Traktor vs. Amur: KHL Match Prediction
On January 3, Traktor will meet Amur on home ice. Before the holidays, the Chelyabinsk team did not have stable results and did not often please their fans, but the Khabarovsk team also experienced many problems and often lost. Last month, the teams met, and then the Bears proved their superiority over their opponent in a tough fight. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You will find out from the forecast
Command Analysis
Traktor
Russian FederationCurrent form
Traktor is currently in second place in the Eastern Conference and has earned a total of 54 points. The team is literally a couple of points behind the current leader, so if they want, they can return to first place again, but this will require a lot of effort. Note that over the course of a month, the Chelyabinsk team has demonstrated unstable results and could not get into a long winning streak. The maximum they could achieve was two victories in a row.
Let us recall that back then the "bears" dealt with "Barys" twice, but after that they lost to "Avtomobilist" (1:3) and "Ak Bars" (0:4). Only in the last match of the outgoing year did Benoit Groux team manage to pull themselves together and dealt with "Neftekhimik" on the road with a score of 6:2, while showing such a performance for the first time in a long time. By the way, the club remains the most scoring in its conference today, although in recent matches it has not shone with a classy game in attack.
Let us emphasize that the Chelyabinsk team is doing great in the third twenty minutes, in which they almost always score goals and have a 49:39 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. The main scorer in the team remains Maxim Shabanov, who has already managed to earn 40 points in the goal + pass system, and he continues to please the fans with his high-quality play.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Traktor gets 6.02 minutes of penalty time per match
Usually, Chelyabinsk players are sent off no more than three times per game
- Traktor wins 53.3% of faceoffs
The Bears are doing well at the point and taking most of the faceoffs
Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur remains the main outsider of the Eastern Conference and still ranks last in the standings. The team is currently lagging behind its main competitor Barys by literally two points. Theoretically, it can make up for this gap quite easily, but in practice it will not be easy, especially considering how hard it is for them to win. Let us emphasize that if at the start of the season the Khabarovsk team showed good results and were in contention to get into the playoffs, then everything went downhill for them.
Even the resignation of the head coach, Andrey Martemyanov, did not help. Of course, Viktor Kostyuchenok made rotations in the lineup, thanks to which the club began to score much more than before, but in response, he now misses a lot and still cannot bring the matter to a victorious end. Note that before the New Year break, the "tigers" also often found themselves on a losing streak.
Thus, unexpectedly for many, they crushed Sibir (5:1) on the road, after which they lost twice to Salavat Yulaev (0:3 and 4:5 OT), and in the final confrontation with Novosibirsk on their home ice they lost with a score of 3:4. The second game segment can safely be called the most disastrous in the performance of Amur, in which it has a ratio of 25:56 in goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mishchenko will not be able to take part in the upcoming meeting due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Amur receives 7.43 minutes of penalty time per match
Khabarovsk players are usually sent off at least four times per game
- On average, Amur takes no less than 32 shots when playing away
The Tigers are showing high shooting activity and are trying to threaten the opponent goal from any position
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches involving Khabarovsk players, the first period was productive
1.95Bet 3rd period: guests will score
In the last five matches against the Chelyabinsk team, the visitors scored goals in the third period
1.85Tip and bets
We think that Amur will put up a fight against their opponent in the upcoming match. The Chelyabinsk team has not been shining with excellent results recently, and victories have been hard to come by. Khabarovsk has already met Traktor on its home ice this season and almost brought the matter to overtime, losing by only one goal. In general, Khabarovsk is a very unpleasant and inconvenient opponent for the Bears, even in this form. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the fact that Gro team could have lost its game rhythm after the holidays.
Forecast - Amur win with Asian handicap (+1.5) on goals for 1.87
Bet on individual total
In previous encounters, Amur showed good results and usually scored no less than two or three goals. Traktor often makes many mistakes in defense in face-to-face matches with Khabarovsk and concedes no less than three times on average. In general, in December, the Bears experienced serious difficulties in defense and once conceded three times even from Barys, so it makes sense to bet on the Tigers' individual total.
We take the individual total of “Amur” more than two goals for 2.05
Total Bet
Matches between the clubs are usually spectacular and have at least five goals scored. Considering the style in which Amur has been playing over the past two months, it is quite possible that the upcoming meeting will also be productive. The Khabarovsk team will definitely not let their opponent get bored and will try to play on the opposite course.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals for 2.05
