Vityaz – Avtomobilist forecast for January 11

Taking into account that both teams are playing very productive games, and taking into account the fact that they suffered defeats and lost points, in this game the teams will most likely show attacking hockey. We expect the total to be broken in this meeting due to the high conversion of chances. All the same, the teams have good scorers in their arsenal: Vityaz has Makeev and Afinogenov, Avtomobilst has Pare and Krikunov. It is also worth highlighting Kulyash among Yekaterinburg residents. Our prediction for this meeting is TB (4.5).

The experts of 1xStavka bet on the victory of the guests in Podolsk. The coefficient for the victory of Vityaz is 2.93. On the success of the Motorist quotes - 2.12. For a draw in regular time, the quotes are 4.54. Vityaz and Avtomobilist are weak defensive teams and good attackers. Bookmakers give the following odds for the match total: TB5 - 1.70 on TM5 quotes - 2.21.

Vityaz, after two major defeats from Jokerit 1:4 and CSKA 0:7, in the last round outplayed Lada 5:1 on his ice. In that meeting, Makeev 1 + 1, Nikulin 1 + 1, Afinogenov 0 + 2 and Saprykin showed themselves, reflecting 26 out of 27 shots on target. Wards of Valery Belov with 57 points and a goal difference of 118-142 take 11th place in the Western Conference. The effectiveness of the “knights” is 2.4 goals, and the team concedes 2.89 shots per match. At home, Vityaz had 26 fights, scored 60 and conceded 70 goals, earning 32 points. The leaders of the attacks of the owners of the ice are Makeev 16+18 and Afinogenov 16+17. On Monday, Vityaz summoned goalkeeper Alexander Samonov from the VHL. 22-year-old Samonov has no experience in the KHL, this season he played 29 games in the Major League, scored 21 wins with a 94.8 percentage of shots saved and a safety factor of 1.11. The Moscow Region team sent goalkeeper Anton Todykov, as well as forwards Ivan Petrakov and Alexander Denezhkin to the Dynamo St. Petersburg farm club.

Avtomobilist will play the third match in a row on the road, the previous two teams lost to Traktor 2:5 and CSKA 3:4. In the Moscow match Avtomobilist twice realized the majority, and conceded once, he has an advantage in the squad. A strong match had Golyshev who made a double. After 49 championship games, Krikunov's team has 87 points, with a goal difference of 150-120 and third place in the Eastern Conference. The motorist scores an average of 3 goals a season, missing 2.44 shots. On the road, the "Motorists" scored 36 points in 24 matches, scoring 62 and conceding 61 goals. The leaders of Avtomobilist's attacks in the season are the duet Pare 11+18 and Krikunov 9+20.

Vityaz and Avtomobilist met 16 times in history, slightly better statistics for the team from Yekaterinburg 9 wins against 7 for the team from Podolsk. The goal difference between the teams is identical to 49-49. This season, Avtomobilist outplayed Vityaz on home ice on October 10, 2017 with a score of 5:3. On Thursday Vladimir Krikunov's wards have every chance to win the second victory of the season over the Knights.

Podolsky Vityaz de facto ended the fight for getting into the playoffs of the Western Conference. In the current championship, the wards of Valery Belov did not succeed much. The motorist, on the contrary, still claims leadership in the Eastern Conference. Will the Knights be able to win?

Podolsky Vityaz in the current regular season performs unconvincingly. The team made a huge number of mistakes, including in the selection. "Knights" did not manage to find a sensible goalkeeper for themselves. Yes, and the overall level of defense has not become higher: Vojtech Mozik is great in attack, but in defense he does not always do without mistakes. In the minority, Valery Belov's wards also look frankly untenable. In attack, Vityaz still remains dependent on a few specific leaders. So, if Maxim Afinogenov and Alexei Makeev do not have a game, then there is simply no one to replace them. The same applies to the realization of the numerical advantage.

The motorist, unlike the Knight, achieved a truly powerful breakthrough. The team of Vladimir Krikunov is at the level of one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference. Moreover, Avtomobilist is good precisely in terms of the level of the game. The Urals shoot the most in the East, all four links demonstrate a high level of performance. Yes, most of them have problems. Partly they are connected with the fact that the links are constantly shuffled by Vladimir Krikunov, partly - Avtomobilist lacks truly non-standard performers. At the same time, all this is compensated by a quality game in defense. The Urals miss a little more than two goals, in the minority they neutralize more than 85% of attempts. The main goalkeeper of the team, Jakub Kovař, is also in good condition.

In recent matches Avtomobilist got a little hooked. At first, the team from Yekaterinburg could not cope with the onslaught of the Chelyabinsk Tractor - 2:5. Then there was a defeat from CSKA Moscow with a score of 3:4. There is no need to talk about some kind of crisis in the camp of the Urals. Still, any human body is characterized by fatigue - the team has practically not lost in regular time for 20 rounds. Yes, and with the same army team, the team really fought and offered counterplay to the opponent. It seems that in the match with the Vityaz, Vladimir Krikunov's wards will still score some points. Moreover, it is still possible to catch up with Ak Bars and win the East. So bookmakers believe in the team from Yekaterinburg. It is proposed to bet on the Urals with an average coefficient of 2.10.

Forecast

I think that Avtomobilist will be stronger than Vityaz. The team from Yekaterinburg has a much better selection of performers, and the depth of the Auto team is fundamentally different. Vityaz at the end of the season does not need anything. Against one of the leaders of the East, the team of Valery Belov is likely to falter.
