Kunlun - Sochi: betting tip for the KHL match

Current form

Kunlun had recently been on the decline, which is why they could not achieve the desired result for three games in a row. The team interrupted its long winning streak, playing away, where they were able to impose a worthy fight on Avangard, but ultimately suffered a defeat in regulation time with a score of 2:3. The defensive line played too weakly, allowing the hawks to create a huge number of dangerous moments, and it was only by a miracle and due to the efforts of the goalkeeper that they managed to avoid a rout. Then the club went to visit Spartak, where they were unable to score a single puck, losing dry (0:2). Not a single shot out of 25 hit the target. It seemed that after such a weak performance, the team would be able to gather strength and give a worthy rebuff to Severstal, but this did not happen. Red Star played much more actively in attack, but this did not increase the number of goals scored. There were huge problems with converting attacking opportunities, of which there were plenty, and in the end we had to give in dry (0:3).

Kravets' team managed to break their losing streak in a match with an opponent of their level, Vityaz, winning with a score of 2:1. In particular, it is worth praising defenseman Clendening, who scored a goal and gave an assist. Goalkeeper Rybar also made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 96% of the shots, which did not allow Podolsk to cling to even one point. Returning to the home arena, the team met with the clear favorite - Traktor. It seemed that Kunlun did not have many chances for success, since the Chelyabinsk team was in optimal shape. Despite this, the home team showed a very productive game in attack and due to this were able to seize a significant advantage at the beginning of the meeting. The opponent still tied the score, but this did not prevent Red Star from snatching victory in overtime (4:3). This time it is difficult to even single out any of the players, since many distinguished themselves with effective actions. It is worth noting that the club has recently managed to gain a fairly large number of points, which has brought it much closer to the playoff zone, the gap from which is six points.
