Command Analysis

Amur Khabarovsk

Current form Amur is in 11th place in the Eastern Conference and has 12 points. The Khabarovsk team has not been stable this season, so they are still outside the playoff zone. As a rule, they cannot win more than one victory in a row and have difficulty gaining points. It should be emphasized that the team failed in three of the previous four meetings. It was able to deal only with Lada (2:0), but in the second match with the Togliatti team they lost with a score of 3:5, for the first time in a long time conceding five goals. The Tigers continue to demonstrate poor performance and often cannot score more than two goals, while having quite powerful and skilled forwards. The club also has a poor second twenty minutes and cannot withstand the opponent when the game is played with the far benches. By the way, since the beginning of the season they have only been able to win two victories on their ice and have lost five times in regulation time. Disqualifications and injuries Kirill Slepets will not play due to injury. Interesting trends for betting
- Amur has only 10% of the majority implementation
Khabarovsk players still play very poorly in the 5x4 format and create few dangerous moments.
- Khabarovsk residents receive an average of 8.4 minutes of penalty time
The Tigers get penalized quite a bit and tend to foul in their own zone.

Severstal Cherepovets

Current form Severstal is one of the top five teams in the West and has a total of 18 points. This season, the team can aspire to a lot and should easily make it to the playoffs. Under the leadership of Andrei Kozyrev, it has demonstrated fairly good results and has avoided long losing streaks. It is noteworthy that in the last three games, the Cherepovets team has lost only once, against Kunlun (0:3). They started the away series of games successfully and made an incredible comeback against Severstal, coming back from 1:4 and achieving success in overtime - 6:5 (OT). In general, Severstal plays quite effectively and often scores three or more goals. The club top scorers are Kirill Pilipenko and Danil Aymurzin, who earned 17 and 16 points in the goal+pass system, respectively. It is also worth mentioning that the team is doing well in the minority, as it is one of the best in the league in this indicator and has an 88.4% neutralization rate. Disqualifications and injuries Fomin and Kaldis will not take part in the match due to injuries. Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, Severstal receives 4.88 minutes of penalty time
Kozyrev team is one of the most disciplined in the league at the moment.
- On average, Seva concedes at least three goals
The Cherepovets team plays open hockey, so it is not surprising that three pucks often end up in their net.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches involving visitors, the first period was productive
2.20Bet 2nd period: away team win
In four out of five meetings the hosts were losing in this period
2.60Tip and bets
We think that Amur has little chance of a favorable outcome in this match. The Khabarovsk team looks weaker than its opponent. This season, the Tigers rarely earn points even on their home ice and almost always lose in regulation time. Severstal is in a great mood after a strong-willed victory over Admiral and is ready to win more. If the Steelworkers play in their style, they will deal with their opponent in regulation time. Forecast - Severstal win for 2.55
Bet on individual total
As a rule, Severstal scores at least three goals, even when playing away. Amur literally conceded five goals from Lada in the last match. It is also worth mentioning that in the last two out of three matches against Khabarovsk, the visitors scored at least three goals. We think that this time they will be able to score the same amount. We bet on Severstal individual total over 2.5 goals for 2.05 Total Bet The matches between the clubs were often spectacular and had a large number of goals. This season, Severstal plays exclusively open hockey and tries to score as many as possible, but in return, it also misses a lot. It is quite possible that in Khabarovsk we will have a game on opposite courses. We take the total over 4.5 goals for 1.70
