1.60Tip and bets
Avangard won a confident victory over Admiral after returning to Omsk. Guy Boucher team did not look their best on the road, but in Siberia, Vladimir Tkachev squad often demonstrates its best hockey. The Hawks have won all home games this year and have always scored at least three times per game. Salavat Yulaev is not so dangerous on the road and in the last match against Ak Bars, the Ufa team spent a lot of energy. Quite recently, the teams have already met each other on the ice of the G-Drive Arena and then the black-reds were stronger. We believe that they will win this time too. We suggest betting on the victory of the first with a zero handicap.
Betting Tip - Avangard victory with Asian handicap (0) for 1.67
Bet on individual total
Salavat Yulaev plays strong defense at home, but often concede a lot on the road. On average, the red light behind the goal of Viktor Kozlov team lights up three times per away match. Avangard is great at converting its chances in Omsk and has scored at least three goals per game in all games in January. We think that the hosts will be able to do the same on Wednesday.
We bet on Avangard individual total of over 2.5 goals for 1.82
Total Bet
Matches between teams are usually not very productive, but they are not completely closed either. This season, only one out of four matches did not have at least five goals scored, and twice the opponents scored more than five times. We believe that the hosts will open the match and force the guests to go forward. The motivation of both sides is off the charts, so we believe in bright hockey.
We take the total over 4.5 pucks with the coefficient 1.60
