Command Analysis

Traktor

Current form
Traktor has been showing excellent results for a long time, but still broke its winning streak of five games. The team returned to the home arena after an away series, where it should have continued to please fans with successful results, but this did not happen. The Chelyabinsk team fought Avtomobilist and could not take advantage of the opponent poor form, losing to them by one goal with a score of 4:5. This time, goalie Fukale showed his worst side, reflecting only 78% of the shots. The Bears tried their best to rehabilitate themselves for the weak play of the goalie due to the powerful attack line and at some point even earned an advantage, which they soon lost again.
Before this, Gruhl team also often had lapses in defense, which led to a large number of missed goals, but the team consistently compensated for this deficiency due to its effectiveness in attack, thanks to which it earned points throughout the regular season and is now in first place in the Eastern Conference standings, with a large gap from second place.
Disqualifications and injuries
It can be said that Traktor has no problems with its roster. Almost all players, with the exception of Danil Yurtaikin, are in the lineup.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Chelyabinsk players score 3.1 goals per match
Traktor is distinguished by its effective attacking play, which allows the team to achieve the desired result.
- The Bears average 6.8 penalty minutes per game.
The team also plays very disciplined hockey and rarely gets penalties.

Sibir Novosibirsk

Current form
Sibir still can't cope with its slump, losing to all opponents on its way, and the losing streak has already reached four games in a row. Remarkably, absolutely all the games ended in regulation time, and only Trakor managed to give a worthy fight, losing by just one goal (4:5). The club main problem remains an uncertain game in defense, which led to defeats in matches with Severstal (2:4) and St. Petersburg SKA (3:6). Both goalies, Kostin and Krasotkin, were unable to cope with a huge number of shots and insure the team. Remarkably, the "snowflakes" were unable to cope even with the main outsider of the league, Barys, losing to them with a score of 1:3.
It is worth noting that the team had a very successful start to the season, due to which it occupied a place at the top of its conference table for a long time, but now, due to a large number of lost points, it has dropped to seventh place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sibir continues to play with almost its full fighting squad. Only defender Yegor Martynov is absent due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Sibir takes 26 shots per match
The Novosibirsk team cannot boast of a very active attacking game and mainly achieved success due to high-quality, but few shots.
- The Snowflakes converted 36% of their power play attempts
The team still remains the best in terms of using an extra player on the court

1.63Tip and bets
It is quite expected that Traktor is the clear favorite in the upcoming match. The team continues to be in optimal shape, and the offensive defeat to Avtomobilist should not greatly affect the spirit of the Chelyabinsk team. The Bears will again play at home, where, with the support of the fans, they have every chance to rehabilitate themselves for the lost points and win a confident victory over Sibir. As we have already noted, the Novosibirsk team is not in the best shape and continues to lose even to the obvious outsiders, so there is no point in betting in their favor.
Our prediction is a Traktor victory for 1.77
Bet on total
Recently, Traktor has often started having problems in defense, and the goalkeepers are not coping with their task. Despite this, the team continues to consistently earn points due to excellent and very effective play in attack. We believe that in the upcoming match we should expect a large number of goals scored.
Forecast - total over five goals for 1.81
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Chelyabinsk players, due to their superiority over their opponents, should play first and create serious problems for Sibir already in the starting segment, which will ultimately allow Traktor to earn an advantage at the end of the first period.
Prediction - Traktor wins in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.50
