The MHC "Hammer" will face off against the "Siberian Snipers" in the match of the regular season of the MHL. Which of the teams from the bottom of the table will be stronger?
MHC "Hammer"
If you look at the standings, you can conclude that everything is bad for the Hammer, because it has only 43 points and takes 14th place. However, in fact, the situation is not so deplorable, since the Hammer has held 44 duels, and the Polar Bears, who are in the eighth position, have twelve more points - 49. In the last two matches, the MHC "Hammer" remained without points, losing 0-2 and 3-4 to the "Steel Foxes".
"Siberian Snipers"
But the Siberian Snipers will no longer be able to break into the top eight teams of the Eastern conference, as they are 28 points behind the eighth place, having played 48 games. Even the fourteenth position is unlikely to rise, because it is also at a decent distance, which consists of 16 points. In the last game, the Siberian Snipers lost to Auto in overtime (3-4), having already suffered the thirty-sixth defeat in the current championship.
Statistics and figures:
- MHC "Hammer" won in one game out of the previous six;
- "Siberian Snipers" lost in seven away matches out of the last eight;
- The Moscow Art Theater "Hammer" won against the "Siberian Snipers" on its ice in two out of three matches.
Forecast
The teams are approximately equal in strength at the moment, so it is unlikely that one of them will be defeated. I think that a bet on a total of more than 4.5 is safer. The game will certainly turn out to be open and with a lot of dangerous moments.
