Traktor - Lada: KHL match betting tip
As part of the regular KHL championship, a match between Traktor and Lada will take place on January 7, for which we will try to present an accurate betting tip. Chelyabinsk, quite expectedly, are the clear favorites of this confrontation and, of course, should earn two points. However, recently the game of Chelyabinsk has not been going well, and the previous meeting between the clubs was an equal fight, ending only in overtime. What bet to make on this event? You will find out further
Command Analysis
Traktor
Russian FederationCurrent form
Traktor temporarily topped the Eastern Conference table and is currently ahead of its closest rival by literally one point, but has played three more matches, so we can say that the club is formally in second place. Note that the team's game hasn't been going well lately, and it has been losing a lot of points. Before the holidays, it lost to Ak Bars (0:4) on the road and dealt with Neftekhimik (6:2). After returning from the holidays, the Chelyabinsk team lost to Amur at home again (2:3 OT), but in the final confrontation with Avtomobilist, they still celebrated success with a score of 2:0.
Let us emphasize that they were partly lucky in the meeting with the Yekaterinburg team, since the score remained tied until the 58th minute, and only thanks to a goal by Charles Robinson, who was the most efficient in the opponent's crease, the Bears were able to earn two points in regular time. One cannot help but note the actions of Zachary Fucale, who made a total of 25 saves.
However, for a long period of time, Benoit Groux's team has had a hard time scoring goals, and in matches with their main rivals, they usually can't score more than two goals. By the way, Traktor is always distinguished by high throwing activity and threatens the opponent's goal 33 times on average, but the realization of moments is not always at a high level.
Disqualifications and injuries
Traktor currently has no problems with its roster
Interesting trends for betting
- Traktor has 51:40 in goals scored and goals conceded in the third period
Chelyabinsk players are most productive in the third twenty minutes and often score goals in it
- Traktor gets 5.98 penalty minutes per match
The Bears remain one of the most disciplined clubs in the league today.
Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada is currently outside the playoff zone, but continues to actively fight for a place in the top eight. Note that it is literally a couple of points behind the eighth line, so even two wins in a row can return it to the zone. However, the Togliatti team does not have very stable results to overtake Siberia in the near future. At best, they alternate victories with defeats, but this is clearly not enough.
Let us recall that earlier the Filiny lost in the fight to Avangard (6:7), dealt with Avtomobilist (3:2 B), and already in the new year they lost away to Ak Bars (1:3), but celebrated a victory in the meeting with Barys, literally crushing it with a score of 5:0. Incidentally, the first shutout of the current season was recorded by Alexander Trushkov, who became the number one after the departure of Vladislav Pod'yapolsky.
It is also worth mentioning that Pavel Zubov's team has started to show better results than before, and in many matches has started to score no less than three goals, but still remains one of the least productive clubs in the championship. Plus, Lada continues to have difficulties with the majority and currently has only 12.4% of the extra man's power play, which is, of course, a very weak indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Chervonenko and Popugaev will not be able to take part in the fight due to injury
Interesting trends for betting
- Lada averages 6.95 penalty minutes per match
Usually Togliatti players are sent off at least three times per game
- Lada has 29:39 in goals scored and goals conceded in the second period
The second twenty minutes was the most unsuccessful in the performance of the Togliatti team.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches involving the home team, the first period was unscoring
1.62Bet 3rd period: guests will score
In four out of five matches, Togliatti scored goals in the third period
1.95Tip and bets
Trator is, of course, the favorite in this matchup, as it occupies the leading position in the East, while Lada is outside the playoff zone. However, we would not bet on the home team's success, given their current form. Victories are hard to come by for the Chelyabinsk team. The Togliatti team must be absolutely ready for this meeting and must show their best side, as they did in previous matches. Plus, this season the owls have already managed to earn one point in a face-to-face match with the bears.
Betting Tip - Lada win with Asian handicap (+1.5) on pucks for 1.75
Bet on individual total
Lada hasn't had any problems with scoring lately and often scored more than two goals. Traktor, in turn, has started to concede noticeably more than before. Despite the fact that even in the confrontation with Avtomobilist the hosts remained without a single missed goal, we think that in the upcoming meeting Pavel Zubov's team will be able to score at least two goals.
We bet on Lada's individual total over 1.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Total Bet
Matches between the clubs are rarely productive and usually end with fewer than six goals. All previous meetings between Traktor and Lada, which took place within the KHL over the past two seasons, were rather low-scoring. Lada still adheres to a closed style of play, so it is unlikely that the Bears will be able to score much in this confrontation. Based on this, we bet on the total under.
We take the total under 5.5 pucks for 1.52
