First-Period Prediction
At least one goal was scored in the first period in 11 of Ryazan-VDV’s last 12 games. In their last ten away games, the visitors have scored an average of 1.4 first-period goals. We pick First-Period Total Goals Over 0.5 at odds of 1.32.
Result Prediction
Kaluga have failed to win in regulation in seven of their last eight VHL games. At home, however, they have covered the +1.5 handicap in 10 of their last 11 games. That suggests a close game and does not require the visitors to win. Our pick is Ryazan-VDV to avoid defeat in regulation (X2) at odds of 1.55.
Total Goals Prediction
The total has stayed under 5.5 goals in Ryazan-VDV’s last five games, and under 4.5 in seven of Kaluga’s last eight. More than 3.5 goals have been scored in each of Ryazan-VDV’s last five away games, but that is still compatible with the selected line. We pick Under 5.5 Total Goals at odds of 1.31.
Risky Bet
The first period has ended with two or more goals in five consecutive away games for Ryazan-VDV. Over their last ten away games, the visitors have averaged 1.4 goals scored and 1.2 goals allowed in the first period. Kaluga have averaged just 0.33 first-period goals in their last ten home games, so we cautiously select the more demanding First-Period Total Goals Over 1.5 at odds of 2.43.
*Odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.
Reliable Bet
Kaluga have covered the (+1.5) handicap in 10 of their last 11 VHL home games. Ryazan-VDV have covered their own (+1.5) handicap in six of their last seven games - these results suggest a narrow margin is possible. We pick Kaluga (+1.5) handicap at odds of 1.22.
