Neftekhimik - Lada: forecast for the KHL match
On October 29, Neftekhimik will play at their home arena, where they will meet Lada this time. Our experts, in turn, have prepared a forecast in which they will tell you about the current form of the clubs, as well as their latest results. This will help you decide on bets, and the most relevant ones are collected below
Command Analysis
Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Neftekhimik continues its home series, which it began with its fifth defeat in a row. The team met with Torpedo and failed to realize its attacking potential, scoring only one goal, and in response, conceded three. Remarkably, the Nizhnekamsk team even managed to outshoot one of the most productive clubs in the league, but the puck stubbornly refused to fly into the goal. The Wolves were also able to break the losing streak and series of defeats at home, where they defeated one of the league outsiders, Sochi, snatching victory in regular time with a score of 2:1. Goalkeeper Zagidulin made a major contribution to the success, reflecting 96% of the shots.
Then Nizhnekamsk again had to fight a very serious opponent and suffered a defeat from Avtomobilist (2:3). Leontyev charges were able to make 41 shots on goal, but again the efficiency let them down. Nizhnekamsk is still in fifth place in the Eastern Conference table, but due to the huge number of lost points, the team may very soon leave the playoff zone altogether, since their closest competitors have played much fewer matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Neftekhimik still has problems with its roster, and the attacking line suffers in particular. Three forwards are in the infirmary: Vladimir Bryukvin, Jean-Sebastian Dy and Alexander Dergachev. Also, defender Roman Abrosimov will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Wolves average seven penalty minutes per game.
The Nizhnekamsk team is distinguished by its very disciplined play and rarely breaks the rules.
- Neftekhimik scores an average of 2.2 goals per match
The team tries to play open attacking hockey, but has serious problems with scoring.
Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada completed a four-game away series, which ultimately turned out to be not the most successful. The team played in the Far East, where they met Amur in the first two matches, exchanging victories. At first, the Togliatti team lost dry (0:2), but then they were able to fully demonstrate their attacking potential and won a confident victory with a score of 5:3. In particular, it is worth praising the second-line forwards Mikhailov and Popugaev, who scored three points each. Then the Avtozavodtsy went to visit Admiral, where in the first match they routed the sailors with a difference of five goals (6:1). In the return match, they had to lose again, and this time due to weak defense (3:5). Goalkeeper Trushkov did not show his best, he even had to be replaced in the third period.
Returning to their home arena, the Togliatti team also did not show their best in the match with Traktor and suffered a defeat in overtime (1:2). In total, the team managed to make 18 shots on target, which, of course, was not enough to defeat the leader of the Eastern Conference.
Disqualifications and injuries
In the Lada infirmary, everything remains unchanged, the Togliatti team continues to play almost in full force, and of the injured players, only striker Andrei Altybarmakyan is worth noting.
Interesting trends for betting
- Togliatti residents concede an average of 2.5 goals per match
Lada demonstrates confident play in defense and quite often copes with the opponent’s pressure.
- Avtozavodtsy are currently making 27 shots per match
A serious problem for the team is its low activity in attack, which has a negative impact on the club performance.

1.80Tip and bets
It is not easy to determine the winner in the upcoming match, as both teams are not in the best shape and have been losing points more often than they have been earning lately. However, it is worth paying attention to the fact that Neftekhimik will be playing at home, where it performs much better than on the road, while Lada often has problems away, even in matches with obvious underdogs. In face-to-face meetings, the Wolves have also been more successful, so we suggest taking advantage of the fairly high odds and betting in favor of the home team.
Our prediction is Neftekhimik victory in the match for 2.50
Bet on total
Don't expect a lot of goals scored in the upcoming match. Both teams have not been particularly productive throughout the regular season and mainly rely on the defensive line.
Forecast - total under 4.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Neftekhimik, due to the home advantage, should start the match with serious pressure on Lada, which will allow the team to finish the opening period with an advantage, which is what we suggest betting on.
Forecast - Neftekhimik wins in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.82
