This game is interesting because of odds.

Home team is only three points behind the 8th position in Western Conference. Home players would like to fight for the 8th position (last position to clinche playoff). On the other side Yaroslavl is still looking for the second best position in the same conference.

Severstal Cherepovets had great december results, when they had 6 games winning streak and beat Salavat Yualaev Ufa at away. In new year 2010 they added 4 points in three games, while Yaroslavl lost all three games.

There should be neccessary to keep discipline (dangerous powerplays Czech duo Vasicek and Irgl) and slovakian goalie expected to play Rastislav Stana to keep his performance. Question for me is only one... Will Cherepovets continue in performance from last 10 games ?

Head-to-head games are pretty even and my small try (amount) will go for home team win with an odd 2,96 at Betsson. 2,80 at Expekt is as well great value. I found at bookmaker Bet365 asian handicap +0,5 with a value odd 1,68 at the moment. As well to take home team as a winner of the game could be good solution, because of odds for this game.
