Kunlun — Avtomobilist: forecast for the KHL match
Avtomobilist will try to win its 11th victory in a row on February 4 in Mytishchi. The team from Yekaterinburg has gained momentum and ranks first in the East in terms of the percentage of points scored. Kunlun has made a serious breakthrough this winter and is not losing hope of reaching the playoffs. At the same time, the Chinese did not show strong hockey at the start of the home series and did not score a single point in Mytishchi in two games.

Command Analysis
HC Red Star Kunlun
ChinaCurrent form
Kunlun continues to struggle to qualify for the playoffs, but recently it has been moving further away from the eighth place in the West. Mikhail Kravets' team has long been entrenched in ninth place in the West and has 48 points in its piggy bank after 51 matches. The Chinese team slowed down after a strong stretch at the start of the new year and currently has only two wins in seven matches. After successfully completing the away series and defeating Vityaz (2:1), the Dragons returned home and dealt with Traktor (4:3, OT). In the final game of January, the Stars lost to Sochi (2:4), and a day later they lost heavily to the guests from the Republic of Tatarstan (3:6).
The Beijing team remains the worst in the league in terms of defensive numbers. On average, Kunlun concedes 3.25 goals per game, while at home they concede 3.52 goals per match. At the same time, the Stars have made significant improvements in reliability lately and have made fewer defensive mistakes. Jeremy Smith remains the number one on the team, he has blocked 91.42% of shots this season.
Tomas Jurcio is Kunlun's top scorer throughout the regular season, but now he is injured. The Slovak striker scored 29 goals (9+20) and is on the 65th line in the list of KHL goalkeepers. Spencer Fu scored and earned one point less (14+14) and is also one of the top 100 hockey players in the league's offensive plan. Along with them, Tyler Graovac (11+15) is among the league's hundred leaders.

Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avtomobilist is in third place in the Eastern Conference and has 68 points to its credit after 50 starts. Nikolay Zavarukhin's team has gained at the start of the new calendar year and can even break out into the first position if they continue to win. The Uralians have ten wins in a row, and the last time they lost was at the very beginning of January. Machinists won against Avangard (2:1), Lada (5:3) and Amur (5:4) in Yekaterinburg, and at the start of the guest tour they were stronger than Filins in Tolyatti (4:2). The guests were losing by the middle of the match, but they pulled themselves together and succeeded within the regular time.
Vladislav Galkin and Evgeny Alikin were not very good in December, but in the new year they are showing reliability at the last line of defense. In the first half of January, Alikin took to the ice more often, but in the previous three starts, Galkin defended the gates of the Urals. The young goalkeeper made 92.33% of saves and scored three shutouts in 29 matches.
Stefan Da Costa is close to dropping out of the top ten of the league's top scorers. The Frenchman currently has 45 points (11+34) in the goal+pass system, and he continues to assist his partners in large numbers. He is followed by Brooks Maysek, who scored 36 goals (18+18) and completed the attacks of the "Motorist" more often. The rest of the hockey players can't boast of a strong offensive game yet.

1.80The 3rd periodbet: Avtomobilist will score
The Urals scored in the second period in four games.
1.40Tip and bets
Avtomobilist has gained furious form and is close to returning to the first place in the conference table. Nikolay Zavarukhin's team won ten games in a row and showed brilliant execution of chances and reliability in their half of the court. Kunlun had a good run at the beginning of the new year, but now the Chinese have slowed down again and started skipping a lot. We think that the "machinists" simply will not allow the opponent to create scoring chances and will win in Mytishchi without any problems. We suggest betting on the victory of the guests in the main time.
Forecast - victory of "Avtomobilist" in 1.82
Betting on an individual total
The Uralians are very strong defensively and rarely allow their opponents to score a lot. The team led by Nikolay Zavarukhin has missed more than twice, only twice in the last seven starts. The Dragons are capable of playing strongly in attack, but now they have lost their top scorer and in previous games they were not very good ahead.
We bet on the individual total of Kunlun less than two goals with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on the total total
This season, the teams played each other in Yekaterinburg, and then the two scored only two goals in regular time. The Pekingese have improved in terms of reliability, and the guests have no problems in defense. In our opinion, the meeting will turn out to be closed and will not please the stands with a large number of accurate shots. Let's bet on a total of fewer goals.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.70
