Sibir Novosibirsk

Current form
Sibir still managed to rehabilitate itself before the fans for the terrible start of the pre-season training and the disastrous match with Lokomotiv (0:2).

Then, the «snowflakes» once again faced a very strong opponent in the form of «Traktor», which Yepanchintsev’s team again failed to cope with, suffering a rout with a score of 0:3.

It is hard to believe that Sibir is capable of giving Avangard any resistance in the upcoming match. As you can see, Novosibirsk is in terrible shape and constantly suffers crushing defeats from serious opponents. Omsk, despite all their problems, still consistently achieves successful results, so we suggest making a confident bet in favor of the «hawks».
Our prediction is Avangard's victory at 1.66
Bet on total
You shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored either. Sibir has huge problems with the attacking line, which is also observed at Avangard after the departure of the leaders. It is for this reason that we suggest betting on the total under.
Betting Tip - total under 5.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Avangard has every chance to create serious problems for Sibir already at the start of the match and, by the end of the first period, to take advantage due to its significant superiority over its opponent.
