Neftyanik - Zvezda: betting tip for the VHL match

Current form

The oilman is intriguing in the VHL this year. Back in the spring, the team lifted the trophy over its head, and now it is in 22nd place and, quite likely, will remain without matches through and through. It is impossible to single out any one problem from the current champion - their complex is too extensive. Artyom Anisimov's team has gained momentum recently and has already scored five points in three matches in the home series of games. It all started with a victory over Dynamo St. Petersburg (4:3B), then the club beat SKA Neva in overtime, but lost to the outsider Unison (4:5) in the last match, failing to fulfill the game plan developed by the coaching staff. The championship is nearing completion and there are no prerequisites for defending the title earned last year. After 60 confrontations, Neftyanik won 29 victories, has 65 points in the asset and is four points behind Kurgan Trans-Urals from 16th place, which will not be easy to win back.

Interesting betting trends

Current form

The Moscow Star has lost all the advantage he earned at the start of the championship, and is now making incredible efforts to keep his place in the TOP 16. So far, the team is doing well, but one mistake can lead to the loss of a place in the playoffs. Rinat Khasanov's team has gained momentum, showing confident play and results. At this stage, the team from Moscow has found its game, won seven victories in the last 10 matches, occupies the 13th place in the standings and is ahead of the top 16 in the VHL by five points. However, the positions of the squad are very slippery. In the last confrontation, the Army team met on someone else's ice with the Canoes and won a much-needed victory, winning 3-2 in the end. The team had previously failed to resist the Leopard (1:3). In 59 confrontations, the CSKA farm club won 34 victories, 24 of which were in regular time, and there were a lot of defeats - 25 failures. The Muscovites scored 191 goals and conceded 167 goals.

Interesting betting trends

• In the last five matches, the Star has scored an average of three goals.
