The battle continues in the "Ice Hockey. VHL. Regular Season" championship between the teams Zvezda Moscow and Neftyanik Almetyevsk. The stadium for the match will be ЛДС им. В.М. Боброва (Ступино) - 05 March 2026 year.
These teams have not played against each other for a long time, so when predicting, the head-to-head history should not be considered..
Let's try to understand and analyze which team is stronger.
Zvezda Moscow: It is in twelfth place in the standings out of 33. The team is in poor form.
A bit about the previously played games:
The last time the club Звезда Москва played a home match against the team Торпедо-Горький. The match delighted with шайбами. The teams played without regard for their own goals, resulting in 5 goals scored and a loss for Звезда Москва.. Previously the club Звезда Москва played a home match against the team Рязань-ВДВ. This match was dominated by the home team. Their attack was in great form..
Neftyanik Almetyevsk: Occupies twentieth place in the standings out of 33. The team is in good form.
The team has had issues with finishing in recent matches, while defensive mistakes persist. Let's review the performance in the recent matches:
Last time команда провела игру дома против клуба из города Алтайский - Динамо-Алтай год назад. The match was not boring, as the total over 2.5 was hit, and both teams managed to score. However, the success went to the home team.. In the previous match год назад the team played a home match against the club Металлург Новокузнецк. A fantastic shootout with an abundance of goals undoubtedly delighted the fans. The winners, in the form of this team, managed to score just one goal more. But that was enough for the victory..

Izhstal IzhevskIn the match between Neftyanik and the hosts, you can expect a lot of competition and intense battle. Neftyanik looks more composed and attacking, which could pose problems for the hosts. The away team players have more experience and may show a high level of shooting. Therefore, the away team has the advantage and a higher chance of winning.
My forecast for the Star - Neftyanik match: Star needs a victory, Neftyanik is likely to remain third. In the last five meetings, neither team has won away. Considering the motivation and form, I bet on Star not losing in regular time - a bet with a high chance of success.
In the match between Neftyanik and Team X, it is worth paying attention to Over 7.5 goals. Both teams have strong attacking lines and can score a lot of goals. Neftyanik scores regularly but also concedes many goals to opponents. Therefore, there is a possibility of seeing a high-scoring game from both sides. The odds for Over 7.5 goals are 4.85, which is an attractive offer.
