LiontipsNorilsk - Izhstal. VHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Norilsk continues its home series, which has been going on with varying success so far. The team from the Krasnoyarsk Territory is at the bottom of the league table and takes only 25th place with 16 points after 19 games. Vladimir Gusev's team is far from optimal shape and managed to score only three points in three meetings on their home ice. They lost dry to Olympia (0:2), outplayed the guests from Perm (4:1) quite confidently, and in the last match they could not cope with the pressure of Toros (1:2, OT), which is at the top of the tournament table.
Current form
Izhstal is very difficult to call a contender for the main trophy, but now this team is showing quite strong results. The stars are ranked 14th in the table, having scored 23 points in 17 starts. The guests have a great opportunity to rise higher, because all the competitors played more matches and could not get far away from the team from Izhevsk. Ramil Saifullin's team is in excellent shape and has been without points only once since September 20th. Before the trip to Norilsk, the Steelworkers beat Dynamo at home (4:3, B) and defeated SKA-Navy (5:0).

1.77Tip and bets
Norilsk is considered a clear favorite for the upcoming match, but it's hard to believe that the hosts can easily take two points in a game against such an unyielding club. Izhstal is at the top of the league table for a reason, and the hockey players from Izhevsk are in great shape right now. We think that the guests will be able to earn at least one point on departure.
Our betting tip is that Izhstal will not lose in 1.68
