Amur vs. Traktor: KHL Match Forecast

Current form

Traktor leads the Eastern Conference table and has earned 35 points. The team has demonstrated fairly stable results throughout the season and is often on a winning streak, but recently its game has not been going well. Let us recall that on their home ice, the Chelyabinsk team routed Sibir and did not leave them a single chance (5:0), then lost to Lokomotiv (3:5) and in the first away match they could not cope with Admiral - 3:4 OT. It is noteworthy that in the confrontation with the Vladivostok team, they had a minimal advantage by the 55th minute, but were unable to play reliably in defense and paid for it with one lost point.

It should be noted that in previous meetings, in general, Benoit Groux team often had difficulties in defense and missed more than two goals, although he usually does not allow his opponents to score three goals. It is worth saying that even on the road, the "bears" have demonstrated excellent results this year and up to this point have allowed themselves to be dealt with in regular time only once.

The club is also doing quite well in the game with unequal teams, as it has a 22.3% power play conversion rate and ranks seventh in the league in this indicator. As a rule, as the match progresses, Traktor picks up speed and begins to create more and more dangerous moments near the opponent goal, so it scores more in the third period than in other game segments.

Blazhievsky and Yurtaikin will not take part in the match due to injuries.
