Amur vs. Avangard: KHL Match Prediction
As part of the regular KHL championship, a match between Amur and Avangard will take place on November 5. The Khabarovsk team is still in terrible shape and can’t find its game. The team loses match after match and even on home ice looks pale. The Omsk team also doesn’t shine with excellent results and sometimes loses points out of the blue. Nevertheless, even on the road, the Hawks are the favorites of the match. What bet should you place on this event? You will find out from our forecast
Command Analysis
Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur dropped to the last line of the Eastern Conference, although recently it was close to the playoff zone and had big plans. Since then, a lot has changed, including the head coach, who is now Viktor Kostyuchenok. However, even under his leadership, the team has not yet won a single match and continues a terrible and long series of defeats. At the same time, in five previous meetings it remained without a single goal. Thus, on the road, the Khabarovsk team lost to Severstal (0:3) and the capital Dynamo (0:1), and already on the home court they lost with a rout to their main rival, Admiral, with a score of 0:5.
In the last match with the Vladivostok team, the Tigers completely and utterly failed the opening period of the game, during which they conceded four unanswered goals and, of course, they no longer had any motivation or desire to return to the game. By the way, even in that match, the Khabarovsk team made 37 shots at the opponent goal and really wanted to score at least once, but this was not destined to happen.
So far, even the strong support of the stands (the last game had 100% attendance) has not helped Amur. And now there is no significant progress in the team play - it continues to play exactly the same hockey, while time after time failing in defense and allowing gross losses in its own zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brossoit will not take part in the upcoming fight.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the team makes 17 power moves per match
Amur tries to play power hockey, as it is forced to spend a lot of time in its zone
- Khabarovsk players have 6:28 in goals scored and conceded in the second period
The Tigers continue to struggle with scoring and are scoring the least in the second period
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard is still outside the playoff zone and currently occupies tenth place in the East. The team has only 15 points and is already six points behind eighth place. If it continues to play in the same style, it will certainly not be able to improve its position in the standings and will leave its fans without the playoffs this year.
At the same time, the club management is not making any changes on the coaching bridge, and Sergei Zvyagin is still at the helm, although the club fans are very unhappy with his work. It should be noted that in the four previous meetings, the Omsk team was also able to achieve only one victory against Magnitogorsk Metallurg (3:2 OT), and suffered defeat in matches with Spartak (5:6), Traktor (3:4) and even Lada (1:3).
Let us emphasize that after two matches in the Far East, the "hawks" are expecting a tough home series, during which they will have to fight with the leaders. On the road this season, Avangard has been showing a poor game and has won only one victory in eight matches. In general, the team future looks uncertain. It will have to do a huge amount of work and solve all the current problems, of which there are a huge number. By the way, if in the majority the Omsk team still plays well and occupies the second line in the league in this indicator, then in the minority they act mediocre and have only 74.6% of neutralization of the opponent majority.
Disqualifications and injuries
Berdin, Stepanov, Zlodeev and Galiev will not take part in the match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Avangard gets 6.8 minutes of penalty time per match
The Hawks try to act quite disciplined and rarely break the rules out of nowhere
- Omsk has 19:15 in goals scored and conceded in the second period
Avangard is performing well in the second twenty minutes compared to the other periods and has a positive goal ratio in it
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In three out of four matches involving the home team, the first period was unscoring
1.65Bet 3rd period: Omsk will score
In four out of five matches, the visitors scored in the third period
1.55Tip and bets
We think that Avangard is rightfully considered the favorite in the upcoming match. At the moment, Amur is doing much worse than its opponent, and it is still on a long losing streak and remains without goals scored. The Hawks, of course, have not previously distinguished themselves with good results on the road, but in a match with such an opponent, they are obliged to earn two points. Moreover, the Hawks have finished most of their previous matches against the Tigers in their favor and often achieved success in regular time. The guests are also superior in class to their counterpart, so we suggest betting on their clear victory.
Prediction - Avangard win for 2.20
Bet on individual total
Amur continues to have huge problems with converting their chances. In the last match with Admiral, even a huge number of shots on target did not help them, and the Khabarovsk team again left the court without scoring a single goal. Incidentally, in the four previous games against Avangard, the hosts also could not score more than one or two goals. We expect the Khabarovsk team to play low-scoring hockey and suggest betting on their individual total.
We take the individual total of “Amur” under 2.5 goals for 1.60
Total Bet
The last meetings between the teams were "low-scoring", and Avangard won them with class. Amur adheres to the style of closed hockey and plays on opposite courses, and the Omsk team, as a rule, does not score much in matches with such opponents. It is quite possible that this time the game will be rather boring and uninteresting to watch, like most of those matches that take place in the Far East.
We bet on total under 4.5 goals with odds of 2.10
