Siberia vs Lada: forecast for the KHL match
As part of the KHL regular season, a duel between Sibir and Lada will take place on February 11. Novosibirsk residents have recently shown quite good results, unlike Tolyatti residents, who still cannot come to their senses and are on a long series of defeats. Nevertheless, the last meeting between the clubs was a hard-fought one, but it still ended in favor of the Owls. What is the best bet to make on this confrontation? You can find out about this from our forecast
Command Analysis
Sibir Novosibirsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Sibir is now in the playoff zone and is in the eighth position of the Eastern Conference. The team can feel quite comfortable, as they are nine points ahead of their nearest pursuer and are in pretty good shape right now. For a long period of time, she goes without a series of defeats and often earns points. So, the last time she lost within 60 minutes was a little less than a month ago, and in three of the previous four meetings she celebrated success.
Novosibirsk had previously dealt with Traktor (4:3), Ak Bars (1:0), and after a not particularly successful match against Barys (3:4 OT), they pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over Admiral on the road with a score of 4:3 in overtime. In the final meeting, before a short break, the Snowmen defeated Amur 5-1, without encountering any special problems. Oddly enough, they showed great performance and scored five goals, although they usually have a lot of difficulties creating and implementing chances.
We would like to emphasize that Novosibirsk has enjoyed a great numerical advantage this season and remains the best in the league in this indicator, currently having 27.9% of excess sales. However, Sibir is not playing the third twenty minutes in the best way and has a 45:48 ratio in terms of goals scored and missed. By the way, the club does not show such good results on the home arena as on its own ice, and up to this point it had managed to win only seven victories in regular time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gordeev will not be able to play in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Siberia gets an average of 6.34 minutes of penalty time per match.
Novosibirsk players are usually eliminated about three times per game.
- According to statistics, Siberia makes 26 shots on target.
"Snowmen" usually show a fairly low throwing activity and threaten the opponent's goal no more than 26 times.
Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada ended up outside the playoff zone and is currently in tenth place in the Eastern Conference. The team can hardly qualify for the top eight this season, as it has already seriously lagged behind its competitors and is still showing weak results and is on a series of failures. Let's remind that the club won its last victory almost a month ago, and since that moment it has already suffered eight defeats.
On their ice, Tolyatti had previously lost to Ak Bars (1:3), Avtomobilist (2:4), and also lost to Neftekhimik with a score of 3:4. In the decisive confrontation with Avangard, they tried to impose a tight fight on a powerful opponent, but they still lost in the main time (1:2). At the same time, in most cases, Pavel Zubov's team was characterized by mediocre performance and could not open the opponents' defense more than once or twice. By the way, the team is still one of the most memorable in its conference and has scored only 115 goals all the time.
The most disastrous performance of Lada can be called the second game segment, in which it has a 38:49 ratio of goals scored and conceded. The Owls also have a very poor numerical advantage and currently have only 12.6% of excess sales, being in the penultimate position in the championship according to this indicator, and this, in turn, greatly hinders them in crucial moments of the match.
Disqualifications and injuries
Chernikov, Chervonenko, Fisenko and Groshev will not be able to help their team in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Lada gets an average of 7.65 minutes of penalty time per match.
Togliatti players are usually eliminated at least four times per match and do not have perfect discipline.
- According to statistics, Lada allows you to make 33 shots on your goal.
Lada spends most of its time in its own zone and operates as a second number.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.95The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the hosts
In four out of five matches, Novosibirsk achieved victory in the second leg.
2.30Tip and bets
We think that Siberia should succeed in this confrontation and do it within the regular time. The Snowmen are now actively fighting to retain their position within the playoff zone, and also have the opportunity to strengthen their position, so they must deal with opponents outside the eight on the home arena. Moreover, before that, the Tolyatti team showed very poor results and lost to opponent after opponent, while not earning points. Based on this, we suggest betting on a clean victory for the hosts.
Forecast - Sibir's victory in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
Lada has shown mediocre defensive play in previous matches and usually allowed opponents to score at least three or four times. Togliatti players on the road, in general, play poorly in defense and allow their opponents too much in their own zone. Siberia, in turn, has not had any problems with the implementation of chances lately and has scored a lot, so it makes sense to bet on its individual total.
We take Siberia's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.69
Bet on the total total
We wouldn't expect a lot of goals scored in this match. Sibir concedes quite a bit on their ice, and in matches with opponents outside the playoff zone, they usually manage less than two or three goals conceded. By the way, the three previous matches out of five between the teams also took place with four or fewer goals scored.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.57
