Command Analysis

Barys Nur-Sultan

Current form
Last season for Barys turned out to be one of the most disastrous in the club's history. A huge number of promising players, as well as current KHL stars, left the team, which seriously hit the team and its results. The Kazakhs had to settle for only the last line in the table, having earned only 50 points during the regular season.
The club's main problem was its low scoring rate, which it tried to overcome during the offseason by signing a lot of forwards, mostly from abroad. True, there is nothing to brag about, only Damir Zhafyarov from Avangard and SKA goalie Mattsson Johan are worth mentioning. One of the most interesting transfers of Barys in the last few years cannot be ignored, as the team was joined by a New Jersey Devils starter, and with the best faceoff statistics in his former club.
True, the changes have not been able to show themselves yet. In the first friendly match, they barely managed to cope with Amur (2:1), and then they had to suffer a complete rout from the Kazakhstan team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Barys averages two goals per game
- Barys receives an average of 8 minutes of penalty time per match

Lada Togliatti

Current form
Lada has returned to the KHL for the third time, which is a unique case in the league. The team had a great start to the season, consistently imposing a competitive fight on the most serious opponents. However, towards the end of the regular season, the team began to seriously slow down, but this did not prevent it from getting a ticket to the playoffs, where in the first round it had to suffer a defeat in a series with Avangard.
Overall, the team showed excellent performance, considering the long break, and in the offseason decided to focus on the defensive line, signing as many as six defenders, although none of them played a full season last year.
Togliatti residents have already started pre-season training and quite successfully, in the first match they managed to defeat the national team of Kazakhstan with a score of 7:1. The club's newcomers, Nekolenko and Koromyslov, showed their best side, having scored two points each. Then «Lada» only consolidated its success with another victory over «Amur» (5:3). This time Koromyslov played in the first link and again distinguished himself with an assist.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lada averages 25 shots on target per match
- Lada has only 13% of the majority sales

Trends
Bet 1st goal: "Lada"
In four head-to-head matches in a row, Lada opened the scoring
1.74Goal in each period bet – no
In four head-to-head games in a row, the teams failed to score a goal in each period.
2.16Tip and bets
As you can see, Lada has fully regained its strength for the new season and has already started showing results, which cannot be said about Barys. The Kazakhs, in turn, tried to strengthen themselves as much as possible, which the team managed to do, but so far this has not borne fruit, since teamwork is required. The Togliatti team looked much better than their competitor last year, and is now in good shape, which means it is worth betting in their favor.
Our prediction is a Lada victory in 2.07
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we can expect a large number of goals scored, given the far from reliable defensive line of Barys. Lada also prefers open attacking hockey, which means that as a second bet, it is worth choosing total over.
Betting Tip - total over five goals for 1.71
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Due to their good form and superiority over their opponents in many respects, Lada may well begin to create serious pressure on the Kazakhs from the very first minutes of the match, which will ultimately allow the Togliatti team to earn an advantage at the end of the opening period.
Prediction: Lada wins in the first period for 2.61
