Traktor is showing its best side at this championship. This is not surprising, since the team plays in front of its fans and, despite the friendly status of the tournament, tries and makes an effort in every match. Thanks to this, the Bears won a victory over Lada (4:3 OT), and also proved their superiority over Yugra with a score of 3:0. At the same time, in the confrontation with the Yugra team, the Chelyabinsk team did not have its main lineup, but even in such conditions they were able to win without conceding a single puck.

Traktor

Current form
"Amur" also looks very good in this tournament and currently occupies the second line in the table. In friendly matches, the team is distinguished by a reliable game in defense and plays in a closed style. "Tigers" previously defeated "Ugra" (2:1) and "Lada" (3:2). The last meeting with the Togliatti team was quite tense, and the intrigue lived until the very end, since only five minutes before the final siren, the Khabarovsk team scored the winning goal. Incidentally, Igor Bobkov had little work in that match, because the opponent made only 22 shots at the goal.
Interesting trends for betting
- Amur averages 33 shots on target
- According to statistics, Amur carries out at least 16 power moves per match
Estimated composition
Lozebnikov, Bobkov, Rylov, Kulik, Baldaev, Mishchenko, Gurkin, Ryzhikov, Shchemerov, Grachev, Durando, Broadhurst, Brosseau, Gretsky, Galchenyuk, Lapin, Gizdatullin, Lee, Khokhlachev, Shevchenko, Korotkikh

1.80Tip and bets
"Traktor" certainly looks like the favorite in this match, but it is far from certain that it will play in its optimal lineup. Plus, "Amur" has played its matches very well before. In addition, last season Martemyanov's team was a very inconvenient opponent for the Chelyabinsk team and more than once gave them a worthy rebuff, sometimes snatching victory. Based on this, we suggest betting on the handicap of the formal outsider.
Betting Tip - Amur win with Asian handicap (+1) for goals at 1.70
Bet on total
The last matches between the clubs were quite productive, despite the fact that Amur plays closed hockey. The Bears will still force Khabarovsk to open up and sometimes act on opposite courses, so this time the hockey should be interesting and pass with at least five goals scored.
We bet on total over 4.5 goals for 1.67
