattle the nerves of the club from Perm.
Interesting betting trends
- The club scores an average of 2.2 goals per game.
- The team in the last four games cannot win in the third period.

In this confrontation, the bookmakers make the hosts the favorite, who at this stage are playing more powerful and stronger than the opponent from Ryazan. Molot is playing on its own ice, has won the last eight out of ten games and intends to continue the fight for the top five. The club from Perm has a more balanced team, which will allow to win the victory and will be a decisive factor in the match.

Bet on the total
In this pair, most likely, a counterattack game with a small number of scoring chances is planned. It is worth noting that less than 4.5 goals were scored in three face-to-face meetings of the opponents out of five, and we believe that the scoring extravaganza will not take place, as in the last away match of Ryazan.
The forecast is a total of less than 4.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.85
Betting on an individual total
Molot has no problems offensively, but the visitors have no big problems defensively when playing against their opponent in Perm – they have conceded 11 goals in the last three meetings. We can assume that the hosts will still score at least three goals.
The forecast is that Molot's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 1.88 seconds.
