Siberia vs. CSKA: KHL match betting tip
As part of the regular KHL championship, a duel between Siberia and CSKA will take place on January 19. Previous matches between the clubs almost always ended in favor of the army team, and in the last match, the Novosibirsk team lost with a rout - 2:8. On their home ice, the snowmen will probably try to pull themselves together and impose a tight fight on their counterpart, especially since the guests are also in mediocre shape now. What bet should be made on this event? You will find out from our betting tip
Command Analysis
Sibir Novosibirsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Sibir continues to actively fight for a place in the playoffs and currently occupies the eighth line of the Eastern Conference, ahead of Lada by literally two points. That is why every point is now of great importance for them, since most of the season has already passed, and the team does not have a significant advantage over its competitors. Recently, it has not performed well either, but at least it has managed without defeats within 60 minutes.
It should be noted that before this, Novosibirsk lost to Dynamo Minsk (2:3 OT), dealt with Neftekhimik in the fight (2:1 OT), and then lost at home to Traktor (3:4 SO) and Lokomotiv (2:3 SO). Thus, they brought the two previous matches to a series of shootouts, but luck did not smile on them. By the way, in the game with the leader of the West, Vadim Epanchintsev team still showed its best side, since at some point they even had a minimal advantage, and also took advantage of two attempts of the majority.
This is not surprising, since the Snowmen have been performing well in 5x3 and 5x4 formats throughout the season and occupy the first position in the league in this indicator, currently having 27.9% of the extra man conversion rate. Defender Trevor Murphy also continues to demonstrate incredible results, regularly earning points in the goal+pass system over the course of four games and often scoring himself.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gordeev will not be able to take part in the upcoming meeting due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Siberia has a 41:46 ratio in goals scored and goals conceded in the second period
Novosibirsk players perform mediocrely in the second twenty minutes and usually cannot finish it in their favor
- Siberia averages 6.69 penalty minutes per game
Snowmen are usually removed no more than three times per game and are distinguished by good discipline
CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
CSKA is in fourth place in the Western Conference and has 59 points. The team may end up in seventh place in the standings in the near future if it continues to play in the same spirit. It should be noted that since the beginning of the year, its game has not been going well at all, and so far there has been no progress in its hockey. The Muscovites make do with rare single victories and cannot get on a winning streak.
They have lost five of their previous six encounters. Not long ago, the Army team lost to Dynamo Minsk (0:2) and Kunlun (0:3) on the road. After a home victory over Spartak (4:2), it seemed that they had come to their senses, but in the next encounter with Avangard, Ilya Vorobyov team again lost with a score of 0:4, without a single goal scored. At the same time, in that encounter with Omsk, they made a total of 30 shots and had four attempts to convert the extra man, but were unable to use any of them.
In general, the Muscovites have been showing a rather weak away game this season and have managed to win only seven victories within 60 minutes. By the way, they often have problems creating and converting chances away from home, so it is rare to see them score more than two goals. It should also be noted that, unlike Siberia, CSKA has only a 17.8% majority conversion rate, which is a rather weak indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Samorukov will not be able to take part in the upcoming confrontation.
Interesting trends for betting
- CSKA has a 38:26 ratio of goals scored and conceded in the first period
The army team plays strongly in the first period of the game and often scores goals in it
- According to statistics, CSKA makes 29 shots on target
Typically, the team demonstrates high shooting activity and threatens the opponent goal at least 30 times
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In three out of four matches involving CSKA, the first period was unscoring
1.70Bet 3rd period: CSKA victory
In three out of five meetings against Novosibirsk, CSKA kept the third period for itself
2.30Tip and bets
In our opinion, CSKA has every chance of a favorable outcome for itself in this confrontation. The army men, of course, are in bad shape, but in matches with such opponents they are obliged to earn two points if they still want to continue the fight for the leading positions in the West. Plus, the Muscovites ended the previous matches against Siberia in their favor and often achieved success in regular time. Also, the Novosibirsk team itself is in a bad mood after a series of unsuccessful matches, so even the support of the stands is unlikely to help them.
Prediction - CSKA win for 2.05
Bet on individual total
Siberia in most cases ends up with a minimum number of goals scored and cannot score more than two goals. After a series of unsuccessful matches, CSKA will probably try to play as reliably as possible in defense and will pay more attention to this aspect. Novosibirsk residents show low efficiency in matches with such opponents, so we do not think that they will score three times in the upcoming confrontation.
We take Siberia individual total under 2.5 goals for 1.60
Total Bet
Previous meetings between the clubs were productive, but we would not expect a large number of goals in the upcoming match. Siberia has finished the last four out of five matches with fewer than six goals scored, and the matches involving the army team were often low-scoring. The teams will act carefully in their zone and spend a lot of time in a power struggle, so it makes sense to bet on the total under.
We bet on total under 5.5 goals for 1.60
