2.15Tip and bets
The guests are the middle of the Golden Division, and the hosts are just newcomers here, so the Kazan team is the favorite among bookmakers. It is worth noting that face-to-face meetings between the opponents are always tough - the last six meetings ended in overtime or in a shootout. We believe that now the hosts will be able to impose a fight on the favorite.
Our betting tip is a handicap (+1) on the Kuznetsk Bears for 1.72
Bet on total
On home ice, the hosts should show a confident performance in defense. The Bears themselves are unlikely to score much, but they are also unlikely to let Kazan run wild in attack, so it is worth betting on the total under.
Betting Tip - total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.95
Bet on individual total
It is unlikely that we should expect a productive performance from the hosts. Even in winning matches, the team from Novokuznetsk does not score a large number of goals, and besides, Irbis is a fairly strong opponent.
Betting Tip - individual total of "Kuznetskie Medvedi" less than 2.5 goals for 1.70
