Barys vs. Sibir: Blinov Cup Match Prediction
On August 22, Barys will face Sibir in a friendly match at the Blinov Cup. The Astana and Novosibirsk teams have already played one match each in the tournament, but have not secured any victories. Bookmakers consider the Snowmen to be the favorites in the match, but we would not be so categorical, since the Snow Leopards can also give a worthy rebuff. What is the best bet on this game?

Command Analysis
Barys Nur-Sultan
KazakhstanCurrent form
Barys is unlikely to improve its performance significantly in the upcoming season compared to last year, but will definitely be able to fight for a spot in the playoffs. The team only managed to play against Avangard in this tournament, and in that match it lost in a tough fight with a score of 3:4 (OT). At the same time, during the meeting, the Astana team was losing 0:3, but completely turned the game around at the end of the second and at the beginning of the third periods. By the way, the Bars were even able to realize their numerical advantage, and they had big problems with this before.
Interesting trends for betting
- Barys earns an average of eight penalty minutes per match
- According to statistics, Astana players perform 12 power moves per game
Estimated composition
Mattson, Nikitin, Kamalov, Zhusupbekov, Bolie, Butcher, Kenesbay, Volosenkov, Nikitin, Korolev, Boyko, Smith, Logvin, Buyalsky, Omirbekov, Ellison, Kodola, Sarkenov, Apalkov, Shaikhmeddenov, Zhafyarov, MacLeod
Sibir Novosibirsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Sibir has definitely strengthened in the off-season, and this strengthening has mainly affected the attack line. Thus, the roster was replenished with Sergei Shirokov, Maxim Karpov and Valentin Pyanov, who will certainly diversify the attack. However, in the opening match of the championship, the Novosibirsk team played mediocrely and suffered a defeat to Lokomotiv with a score of 0:2, leaving without any goals scored. By the way, in all 60 minutes, Epanchintsev's team made only eight shots at the opponent's goal, so in the locker room the coaching staff probably had a serious conversation about this topic.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sibir wins only 47% of faceoffs
- On average, Novosibirsk players perform at least 15-16 power moves per game
Estimated composition
Tabatchikov, Kostin, Murphy, Morozov, Alanov, Gordeev, Zhukov, Martynov, Akhiyarov, Efremov, Korotkov, Gogolev, Belousov, Andreoff, Klimovich, Shirokov, Yakovlev, Butuzov, P'yanov, Bek, Dubakin, Karpov
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In three out of four matches involving Novosibirsk players, the first period was unproductive
1.72Bet 2nd period: Barys will score
In two out of three matches, Astana scored in the second period
1.70Tip and bets
Barys is clearly underestimated in this match. Astana fought back against Omsk in the last match, making an incredible comeback from 0:3. Sibir looked mediocre in the match with Lokomotiv and was left without goals, having made only eight shots on target. With such zeal, Novosibirsk will definitely not be able to beat the Snow Leopards with a rout, so it makes sense to bet on the success of the outsider with a handicap.
Betting Tip - Barys win with Asian handicap (+1.5) on goals for 1.70
Bet on total
We think that we shouldn't expect a large number of goals scored in the upcoming match. After all, Sibir builds its game from defense, and, as the last match showed, it has huge difficulties with attack. Barys, in turn, has also often not played very effectively in recent matches.
We bet on total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.65
