LiontipsSouthern Urals - SKA-Neva. VHL match forecast and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Yuzhny Ural is on the verge of the playoff zone, but so far it cannot enter the list of the 16 strongest teams in the NHL. The club ranks 17th and is one point behind Zvezda and Barca, who share 15th place. The hosts have certain problems with the implementation of the moments - the team scored only 115 goals in 51 matches and is one of the league's outsiders by this indicator. January was just terrible for the Uralians - not a single win in nine matches. It was only on the third of February that they managed to break the series of defeats, which lasted a total of 11 matches. After defeating Omsk Wings in overtime (2:1, OT), the team from Orsk lost again - on February 8, Yuzhny Ural lost on its ice to one of the leaders of the season, Dynamo St. Petersburg (3:5). Now the ferrets will try to compete for points in a duel with another club from St. Petersburg.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost 12 of the last 13 matches.
- The hosts score only 2.3 goals on average per game
Current form
SKA-Neva is consistently in the middle of the VHL standings. At the moment, the club occupies the 14th place, but is only two points ahead of today's opponent, so it can be eliminated from the playoff zone at any time. The last match went pretty well for the team from St. Petersburg - they managed to score points in four consecutive matches. The Army team managed to beat Saratov Kristall (2:1, B), Penza Diesel (4:1) and Gornyak-UGMK (4:2), but in the last away match they still lost in overtime to Chelmet (1:2, OT). The most productive players of the team are forwards Daniil Lazutin and Vladislav Romanov - they scored 45 and 42 points respectively. Both players are playing their first full season at the VHL level, but they are already showing excellent play and are among the top ten scorers in the league.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won three of the last four matches.
- In the last five matches, the guests have never conceded more than two goals.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
This bet has played in four of the last five matches of the hosts
1.62Bet period 3: SKA-Neva victory
The bet played in the last three matches of the guests
2.75Tip and bets
The hosts are currently in a serious crisis and are having a hard time scoring points. We managed to beat only a clear outsider, but even in this match it took overtime. The residents of St. Petersburg are on the rise now and are regularly gaining tournament points. The Army team has won the last three head-to-head matches, and we believe that this series will continue.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (0) on SKA-Neva in 1.80
Bet on the total
It is extremely difficult for the hosts to score goals. Not so long ago, the Urals had a series of three matches in a row without scoring goals, so there is no reason to expect a scoring extravaganza from the Southern Urals. The guests will surely realize a couple of their chances, but it is unlikely that the St. Petersburg team alone will be able to break through the total of 4.5 goals.
Our forecast is a total of less than 4.5 goals in 1.90
Betting on an individual total
In the new year, Yuzhny Ural's performance has dropped significantly. SKA-Neva is excellent in defense, so it is unlikely that the hosts will be able to produce an effective duel. The team from Orsk has scored more than two goals only once in the last 14 matches, and we don't think we can jump over our heads today.
Our forecast is that the individual total of the "Southern Urals" is less than 2.5 goals in 1.65
