Amur vs. Spartak: KHL Match Prediction
As part of the regular KHL championship, a match between Amur and Spartak will take place in Khabarovsk on October 19. The Tigers have faced many problems recently and often lost points. However, the red-and-whites were not stable in previous matches and could not get on a winning streak. Nevertheless, even on the road, the Muscovites are considered favorites against the Khabarovsk team. What bet should you place on this confrontation? You will find out from our forecast
Command Analysis
Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur is currently in the penultimate spot of the Eastern Conference and it is far from certain that it will be able to get out of it anytime soon. The team continues to show mediocre results. Let us recall that it has failed in four previous matches out of five. It was able to deal with Lada only (2:0), but lost to it in the return match with a score of 2:5, and the day before it lost to Severstal with a score of 1:2. At the same time, Andrey Martemyanov team still shows low efficiency and often cannot open the opponent defense more than once or twice.
By the way, there is no talk of the head coach resigning, although it is already obvious that there is no progress in the club play. Even in the last match with Cherepovets, the "tigers" made a total of 40 shots, but were unable to score two goals. Also, "Amur" had five full attempts to realize the majority, but he did not use any of them.
Today, the team occupies the penultimate position in this indicator, having only 9.2% of the extra man conversion rate, although with such an attack line it should be at least in the top ten. Martemyanov blames his players for all the troubles, who, in his opinion, often do not give their best and are simply going through the motions on the court.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kirill Specets will not play in this match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, Amur receives 8.13 minutes of penalty time
Khabarovsk residents are not known for their good discipline and are sent off on average four times per match.
- The Tigers are 5-17 in goals scored and allowed in the second period.
With each match, the number of goals conceded by Amur in the second period increases.
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Spartak is one of the top three teams in the West and has earned a total of 22 points. The team has pleased its fans with its bright play this season, but has been very unstable lately, constantly alternating victories with defeats. On its home ice, it dealt with Ak Bars dry (3:0), after which it went on the road, where it lost with a rout to Dynamo Moscow (0:5), but in the final confrontation with Avangard, it celebrated a victory with a score of 6:5.
It should be noted that in previous meetings Zhamnov team did not have a high-quality defense and often missed more than three goals. Because of this, he almost said goodbye to two points in the game with the "hawks", since he had a comfortable advantage of two goals, but then lost 2:4 during the second period.
Fortunately, Spartak managed to step up their attack, thanks to which they still dealt with their opponent in regulation time. Despite all the difficulties in defense, the minority brigade copes with its direct responsibilities perfectly, so Spartak has 84.4% of the extra man neutralization and ranks sixth in the league in this indicator. The main sniper in the club is, oddly enough, not even Nikolai Goldobin or Pavel Poryadin, but Adam Ruzicka, who has managed to record nine goals to his account to date.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Spartak receives 6.31 penalty minutes per game
The red and whites play carefully compared to many teams and rarely get sent off.
- Muscovites have 20:17 in goals scored and conceded in the second period
Spartak looks good in the second twenty minutes and gives it their all.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In the three previous matches involving the visitors, the first period was unproductive
1.80Bet 2nd period: Spartak win
In four out of five matches, the hosts lost in the second period
2.25Tip and bets
We think that in this confrontation it is quite logical to give preference to Spartak. The red-and-whites can only be prevented from earning two points against Amur by the flight and long acclimatization, but all other things being equal, they certainly look stronger. Khabarovsk residents, even on their home ice, rarely earn points this season and cannot cope with simpler opponents.
Plus, for the "tigers" the Muscovites are an inconvenient opponent, because all the last face-to-face matches ended in favor of the guests. Most likely, this time Spartak will find the resources to win.
Prediction - Spartak win for 1.85
Bet on individual total
Only in two previous matches out of five, Amur was able to score more than two goals. Khabarovsk still has a huge number of problems with converting chances. In the last meeting with Cherepovets, even 40 shots on target did not help them, because then they scored only one goal. Of course, the Muscovites are not known for their strong defense, but they should not concede three times to the Tigers.
We take the individual total of “Amur” under 2.5 goals for 1.65
Total Bet
Amur plays almost all of its home games without scoring, finishing them with fewer than six goals. Spartak is also unlikely to force the issue against such an opponent. In addition, two of the last three meetings with the guests also ended with five or fewer goals.
We bet on total under 5.5 goals with odds of 1.80
