LiontipsYugra - Ryazan: betting tip and bets for the VHL Playoffs match
Command Analysis
Current form
Ugra is a fairly well-off club by the standards of the VHL. The Khanty-Mansiysk residents have gained the stability that the team lacked in its time in the KHL. Ugra is a more titled club than its opponent from Ryazan. Mammoths have already won the regular championship three times in their history and won the Petrov Cup in the 2020/21 season. The main problems during the season were in performance - the team took 22nd place in the league, and only 160 goals were scored. But in defense, on the contrary, only 124 goals were conceded, and this is the second figure after Rubin Tyumen. However, in previous years, the squad was one of the most scoring clubs in the championship. At the end of the season, Alexander Perov's team took the sixth place, but the fans expected a higher result. In the first match of the series, the Ugra team easily outplayed their opponent today (3-0), scoring a goal in each period.
Interesting betting trends
- The club averages 1.9 goals per game per season.
- The team has not lost to the opponent in the last five face-to-face games on its own ice.
Current form
It is worth noting that this year Ryazan has made a lot of noise in the regular season and why shouldn't the club continue what it started in the Petrov Cup playoffs. Ryazantsev's best result was second place in the season and relegation in the quarterfinals of the distant 2015/16 season. The last time the Ryazan club played in straight-sets matches was four years ago, but it was not possible to get past the 1/8 finals there. After that, for three seasons, the squad didn't even come close to the top 16 teams, and the gap from the TOP 16 was huge. Valery Kulibab's team is the only club in the regular season with a negative goal difference – 141 goals scored and 143 goals conceded. As for the head-to-head matches, the hockey players from Khanty-Mansiysk were twice as strong in the championship. And both times with a dry score: 3-0 away and 2-0 at home. Ryazan is on the list of leaders in the number of zero —nine games, and the goalkeeper of the team, Savely Sherstnev, is on the list of leaders in terms of reliability. The first meeting of the 1/8 finals did not go the way the coaching staff wanted - the defeat was 0:3 and 0:1 in the series.
Interesting betting trends
- The club scores an average of 2.2 goals per game.
- The team in the last three games cannot win in the third period.

The club from Khanty-Mansiysk intends to win its sixth consecutive full-time victory on its ice. Ugra won the first victory in the series last game and will cause a lot of problems for the visiting team. We believe that Alexander Perov's team will gain experience in the confrontation.

Bet on the total
In this pair, the game is planned to be dictated by the hosts with a small number of scoring chances. The hosts score plenty in face-to-face games against Ryazan, but the guests don't score that much. The last four matches against each other ended with a lower total, and we believe that we should not count on a scoring extravaganza.
The betting tip is a total of less than 4.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.67
Betting on an individual total
In the last five matches against Ryazan, Ugra scored an average of three goals and showed a confident offensive game. We can assume that the Khanty-Mansiysk club will score more than two goals against its opponent.
Betting Tip - Ugra's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 1.95
