A regular season VHL match kicks off between teams from the second half of the tournament table. Lovers of Russian hockey can look forward to a confrontation between HC "Chelny" and "Sokol" from Krasnoyarsk.
The club from Krasnoyarsk has played 48 official matches in the regular VHL championship of the 2023-2024 seasons. "Sokol" has 48 played matches and 54 scored points under its belt, which allows it to hold the 18th position in the regular championship's tournament table. Last season, "Sokol" was performing much more successfully and was considered one of the strongest teams in the league.
The Krasnoyarsk team was the silver medalist of the Petrov Cup, yielding in the final series to "Khimik". Now, "Sokol" risks missing out on the Petrov Cup playoffs entirely and ending the season with regular championship matches. At the moment, "Sokol"'s lag from the 16th position is 3 points, not much, but victories need to be more frequent. In recent matches, "Sokol" mostly loses, having only beaten "Rubin".
The hockey players from Naberezhnye Chelny have played 50 official matches in the regular VHL championship of the 2023-2024 seasons. In 50 matches, HC "Chelny" managed to gather only 22 points, which allows it to hold only the 29th position, ending the regular championship's tournament table. The debut season at the professional level for HC "Chelny" turned out to be weak and unsuccessful in all respects.
The yellow-blues showed from the first matches that their line-up was weak for competing in the VHL for high places or entry into the Petrov Cup playoffs. The club from Naberezhnye Chelny rarely pleased its fans with victories, and the biggest achievement of "Chelny" can be the 27th position. In the last three matches, "Chelny" lost.
The only head-to-head confrontation ended with Sokol's victory by a score of 3:0.
The ITO for "Sokol" will be more than 3 goals scored.
"Sokol" will win in regulation time. The club from Krasnoyarsk is performing poorly this season and risks missing the playoffs, which would be a big failure for "Sokol", while their opponent from Naberezhnye Chelny has already lost motivation and it's just playing out its debut season, addressing errors.
