Yugra is an Oilman. Betting Tip (cf 1.60) and bets on the VHL match

Yugra made a great start in the semifinal series with Neftyanik. In the first two matches, the team played at home, where, although with difficulty, they still won two victories with a score of 2:1 from and 4:3 in regular time. Next, the team went on the road with a comfortable advantage and scored another victory, but this time with a three-goal difference (5:2).

The club had a great opportunity to finish the series without a single defeat, but in the fourth match it was very unlucky with the realization of attacking chances. Of the 42 shots, only two reached the target, which led to an insulting defeat (2:3).

In the semifinals, Neftyanik faced a very serious opponent for the first time in the Petrov Cup, as in the first two rounds of the playoffs the club confidently coped with outsiders in the face of Diesel and Ryazan. As expected, the team was unable to win a single victory away from Ugra, but imposed a worthy struggle on it, losing twice with a minimum gap of one goal.

However, returning to the home arena, the team played very poorly defensively, conceding five goals and suffering its third defeat in a row (2:5), which put Almetyevsk on the verge of relegation from the cup. With a lot of effort, the oilman was still able to stay afloat, snatching the first victory from the Khanty-Mansians in extra time (3:2). It is impossible not to mention the efforts of goalkeeper Nazarov, who deflected 40 shots out of 42.
