Command Analysis

Sibir Novosibirsk

Current form
Sibir has significantly improved its position in the tournament table and is in third place in the Eastern Conference, having earned a total of eight points. After a disastrous start, the team managed to pull itself together and produced a series of four victories. Let us recall that on its home ice it dealt with Avangard (4:1), Neftekhimik (5:2), and also beat Kunlun with a score of 3:1. It is noteworthy that in the last four meetings, the Snowmen have scored at least three goals and demonstrated a very active game in attack.
The main scorer and leader of the club at the moment is Sergei Shirokov, who managed to earn seven points in the goal + pass system. It should be noted that Epanchintsev's team plays well in the majority and currently has 26.3% of the extra man's conversion rate. In addition, the club manages to work well in defense and often manages with less than three goals conceded.

- According to statistics, Siberia blocks at least 14 shots per game
The Novosibirsk players play bravely and take many shots on themselves, thereby making the job of their goalkeeper easier.

Spartak Moscow

Current form
Spartak remains one of the leaders of the Western Conference and currently occupies the fourth line in the Western Conference standings. The team has only one defeat at the start of the season, against Sochi (1:2 SO), but is already on a successful streak of three victories. At home, it managed to deal with Minsk and Moscow Dynamo (5:2 and 4:2), and in the final match it was stronger than Torpedo (4:2). Zhamnov's team continues to play fairly open hockey and relies exclusively on attack.
That is why Spartak players score at least four goals on average, but usually concede at least two goals in return. Incidentally, like their opponents, the club has a 26.3% majority conversion rate and plays out their numerical advantage quite variably. However, the Muscovites are heavily dependent on their first attacking trio, which, as a rule, makes the result of the entire match.

2.35Tip and bets
"Sibir" may well extend its winning streak. It is necessary to take into account the fact that this is the first match for "Spartak" in the away series this season, and the Novosibirsk team has already managed to get used to the home team and plays well with the support of its stands. The "snowmen" ended the previous matches against the red-whites, which took place in Novosibirsk, in their favor.
We think that it is unprofitable to count on Spartak's success in this meeting and bet on a victory in regular time. It is quite possible that Sibir will be able to bring the matter to at least overtime.
Betting Tip - "Sibir" will not lose for 1.80
Bet on individual total
"Sibir" demonstrated excellent performance in recent meetings. "Spartak" is not distinguished by a reliable game in defense and regularly misses at least two goals. By the way, in the three previous face-to-face meetings, Novosibirsk also scored at least twice against Muscovites. Based on this, we suggest betting on the individual total of the hosts.
We take the individual total of "Siberia" more than two goals for 1.62
