On February 20, a duel between Barys and Severstal will take place. The previous meeting between the clubs ended with a confident victory for Cherepovets, and it took place just a couple of months ago. That is why the guests are considered clear favorites in the upcoming confrontation and, of course, must succeed within the regular time. However, what is the best bet to place on this event? You will learn about this from our forecast
Command Analysis
Barys Nur-Sultan
KazakhstanCurrent form
Barys is located on the last line in the standings and can hardly even claim to improve its position, since it is already four points behind Amur. The team has been showing terrible results for a long period of time and cannot come to its senses. It should be noted that she does not manage to pull herself together and please her fans, so she stays on a five-game losing streak and almost never brings things even to overtime.
Earlier on the road, the "bars" did not cope with the same "Cupid" (0:5), "Admiral" (3:4 OT), and after the break they began a series of home matches. First, they lost to SKA on their ice (2:5), after which they lost to Lada with a score of 2:4. In the final confrontation with Magnitogorsk Metallurg, the club even had a minimal advantage and opened an account in that match, however, it failed the second and third game segments, which is why it lost in regular time - 1:3. At the same time, Astana once again scored only one goal, but they did not act like that. He was active as an opponent, hitting his goal with only 21 shots.
Let's emphasize that Galym Mambetaliev's squad still has problems with the offensive game, and in most cases it remains with the minimum number of goals scored. As a rule, even the home stands cannot please the club with two or three goals, so they usually have to rely on indoor hockey.

Severstal Cherepovets
Russian FederationCurrent form
Severstal is showing great results this season and is consistently staying in the playoff zone. Today, the team is in the sixth position of the Western Conference and has every chance to improve its position and complete its performance in the top three during the regular season. By the way, even now she is literally four points away from second place. However, the Cherepovets team has not been doing well lately, and they have suffered two defeats in a row.
Recall that Andrey Kozyrev's team dealt with Spartak on their ice (8:6) and beat CSKA on the road (4:3), but subsequently lost to Lokomotiv at home (1:5), and also could not cope with SKA (3:5). In the confrontation with the army, the team was severely let down by discipline, as it retired five times, for which it was punished with three missed goals in the 4x5 format. It was also a bad day for goalkeeper Konstantin Shostak, who missed four times in 29 shots.
If we talk about the game of the Steelers on the road, then, in general, they are performing pretty well, since up to this point they have managed to win 12 victories in 26 meetings. Plus, Severstal is often very effective and breaks open the opponents' defenses at least three times. The most powerful in her performance is the second period, in which she has a 61:57 ratio in goals scored and conceded.

1.85Tip and bets
In our opinion, Severstal should get two points without any problems in this confrontation. She surpasses her opponent in class and continues to fight for high positions in the Western Conference table. The Cherepovets team has already met with Astana on their ice this season and then they quite confidently beat their opponent with a score of 5:3. They perform no worse on the road than they do on the home court. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that Kozyrev's team is going on a series of two failures, so they will try their best to interrupt the current sequence.
Forecast - Severstal wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
In this confrontation, we would expect at least four goals from Severstal. She is usually very effective and in many cases scores at least four goals, especially when playing against outsiders. Barys has not been known to play reliably defensively lately and has missed quite a lot. In addition, last time the Cherepovets team opened the defense of the "leopards" five times.
We bet on Severstal's individual total of more than 3.5 goals in 1.98
Bet on the total total
The previous meetings with Severstal were quite spectacular and took place with no less than six goals scored. Barys, in turn, also began to adhere more to an open style of play and conducted the last matches effectively. It is no coincidence that the last meeting between the teams ended with eight goals. We think that even now we will witness at least six goals.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 2.15
