Command Analysis

Molot-Prikamye Perm

Current form
After two wins at home, Molot's hockey players lost to Chelmet Chelyabinsk (0:2). Both goals were scored in the first period. In general, the players of the Perm team looked weak and could not hit the opponent's goal once, although they played in the majority more than once. Thus, the score in the 1/8 finals of the Petrov Cup became 3:2 in favor of the Chelyabinsk team. Let's remind that the winner is the one who wins four victories first. If the Hammer equalizes the score today, then the decisive match will be held in Chelyabinsk. It is worth noting that the VHL reacted to the incidents during the last two Perm confrontations. Hammer player Maxim Kitsyn received a one-match fine for hitting an opponent in the groin with a stick, and the club was also fined 100,000 rubles for the behavior of fans.

Chelmet Chelyabinsk

Current form
After the Perm showdown, it was important for Chelmet to go to the home match with his head held high, and Marat Askarov's wards succeeded, but the guests could not resist the opponent. In the first period, the club scored twice and went to the first break with a comfortable advantage. In the second segment, the teams showed excellent hockey, but without scoring goals. More precisely, there was a goal, but the Chelyabinsk puck was canceled by the line referees after viewing for offside. In the third period, it was already clear that the squad was not up to attacks and just had to be patient. The team had a hard time, especially playing in the minority, but they showed character, stood up and held the winning score - 2:0 in the end. Chelmet won the victory thanks to the coordinated actions of the entire team and goalkeeper Vladislav Sukhachev's punch. The team from Chelyabinsk leads the series 3-2 and goes back to Perm, where it can complete the series and make it to the quarterfinals, but it won't be easy.
Interesting betting trends
- The club has suffered six defeats in the last 10 matches.
- In the last five games, the team has averaged three goals per game.
