Command Analysis
Traktor
Russian FederationCurrent form
Traktor leads the Eastern Conference table and currently has 74 points in its asset. The team has been showing fairly stable results throughout the season, but it still faces difficulties from time to time. Nevertheless, since the middle of last month, she looks more than decent, and earns points in many meetings. At the moment, Chelyabinsk residents are completely in a series of three victories and, apparently, they are not going to stop there in order to consolidate their leadership in the conference.
Recall that not so long ago, the Bears unexpectedly lost to Kunlun on the road (3:4 OT), after which they dealt with Vityaz (2:0) and, returning to the home arena, proved their superiority over Sochi with a score of 3:2 in overtime. By the way, before the break they also met with Magnitogorsk Metallurg, against whom they celebrated success with a score of 5:2. In that duel with the Foxes, Benoit Groux's squad took advantage of their chances and was able to score five times in just 26 shots.
It should be noted that the third game segment remains the most successful in the performance of Traktor, in which the club feels extremely comfortable and it is no coincidence that it has a 69:47 ratio in terms of abandoned and missed goals. It is also worth mentioning that Chelyabinsk residents enjoy a fairly good numerical advantage and currently have 22.4% of excess sales.

Metallurg Magnitogorsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Metallurg currently occupies the fifth position in the Eastern Conference and has managed to score 66 points so far. The team can still claim to be in the top three, especially if it gets into good condition. So far, it is quite difficult for her to do this, because in most previous fights she was inferior and lost a lot of points. It is likely that things will go better for her after the break, and a short break will help her to unload both mentally and physically.
We emphasize that even before the defeat from Chelyabinsk, Magnitogorsk dealt with Dinamo Minsk (4:1) and Lokomotiv (3:2), but in the confrontation with Salavat Yulaev they lost with a score of 4:6. By the way, in many meetings, Magnitogorsk manages with a minimum number of missed goals and is one of the least permeable in the conference. However, Andrey Razin's squad itself has serious problems from time to time with the implementation of moments, which makes it very difficult for it to complete in its favor those matches in which it concedes three or more goals.
On the road, in general, the "foxes" are not performing in the best way, since they had previously managed to win only nine victories during regular time. The club also plays rather mediocre in the minority and, oddly enough, remains one of the worst in the league in this indicator and has only 76.3% neutralization of the majority of the opponent. And Metallurg does not use its numerical advantage so successfully and has less than 20% of excess sales.

Khabarov and Yeremenko will not be able to help their team in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.

1.95The 3rd periodbet: the guests will score
Magnitogorsk scored goals in the third period in three out of five matches.
1.57Tip and bets
We think that Metallurg has every chance of success in this confrontation. Magnitogorsk will surely draw the right conclusions after losing the last match and try to take revenge, especially considering that they have already managed to defeat Chelyabinsk this season. In general, the teams are about equal in level, so we would not give a clear preference to the owners of the site. Andrey Razin's squad is rarely inferior within the regular time. We believe that this time she is able to bring the matter at least to overtime.
The forecast is that Metallurg will not lose in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Metallurg in most cases remains with the minimum number of goals conceded, especially when playing away. On the road, the "foxes" usually miss no more than twice. Chelyabinsk residents, in turn, have recently, as a rule, been distinguished by mediocre performance, and did not open the opponents' defense three times. Based on this, it makes sense to put the bears on an individual total.
We bet on the individual total of the Tractor less than 2.5 washers for 2.00
Bet on the total total
Metallurg will certainly try to play in a closed style in this confrontation and will act defensively, especially considering that he missed a lot in the last two matches. By the way, the three previous matches out of five involving Chelyabinsk players also turned out to be "grassroots" and ended with less than six goals scored. It's likely that we won't see many heads this time either.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.80
