In the second match of the series of the first round of the VHL playoffs, "Toros" and "Hammer" will meet. The game will be held on February 23 at 15:00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this exciting game for you.
"Toros"
This season, Toros looks powerful, having habitually climbed to the top of the standings. The team from Neftekamsk is famous for its well-coordinated team play, besides there are a lot of young very talented performers, as well as real league stars who have already played in the KHL. Recently, the team has not had stability, alternating victories and defeats, and in the last match they lost at home to the Hammer 2:3.
"Hammer"
Unexpectedly, the Perm club is performing powerfully this season, after the disastrous past years. The Hammer finished the championship at the top of the table and looked extremely confident. Now the team has issued an impressive series of victories both at home and away, and in the first game of the playoff series unexpectedly beat Toros on the road, confirming its great ambitions.
Statistics and figures:
- The last match between these teams ended with the victory of the Hammer 2:3.
- Toros have won just twice in their last five games.
- The Hammer has only two defeats in their last five meetings.
Forecast
The hosts look like a small favorite in this confrontation. Toros has been looking bad lately, especially in attack, but after failing in the first game, they will have to win at home. The Hammer has a more balanced composition, which was evident in the first game. I think we are waiting for a hard fight, in which the victory will still go to the players of Toros.
