Siberia - Neftekhimik: betting tip for the KHL match
As part of the KHL regular championship, a match between Sibir and Neftekhimik awaits us on January 13. Both teams have shown unstable results throughout the season, so it will be difficult to identify a favorite in this confrontation. By the way, the clubs are direct competitors for each other, as they are actively fighting to get into the playoffs. Will the home court help the snowmen? What bet should you place on this event? You will find out from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Sibir Novosibirsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Sibir is currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference and has 40 points. The team certainly cannot feel completely comfortable, since it is literally one point ahead of its closest pursuer and has played one match more than Lada. Plus, the Novosibirsk team continues to show mediocre results and after a successful period is on a series of three defeats.
Let us recall that they dealt with Salavat Yulaev (4:1) on the road, after which they lost to Neftekhimik (1:2), Torpedo (0:2), and also failed to cope with Dynamo Minsk (2:3 OT). In the latter case, the Novosibirsk team even had a minimal advantage twice, but they were unable to bring it to victory, missing the decisive goal literally in the first minute of extra time. Incidentally, in that meeting, the Snowmen showed low shooting activity and spent very little time in the attack zone.
By the way, Vadim Epanchintsev team is doing no better at home than away. Over the entire period, the club has managed to win only seven victories within 60 minutes. The club feels least comfortable in the second game segment, where it has a 38:44 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. But Sibir plays well in 5x3 and 5x4 formats and currently has exactly 29% of the extra man power play.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gordeev will not be able to play in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sibir gets 6.69 minutes of penalty time per match

- According to statistics, Sibir makes 25 shots on target
Usually, the "snowmen" do not threaten the opponent goal more than 25 times
Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Neftekhimik is currently in tenth place in the Eastern Conference and is literally one point behind its rival, so it can be said that it is a direct competitor of Sibir this season. However, it is far from certain that even if the team manages to climb into the playoff zone, it will be able to stay there, since it is distinguished by rare victories and, as a rule, is on a long series of failures.
The Nizhnekamsk team recently faced another series of six defeats and went into the holidays in a bad mood. Fortunately, after the defeats by Traktor (2:6) and Avangard (1:5), they pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over the same Sibir on their home ice (2:1). However, they were unable to secure a second victory in a row, since in the final confrontation with Salavat Yulaev, Oleg Leontyev team lost with a score of 4:7. In that match, they even had a comfortable advantage of two goals, but were unable to develop it.
Nizhnekamsk usually performs worst in the opening game period, where they have a 24:41 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. On the road this season, Neftekhimik has demonstrated a rather mediocre game and has only managed to celebrate success three times within 60 minutes throughout the season, and at the same time, at least three goals have usually ended up in its net.
Disqualifications and injuries
Abrasimov and Dergachev will not be able to take part in the upcoming fight.
Interesting trends for betting
- Neftekhimik receives an average of 7.02 penalty minutes per match
Nizhnekamsk players are usually sent off at least three or four times per game
- According to statistics, Neftekhimik allows 34 shots on its goal
The Wolves spend a lot of time in their own zone and operate as a second team, typically allowing 34 shots on goal.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In the last five matches between the clubs, the first period was unproductive
1.62Bet 2nd period: guests will score
In the three previous meetings, the visitors scored goals in the second period
1.70Tip and bets
We think that Neftekhimik can claim two points in this confrontation. Nizhnekamsk has recently met its opponent on its home ice and proved its superiority in regulation time. In our opinion, bookmakers overestimate Novosibirsk in this confrontation. The teams perform at approximately the same level and have similar problems. Plus, previous meetings between them, as a rule, were tough fights and ended with a minimal difference in the score. We think that in the upcoming confrontation, the "wolves" will be able to bring the matter to at least overtime.
Betting Tip - Neftekhimik will not lose for 1.80
Bet on individual total
"Sibir" shows mediocre efficiency and usually cannot open the opponent defense more than twice. Novosibirsk has had problems with creating and realizing chances throughout the season. In the three previous matches, the "snowmen" also scored less than three goals. "Neftekhimik", of course, does not have a reliable defense, but even last time they conceded only one goal from the "snowmen".
We bet on the individual total of "Siberia" under 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.95
Total Bet
The last match between the clubs ended with only three goals scored. The teams played extremely carefully and created very few dangerous moments. On their home ice, Sibir also adheres to a more closed style of play and is not used to taking many risks. Every point is important for both Novosibirsk and Nizhnekamsk, so they will most likely prefer to play more reliably in their own zone. We think that in the upcoming confrontation we should not expect a large number of goals.
We take the total under 4.5 goals for 2.05
