“Amur” - “Sochi”: forecast for the KHL match
On December 2, Amur will host a fight against Sochi on its home ice. For the first time in a long time, the Khabarovsk team is the favorite of the match and, according to bookmakers, should break the losing streak on its home ice. However, the Leopards are not going to give away two points to their opponent for nothing. Plus, the last meeting in Khabarovsk between the clubs ended with a big victory for the visitors. What bet should you place on the upcoming event? You will find out from our forecast
Command Analysis
Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur is in the last position of the Eastern Conference and has earned only 15 points. The team will most likely not be able to somehow improve its position in the table for a long time, since it is still six points behind Barys and loses match after match. Of course, not long ago it was finally able to break a series of 14 defeats, beating Barys (3:0) and throwing off a huge burden of responsibility from its shoulders, but globally this did not affect the situation in any way. Note that after a successful match, the Khabarovsk team again suffered two defeats in a row.
So, first they couldn't handle Admiral on the road (3:5), and then on their home ice they lost to SKA with a score of 5:7. In the previous meeting, the Tigers at least gave their fans a real show, since they scored five goals and almost made a comeback from a score of 3:6 in the last minutes of the third period, but still missed the decisive goal into an empty net.
Alex Galchenyuk continues to show incredible play, who after being transferred to the first three of the attack began to earn points on a regular basis, and in the last confrontation with the army team he even scored a hat trick. It is worth mentioning that, in general, after the resignation of the head coach, Amur changed its approach to the game and began to play more open hockey. Of course, so far this has not brought him any particular results, but at least he began to score a lot.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bobkov, Brosso, Bryntsev will not take part in the upcoming fight due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Amur has scored at least three goals in its last six matches
Khabarovsk residents have significantly improved their performance and have begun to score three times more often
- Amur has 14:42 in goals scored and conceded in the second period
The Tigers continue to have a poor second period and almost always concede goals.
HC Sochi
Russian FederationCurrent form
Sochi is the main outsider of the Western Conference, but at the same time it is behind the same Kunlun by only a couple of points, so in the near future, with a favorable outcome, it can get out of the last line. Not so long ago, Sochi experienced a successful period, during which they were able to win three victories, but in four previous meetings out of five they suffered defeat. The team was able to deal only with Lada (3:2), but after the victory they lost to Ak Bars (2:3 OT) on their ice, and also could not cope with Admiral on the road - 3:4.
It is noteworthy that in the last match with the Vladivostok team, the "leopards" had every chance of a favorable outcome. Then they realized the majority at the end of the third period, thanks to which they took the lead, but after that they themselves missed two goals in a row and were not even able to transfer the game to overtime. After such an offensive defeat, it will be very difficult for them to recover psychologically.
The positive thing is that in that game Sergei Zubov team took advantage of two attempts in the 5x4 format, thanks to which they now have an average of 20% of the extra man conversion. However, the club most unsuccessful performance is still the starting game segment, because today they have a ratio of 21:35 in goals scored and goals conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikonov and Vengryzhanovsky will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sochi gets 7.27 minutes of penalty time
Sochi is not one of the most disciplined clubs and is sent off on average about four times per match
- On average, Sochi allows 32 shots on their goal
The Leopards play a style of hockey on opposite courses and often act as the second number
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In two out of three matches between the clubs, the first period was productive
2.00Bet 2nd period: Sochi will score
In three out of five matches, the visitors scored in the second period
1.65Tip and bets
We think that Sochi has every chance to earn points in the upcoming match. The Leopards are currently performing no worse than their counterparts, so it is not entirely clear what explains such a low coefficient for Amur success in this match. Sochi was very close to victory in the last match with Admiral, to whom the Khabarovsk team recently lost in regulation time. Plus, the last time the Tigers won on home ice was in the middle of last month, so we would not think that the upcoming meeting will be easy for them.
Forecast - Sochi win with Asian handicap (+1) on goals for 1.65
Bet on individual total
Amur changed its approach to the game and began to act exclusively on counter courses, which is why it began to score much more, but now on average it misses in response at least four times. Sochi, in turn, scored at least three goals in four of the previous six matches. Plus, the Khabarovsk team itself missed at least three times in six previous matches out of seven. Based on this, it makes sense to bet on the individual total of the guests.
We take the individual total of Sochi more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.30
Total Bet
Previous matches involving the home team were spectacular and often had six or more goals scored. The team is currently playing open hockey. Khabarovsk players use their chances well, but they concede a lot in response. Sochi players also play many games with a total over, because they are used to playing on counter-courses and are not afraid to concede an extra goal, because they themselves score a lot, especially in games with outsiders, so it makes sense to bet on a total over.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks for 2.20
