Command Analysis

Barys Nur-Sultan

Current form
Barys may become one of the "average" teams this season. The team will certainly fight for a spot in the playoffs, as this year it has some good players in the attack line. However, in the two opening matches, the "Bars" earned only one point, losing to Neftekhimik in overtime (1:2 OT), and in the next match they suffered a defeat from Traktor with a score of 1:4, again managing to score only one goal. At the same time, in both cases, the Astana team made at least 29 shots, but their realization of the moments now leaves much to be desired.
At the same time, there are players in the squad who are capable of scoring on a regular basis, but so far they are completely unable to cope with their responsibilities. David Nemirovsky, the head coach of the club, noted at the post-match press conference that his team is currently "making a lot of mistakes."
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Barys takes 30 shots per match
The Barça create a lot of dangerous moments and take a lot of shots on goal in every game
- In previous matches, Astana blocked an average of 18 shots
Barys players are not afraid to lie down under the puck and take opponents' shots on themselves to make it easier for the goalie
Estimated composition
Boyarkin, Mattsson, Bolie, Kamalov, Gaitamirov, Daniyar, Butcher, Beketaev, Antipin, Burdasov, Smith, Panyukov, Mukhametov, Ellison, Apalkov, Starchenko, Ospanov, Shaikhmeddenov, Savitsky, Zhafyarov, MacLeod

Amur Khabarovsk

Current form
Amur also managed to play two matches in the new season and so far remains without any points. In the first case, the Khabarovsk team failed to cope with Minsk Dynamo (0:3), and then lost to Vityaz (0:2). It is important to note that the Tigers started the season on the road, so perhaps that is why it is very difficult for them to get into the swing of things. However, right now the attacking play of Martemyanov's team is causing big questions, because in two games they were unable to score a single goal, although they made a total of 55 shots.
By the way, Amur even had eight attempts to realize the extra man, but they didn’t use any of them. But the head coach still found positive moments compared to the opening match and noted that he liked the players’ dedication, and that they “played in a more organized manner.”
Interesting trends for betting
- Amur failed to convert eight power play attempts in the first two matches.
Khabarovsk residents have problems converting their chances and have not been able to score even when on the power play
- Khabarovsk players average 27 shots on target
The Tigers have a good attacking line and regularly threaten the opponent's goal
Estimated composition
Lozebnikov, Bobkov, Bryntsev, Kulik, Baldaev, Mishchenko, Gurkin, Ryzhikov, Lee, Grachev, Durando, Barulin, Gretsky, Broadhurst, Brosso, Slepets, Drozg, Galchenyuk, Lapin, Gizdatullin, Lee

1.60Tip and bets
Amur has played well in recent matches, but has not scored any goals or earned any points. Previous meetings between the clubs have often ended in favor of the Khabarovsk team. Barys has looked very weak in the game so far, so we would consider the guests the favorite in this matchup. Plus, the Tigers have a very powerful attack line, so they should break through sooner or later.
We bet on Amur's victory with a handicap of (0) for 1.85
Bet on individual total
In four previous matches out of five, Barys conceded at least four goals. Astana is playing rather poorly in defense and fails time after time. If Amur takes advantage of at least some of its scoring chances, it will undoubtedly score three or more goals. We think it makes sense to bet on the Tigers' individual total.
We take the individual total of "Amur" more than 2.5 goals for 2.00
Total Bet
Overall, we wouldn't expect a large number of goals scored in this match. The "Bars" themselves have previously scored very little and, as a rule, have not been able to score more than one or two goals. In addition, most of the face-to-face meetings between the teams have previously been unproductive.
Betting Tip - total under five goals for 1.77
