Barys — Lada: forecast for the KHL match
On February 15, we will have a match between the outsiders of the KHL championship, in which Barys and Lada will take part. The teams are approaching this confrontation in terrible shape and are on a long losing streak, so everyone probably wants to end it right now. However, the last two matches between the clubs ended in favor of Togliatti. That is why bookmakers consider the guests to be clear favorites. Is it worth betting on their success? You will learn the answer from our forecast
Command Analysis
Barys Nur-Sultan
KazakhstanCurrent form
Barys is in last place in the Eastern Conference and, as it became known after the SKA match, lost even theoretical chances of getting into the playoffs. The team's priority now is to catch up with Amur, from which it is literally three points away. It will be very difficult to win back this handicap, especially considering how often the club is on a losing streak. Even now, he's on a string of four failures.
Astana had previously lost to Avangard (1:5) and Amur (0:5) on the road, and also lost to Admiral (3:4 OT), although they were as close to success as possible in that match. However, already in the home match with the St. Petersburg Army, they lost 2-5 and played mediocre defense. Nikita Boyarkin took a heavy load in that game, parrying a combined 41 shots. If not for his actions, the "bars" could have conceded with a real defeat.
At least, Galym Mambetaliev's team looked good in attack in the last two meetings and scored at least two goals. Usually, he has serious problems with this component, and Barys does not score twice on average even on his own ice. In addition, the team does not use its opportunities to score well in the majority and currently has only 10.4% of excess sales, ranking last in the league by this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Asset and Mukhametov will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Barys gets an average of 5.57 minutes of penalty time per match.
The "Leopards" are usually eliminated about three times per game and are distinguished by their cool discipline.
- "Barys" has a ratio of 21:46 in dropped and missed goals.
Astana residents miss the least in the starting game period compared to the rest of the periods.
Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada, unlike its opponent, has not yet said goodbye to its theoretical chances of reaching the playoffs, but in practice, of course, it can no longer qualify for the top eight in the East. At the moment, she occupies the tenth place in the standings and is already 16 points behind the eighth position. Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of motivation that Tolyatti residents cannot come to their senses in any way and continue to show poor results, losing match after match.
Even a short break did not benefit them at all, and they extended their ten-match losing streak. Pavel Zubov's squad lost at home to Avtomobilist (2:4) and Neftekhimik (3:4) before the break, and also lost to Avangard (1:2). After that, she played two away matches against Siberia, in which she failed with the same score (1-4). It is noteworthy that in most cases the club showed poor performance and could not open the opponents' defense more than once.
Throughout the season, Lada has been performing poorly on the road, as up to that point it had managed to score only nine wins within regular time. The most unfortunate thing for her is the starting game segment, in which she has a 31:41 ratio in goals scored and conceded, so the beginning of many matches is not set for the team. Let's remind that in the last two meetings with Novosibirsk, she lost within this twenty-minute period.
Disqualifications and injuries
Chernikov, Chervonenko, Fisenko, Groshev and Koltygin will not be able to play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Lada wins 45.9% of face-offs
According to this indicator, the team remains one of the worst in the league at the moment.
- According to statistics, Lada gets 7.74 minutes of penalty time per match.
A team is usually eliminated at least four times per game.

2.00Tip and bets
Barys is not quite justifiably considered a clear outsider in this confrontation. Of course, the team on "paper" looks weaker than its counterpart, but the Tolyatti team, who have lost motivation and are on a long series of failures, are also not particularly ready for a guest match. The previous meeting between the clubs, which took place just over a month ago, ended with a minimal advantage for the "owls". Usually, in matches with such opponents, the "bars" do not concede with a defeat and always fight back, so there is a high probability that this time they will get at least one point.
Forecast - Barys wins with an Asian handicap (+1) on goals in 1.92
Betting on an individual total
Lada has been experiencing huge performance problems lately, and in many meetings they have been left with less than three goals scored. In the last match with the "bars", the Tolyatti team also had difficulties playing offensively, so then they scored only one goal. Barys adheres to a closed style of play, so we do not think that the guests can score three goals in this confrontation.
We bet on the individual total of "Lada" less than 2.5 pucks for 2.05
Bet on the total total
In this match, we wouldn't expect a lot of goals scored. After a major defeat against SKA, Barys will try to rehabilitate itself in front of the home stands and play as reliably as possible in defense. Lada, in turn, has been playing the majority of its away matches this season with fewer than five goals scored. Based on this, we take the total less.
Forecast - total less than 4.5 goals in 1.90
