Amur - Metallurg Magnitogorsk: KHL match forecast
Khabarovsk Amur will play Magnitogorsk Metallurg on November 7. The Tigers are still in poor shape and are on a long losing streak. They can't find a solution to their problems and continue to lose points. The Foxes have already broken their losing streak and won their first victory in the Far East. Is it worth betting on the success of Razin team? You will find out from the forecast
Command Analysis
Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur has already secured the last place in the Eastern Conference and it is far from certain that it will be able to get out of it anytime soon. The team is in a very bad situation and there is no progress in its game. It is worth noting that it is currently on a streak of nine defeats in a row. At least, the positive thing is that the Khabarovsk team was able to break its goalless streak. After four consecutive dry defeats and failures against Severstal (0:3) and Dynamo Moscow (0:1), they returned home, where they fought Avangard.
That match turned out to be tense, and at times the Tigers even had the initiative, but lost again with a score of 1:2. The only goal was scored by Evgeny Grachev, who played well on the rebound and gave the Tigers confidence in their abilities. By the way, in the confrontation with the Omsk team, Viktor Kostyuchenko squad made 39 shots on goal, but could not transfer the game at least to overtime. Even the head coach noted that the team "has everything - an abundance of scoring chances, and "chemistry" in the threes, but the puck does not go into the goal." Indeed, Amur plays some matches at a high level and looks no worse than its opponent, but simply cannot distinguish itself with a goal. Also, it does not go well at all in the game in unequal compositions, because even in the majority, the Khabarovsk team has only 7.4% of the extra man power play.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brossoit and Shevchenko will not take part in the upcoming fight.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last six matches, Amur has scored fewer than two goals
Khabarovsk residents still can't get their attacking game going and score few goals
- Amur has 6:30 in goals scored and conceded in the second period
Khabarovsk goals conceded rate continues to grow in the second period
Metallurg Magnitogorsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Metallurg has secured sixth place in the Eastern Conference and has 23 points. However, the team cannot be satisfied with its current position, since otherwise it may end up outside the playoff zone. This season, the Foxes have been very inconsistent. Sometimes they have winning streaks, and sometimes they alternate successful matches with defeats. Recently, Andrey Razin team faced a series of three failures. Let us recall that on the road, they failed to cope with Avangard (2:3 OT) and Ak Bars (1:4), and already on the home court, they lost to Sibir with a score of 3:4. Fortunately, in the current away series, Magnitogorsk started with a victory and managed to deal with Admiral with a score of 3:2 in overtime.
Although even in the confrontation with Vladivostok, Magnitka could have won much more easily. It had a comfortable advantage of two goals, but was punished for the only removal at the equator of the third period. Incidentally, it always has huge difficulties with the game in the minority, and in this indicator it occupies the last place in the league, having at the moment only 72.7% of the neutralization of the opponent majority.
In general, Metallurg has had a hard time winning this season, as it has only won eight games within 60 minutes to date. Of course, such facts cannot but worry the club fans, but as long as it is in the top eight, there shouldn't be many questions.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Metallurg takes 33 shots on target
Magnitka tries to spend most of its time attacking and making life difficult for the opponents' goalie
- The Foxes have a 23:26 lead in goals scored and goals allowed in the second period.
Metallurg is playing effectively in the second twenty minutes and is playing without a neutral zone
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches between the teams, the first period was productive
2.20Bet 2nd period: “Amur” will score
In four out of five matches, Metallurg conceded in the second period
1.77Tip and bets
Something tells us that the upcoming match will not be an easy walk for the visitors. Metallurg played a very tense match in Vladivostok and earned two points with great difficulty, narrowly avoiding a full-fledged comeback from the opponent. Amur played well in the last match against Avangard and even scored a goal, which should have inspired them. Previous matches between the teams in Khabarovsk were also often tough fights, so we would not underestimate the home team. They have already suffered a lot and will give their best in front of the home stands. We think that the Tigers will leave the court having earned at least one point.
Forecast - Amur win with Asian handicap (+1) on goals for 1.65
Bet on individual total
In previous encounters, Magnitka showed rather modest efficiency and usually did not distinguish itself by more than two goals scored in regulation time. Even in three previous matches out of five against Amur, Razin team had problems scoring, and usually did not open the opponent defense three times. Khabarovsk residents concede much less on their home ice than on the road, so in the upcoming confrontation we would not expect a large number of goals from Magnitogorsk.
We take Metallurg individual total of less than three goals for 1.60
Total Bet
Many games involving Amur are ineffective, especially if it demonstrates a decent game in its own zone and does not concede many. Games in the Far East, in general, rarely have a large number of goals scored, since the visitors are acclimatizing, and the hosts adhere to a closed style of play. Based on this, we are inclined to expect a total under in the upcoming confrontation.
We bet on total under 4.5 goals with odds of 2.05
