Traktor vs. Kunlun: KHL Match Prediction
On November 23, there will be a meeting between Traktor and Kunlun. The Chelyabinsk team continues to delight fans match after match and shows great results at home. For the first time in a long time, Red Star has won two victories in a row, so we can say that it is in good shape. However, last season, both matches between the clubs ended with a total score of 10:4 in favor of the home team. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You will find out the answer from our forecast
Command Analysis
Traktor
Russian FederationCurrent form
Traktor leads the Eastern Conference standings and is five points ahead of its closest rival. The team has not been doing well lately, suffering three defeats in six games, but such a decline was entirely expected, since it is simply impossible to play the entire regular season at such a crazy pace. We would like to emphasize that after successful away games against Amur (4:3) and Metallurg (4:0), the Chelyabinsk team returned to their home court, where they have already played two games. In one of them, they still lost to Dynamo Moscow in an equal fight (3:4 SO), but then dealt with CSKA with a score of 5:2.
In the confrontation with the army men, the "bears" played a very good final twenty minutes, during which they were able to score four goals and literally stumped their opponent. Oddly enough, Traktor scored all of its goals in that match at even strength, although it had four full attempts in the 5x4 format. By the way, in terms of the game in the majority, the club is in the top eight in the league and currently has a 21.1% conversion rate.
It is also important to remember that Benoit Groux team remains one of the most productive in the league and averages at least three to four goals per game. As a rule, the Chelyabinsk team scores most in the third period, where they currently have a 40:22 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Traktor currently has no problems with its roster.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Traktor takes 35 shots on target
Chelyabinsk players demonstrate high shooting activity and even in the last match they threatened the opponent goal 34 times
- The Bears are winning 53.4% of their faceoffs.
Traktor pays a lot of attention to this component and it is no coincidence that it often looks better than its counterpart at the point.
HC Red Star Kunlun
ChinaCurrent form
Kunlun is one of the main outsiders of the Western Conference and even now is on the penultimate line of the tournament table. The team has 23 points and in the near future will definitely not be able to get closer even to the ninth position, where Vityaz is located. As a rule, in the current season it is limited to two victories in a row, and even such a modest series is a great achievement for it. By the way, recently the Red Star faced a series of four failures. However, after another defeat from Sochi (5:6 OT), it dealt with Minsk Dynamo (3:0) at home, and then away in a tough fight beat Avtomobilist with a score of 2:1 in a shootout.
In the first case, Mikhail Kravets' team did not miss any goals, and in the second match they only missed one goal. This is surprising, since today the club remains the most missed in the league and usually allows the opponent to score at least four times. As a rule, the most disastrous performance of Kunlun is the second period, in which it has a 16:40 ratio of goals scored and missed and cannot play reliably with the far benches.
It is also worth remembering that the team has difficulties playing in unequal compositions - both in the minority and in the majority. For example, it has 79.1% of neutralization of the opponent majority and at the same time gives out 15.6% of the implementation of the extra man.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players in the Kunlun squad
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Kunlun takes 27 shots on target
Red Star is forced to play second fiddle, so they spend little time in the attacking zone
- According to statistics, Kunlun receives 8.17 minutes of penalty time
Kravets' team is sent off on average at least four times per match
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches between the teams, the first period was productive
1.82Bet 3rd period: Chelyabinsk win
In three out of four games against Red Star, the hosts won in the third period
1.72Tip and bets
We think that Kunlun has very little chance of a favorable outcome in this confrontation. The visitors are significantly inferior to their opponents in class and show rather weak results on the road. As a rule, in matches with the leaders, Mikhail Kravets squad fails to give a worthy rebuff, and it loses by a difference of several goals. Plus, the last meetings between the teams ended in favor of the "bears" in regular time. The hosts are still in brilliant shape and literally the day before they were able to beat CSKA by a large margin, so it will not be difficult for them to deal with Kunlun.
Prediction - Traktor wins with Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals for 1.62
Bet on individual total
Traktor is one of the most productive clubs in the league at the moment. As a rule, the team scores at least three or four goals, especially when playing with the support of home stands. Chelyabinsk players score especially many goals against outsiders and do not forgive them for their mistakes. Kunlun, as we remember, remains the most conceding team in the championship, so it makes sense to bet on the individual total of the hosts.
We take the individual total of "Traktor" more than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.70
Total Bet
The meetings between the clubs last season were spectacular and "high-scoring". "Traktor" will definitely not be afraid to go on the attack and will try to score as much as possible, and "Kunlun", in turn, as usual, will try to respond in counterattacks. The last matches with the participation of Benoit Groux team usually took place with six or more goals scored. Based on this, we suggest betting on the total over.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.85
