Sibir vs. Avangard: KHL Match Prediction
As part of the KHL championship, on September 15, we are expecting the Siberian derby, in which Sibir and Avangard will take part. The Novosibirsk team interrupted a series of three defeats, and the Omsk team, on the contrary, could not extend the successful streak. Matches between the clubs are almost always tense, and a real battle takes place on the ice. Earlier, the "hawks" were able to deal with the "snowflakes" at home, but will they be able to repeat the success away? You will find out from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Sibir Novosibirsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Sibir had a very unsuccessful start to the new season and suffered three defeats in a row. But after another crushing defeat to CSKA (2:8), the team was able to pull itself together and won away from home against Severstal with a score of 5:2, scoring more than two goals for the first time. Before this, Vadim Epanchintsev's team had great difficulties creating and converting chances. It is quite likely that such problems will continue to occur, since the Novosibirsk team has not changed anything in its game globally.
It is also worth noting that the club currently looks bad in the majority and has only 9.1% of the power play. However, the victory in the last match should have greatly helped the "snowmen" psychologically, especially before the home series.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ovchinnikov (injury)
Interesting trends for betting
- Sibir receives an average of five minutes of penalty time
Novosibirsk players played with discipline in previous matches and did not get sent off in simple situations
- Novosibirsk players block at least 16 shots according to statistics
The Sibir players play bravely and try to make life easier for their goalie by blocking many shots
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard is currently one of the main leaders of the Eastern Conference and has seven points, occupying the third line in the standings. The team, despite problems with the roster, has shown great results at the start of the season and celebrated success in the last three matches out of four. However, after another victory over Ak Bars (4:1), Zvyagin's team could not cope with Amur (2:3 SO), although during that match they had a comfortable advantage of two goals.
The Hawks are distinguished by a fairly reliable game in defense and make few mistakes in their own zone, thanks to which they have never conceded more than two goals. The Omsk team also plays well in unequal compositions and currently has a 42.9% majority conversion rate.
Disqualifications and injuries
Berdin (injury), Bushe (injury), Tkachev (injury)
Interesting trends for betting
- Avangard averages 26 hits per game
Avangard plays a physical style of hockey and does not give its opponent space on the ice, often taking the puck away with physical attacks.
- According to statistics, Omsk players are sent off twice per match
The Hawks are trying to play carefully and even in matches with their main rivals, they rarely take penalties
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In the two previous matches between the clubs, the first period was unproductive
1.60Bet 2nd period: "Sibir" will score
In four out of five games against Omsk, Novosibirsk scored in the second period
1.70Tip and bets
We think that Sibir can put up a tough fight against Avangard in the upcoming meeting and fight for two points. The Novosibirsk team also put up a decent fight against their opponent in Omsk last time, and they will have even more chances for a favorable outcome on their home court. Plus, the Hawks themselves will clearly not be as good on the road as they are at home. We think that the hosts will get away without a defeat in regular time.
Betting Tip - "Sibir" will not lose for 1.65
Bet on individual total
In the last two games out of four, Avangard did not score more than two goals. It is also worth remembering that the Novosibirsk team plays quite well in defense, despite the fact that they failed in previous games. In addition, the Hawks continue to play without their main forwards Tkachev and Bushe.
We bet on the individual total of Avangard under 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.77
Total Bet
It is quite possible that the upcoming meeting will be unproductive and will be held with a minimum number of goals scored. Sibir will try to play extremely carefully in defense in front of home stands, and Avangard is unlikely to open up. By the way, the last match between the clubs, which took place 10 days ago, was held with only three goals.
We take the total under 4.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.95
