Yugra is a leopard. Betting Tip (cf 1.79) and bets on the VHL match

Ugra initially played in the opening series with Bars as the clear favorite. The team fully justified its status in the home arena, where it first prevailed with a score of 4:2, and then completely defeated the opponent with a difference of three goals (4:1). In the first away match, the Khanty-Mansians also played flawlessly defensively, not conceding a single goal and winning a 3-0 victory. It seemed that the team would already finish the series without a single defeat, but in the fourth match there were serious problems in defense. Goalkeeper Sukhachev also did not perform well, which together led to an insulting setback with a minimal gap (3:4).

Bars made great efforts to get into the playoff zone. However, in the opening series of the Petrov Cup with Ugra, the team seemed to have run out of steam. Bars played especially poorly on the road, failing to crack the opponent's tight defense and create many dangerous moments in his zone. The support of the fans didn't help either. In the first match at the home arena, Kazan scored only 14 shots in three periods and lost with a score of 0.:3. It was only when the team was on the verge of relegation that it began to show its attacking game. However, in several moments the team was significantly lucky, which basically allowed them to snatch victory from the Khanty—Mansians in regular time - 4:3.
