Avangard vs. Barys: KHL match betting tip
Avangard will settle the score with Barys on its home ice on January 31 and will try to rehabilitate itself before its fans for the defeat in the last match. Astana residents have been playing very poorly away from home this season and in most cases lose within the regular time, so it is not surprising that bookmakers consider the home team to be the clear favorites of this confrontation. Is it worth betting on their success? You can find out about this from our betting tip
Command Analysis
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard is currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference and has 53 points. The team can hardly claim to improve its position in the tournament table, since it is 11 points behind fifth place, but it can try to hold on to its current position. Incidentally, with the arrival of Guy Boucher as head coach, things have gone uphill for the Omsk team, and they have begun to demonstrate the results that fans expected from them, however, recently they have not looked their best and have suffered three defeats in four matches.
The Hawks first lost to Salavat Yulaev on the road (0:4), failed to cope with Avtomobilist (1:2), and after a confident home victory over Admiral (4:1), with the support of the stands, they again lost to the same Ufa team, but did so with a score of 2:4. Incidentally, in the confrontation with the Greens, they completely failed the opening 40 minutes, during which they conceded three unanswered goals, and only in the third period did they pull themselves together, but it was too late to make a full-fledged comeback.
In general, Avangard plays quite powerfully on its home ice this season and has already managed to win 14 victories within 60 minutes. It is also worth mentioning that the Omsk team makes great use of the numerical advantage and currently has a 24.4% conversion rate on extra man power, which puts them in second place in the league in this indicator.

Boykov, Grant, MacLeod, Prokhorkin, Soloviev, Stepanov and Tkachev will not be able to help their team in the upcoming meeting.

Barys Nur-Sultan
KazakhstanCurrent form
Barys has been showing poor results throughout the season and losing match after match. The team looks significantly weaker compared to its other opponents. Note that it is already in the last place in the Eastern Conference and is currently one point behind Amur. Sometimes it manages to impose a tough fight on its opponents, and it loses in the fight, but often, of course, it loses by a few goals. Note that the recent losing streak has already totaled 12 matches, but it performed a small miracle on its home ice.
Before that, Astana lost to Lada on the road (0:1), and suffered a very disappointing loss to Ak Bars on the road (4:5 OT). They were unable to recover from such a painful defeat and, with the support of their home crowd, they failed to cope with Lokomotiv (0:3), while again being left without a single goal scored. Fortunately, after the disappointing defeat to Admiral (2:3 SO), they did not give up and, with the support of their home crowd, dealt with Sibir with a score of 4:3 in overtime. At the same time, in the confrontation with Novosibirsk, the Bars came back literally 26 seconds before the final siren and, unlike previous matches, still finished off the opponent in extra time.
Overall, Galym Mambetaliyev team demonstrates incredibly weak attacking play and is the lowest scoring club in the league. Both at home and away, the club rarely scores more than one goal. In addition, Barys makes mediocre use of the numerical advantage and has only an 8.9% conversion rate, ranking last in the league in this indicator.

1.82Tip and bets
We think that Avangard, after three defeats in four matches, will make every effort to win the upcoming confrontation, despite the loss of a large number of players. Even with such a scenario, Barys is still inferior to the Hawks in class and has experienced a lot of problems in away matches throughout the season. Moreover, the Astana team has just emerged from a long series of defeats, and before that they often lost to opponents in the playoff zone by a difference of several goals. It is quite possible that the Omsk team will be able to deal with the Snow Leopards quite confidently.
Betting Tip - Avangard win with Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals for 1.75
Bet on individual total
In meetings with many opponents, Barys has problems with creating and implementing moments and ends up with a minimum number of goals scored. As a rule, Astana residents do not manage to score more than one goal on the road. Plus, in three previous matches out of four against the Snow Leopards, Avangard demonstrated a reliable game in defense and managed with less than two goals conceded.
We bet on Barys' individual total under 1.5 goals for 1.72
Total Bet
It is quite possible that in this confrontation Guy Boucher charges will try to win on class and will not waste much energy, since he will face more powerful opponents ahead. By the way, many previous matches between the teams were ineffective and ended with fewer than five goals scored. Barys himself also played the last three out of five matches with a total less.
We take the total under 4.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.00
