Kunlun vs. Lada: KHL Match Prediction
On November 29, Kunlun will settle the score at home with Lada. Red Star is in its best form of the season and is on a series of four victories, while the Togliatti team has just come off an unsuccessful series. Previous meetings between the clubs have often been in favor of the home team. However, bookmakers consider the visitors to be slight favorites in the upcoming confrontation. Does it make sense to bet on their success? You can find out from the forecast
Command Analysis
HC Red Star Kunlun
ChinaCurrent form
Kunlun is in tenth place in the West and has very little chance of making it to the playoffs this season, as it is already seven points behind the top eight. However, the team has improved significantly recently and has had a series of four victories. It is safe to say that it is in its best shape for the entire season. Recall that on its home court, Red Star was able to deal with Dynamo Minsk (3:0), after which it went on the road, where it beat Avtomobilist (2:1 B), Traktor (4:1), and also proved its superiority over Neftekhimik with a score of 3:1.
It is surprising that Mikhail Kravets' team has a minimal number of goals conceded, although it still has the worst defense in the league and has conceded 110 goals in total. If it continues in the same vein, it will certainly become unpleasant for many opponents, but at the same time it is unlikely to be able to significantly improve its position in the table.
It should also be remembered that Kunlun is playing much more powerful away from home this year than on home ice, as it was only able to win one victory in regulation time in front of home fans. As a rule, the team plays best in the final twenty minutes compared to other periods and currently has 30:28 in goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kunlun currently has no problems with its roster.
Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, Kunlun allows at least 34 shots on their goal
Red Star usually doesn't play the best defense and doesn't have time to block shots
- Kunlun gets 8.1 minutes of penalty time
A team usually doesn't get sent off more than four times in a match.
Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada was recently in the playoff zone, but now it is in tenth place in the Eastern Conference. The team has shown rather poor results recently and has faced a long series of six defeats. On home ice, it lost to CSKA (1:4) and Salavat Yulaev (1:2 SO), and on the road it failed to cope with Sochi (2:3). However, in the final confrontation with Severstal, being an outsider, the Togliatti team unexpectedly for many achieved success with a score of 3:0, without a single missed puck, which has happened to them quite rarely this season.
However, it is impossible to say for sure that the resignation of the head coach, Oleg Bratash, was good for the club, since it began to lose points much more often than before, and there is no particular progress in its game. The most disastrous performance of Lada is the second game period, in which it has a ratio of 22:29 in goals scored and goals conceded and is completely unable to cope with the speed.
Also, throughout the year, the "owls" have shown a weak game in the majority and occupy one of the last positions in this indicator. As of today, they have only 12% of the extra man realization. But in the minority, the team looks very good and has 83.5% of the opponent majority neutralization.
Disqualifications and injuries
Chervonenko and Popugaev will not be able to take part in the upcoming fight

The "Filins" play well in the final period and often score goals in it
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches involving the home team, the first period was productive
2.10Bet 3rd period: home team win
In two out of three meetings against the Togliatti team, the hosts kept the third period for themselves
2.77Tip and bets
We believe that Kunlun is unfairly considered the underdog in this matchup. Red Star has looked great lately and has won most of the matches. It also often ended previous matches against Lada in its favor. Togliatti plays rather poorly on the road and has just broken a long losing streak. Plus, the hosts had more time to rest and recuperate, while Togliatti has already played two matches in a row on the road. Based on this, we suggest betting on Kunlun to win.
Forecast - victory of “Kunlun” with a handicap (0) for 1.95
Bet on individual total
"Lada" often shows mediocre results, and goals are given to it with great difficulty. In many previous matches, the Togliatti team could not open the opponent defense more than twice. "Kunlun", in turn, in four previous matches remained with a minimum number of goals conceded. If Mikhail Kravets' team acts in a similar way, then the guests will definitely not be able to distinguish themselves three times.
We bet on Lada individual total under 2.5 goals for 1.80
Total Bet
Previous matches between the teams were not particularly productive. Both Kunlun and Lada finished most of their recent matches with less than five goals scored. This time, the teams will probably be wary of each other and will not dare to play open hockey on opposite courses. We think that in this confrontation, it will be impossible to see many goals.
We take the total under 5.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.53
