Command Analysis

Sibir Novosibirsk

Current form
Siberia gained a foothold in the playoff zone thanks to a long winning streak. Plus, the team showed great results throughout the month and went undefeated in regular time, thanks to which it reached the eighth position of the Eastern Conference, where it remains to this day. However, throughout the season, she was plagued by a certain instability, so from time to time she was overtaken by a series of failures. By the way, Novosibirsk residents are currently on such a course and are heading for a series of five defeats.
The snowmen had previously lost to the Motorist on their ice (0:5), and already on the road they could not cope with Spartak (2:6) and lost to Lokomotiv in the fight (1:2 OT). In the final confrontation with Admiral on the home court, they were considered favorites, but they still lost to Vladivostok with a score of 2:5 and showed a completely mediocre defensive game. In that match, the club completely failed the second leg of the game, during which it was left with three unanswered goals and then could not fully return to the game.
In general, Siberia faces serious problems in meetings with the leaders and often cannot score more than one or two goals, which is why it gives its best in matches against those opponents with whom it initially has approximately equal chances. However, Epanchintsev's squad is not playing so well on their ice this season, since up to this point they have managed to win only nine times in regular time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gordeev will not be able to help his team in the upcoming meeting.

Snowmen spend little time in the final segment and often miss it.

Vityaz

Current form
Vityaz is on the penultimate line of the Western Conference and has 50 points in its asset, therefore, by and large, it can only claim to maintain its current position until the end of the regular season, since it is seven points behind Kunlun, but at the same time ahead of Sochi by six points. Throughout the month, the team shows very weak results and often goes on a series of defeats, featuring rare single victories.
Before that, on the road, the bogatyrs lost to Kunlun (4:5 B), Dinamo Minsk (2:4), and after a successful match against Salavat Yulaev (3:1), they again lost to Avtomobilist with a score of 1:2. In the final confrontation with Avangard, they were as close to success as possible and brought it to overtime, but they retired in extra time and missed the decisive goal in the 3x4 format. Despite this, credit should be given to goalkeeper Andrey Kareev, who parried a total of 35 shots in that game, and if not by his confident actions, Vityaz could concede with a difference of several goals.
Note that Pavel Desyatkov's squad looks the worst in the third period of the game, in which it has a 42:64 ratio in terms of goals scored and missed. It is also worth mentioning that the team has a mediocre numerical advantage this season and currently has only 16.9% of excess sales.

2.45Tip and bets
In our opinion, Siberia can claim two points in this match. Novosibirsk must pull themselves together after a long series of defeats and play a good match against one of the outsiders of the Western Conference, otherwise they may soon not be in the most comfortable position and let Petrochemicals get too close to them in the table. In addition, as part of the current away series of matches, the bogatyrs remain without a single victory in the asset and last time they lost to the snowmen with a score of 1:4.
Betting Tip - victory of Siberia in 2.05
Betting on an individual total
Siberia, on its ice, is generally quite effective and opens the defense of outsiders at least three times. Vityaz, on the other hand, missed at least three times in three out of five matches, and on foreign grounds, heroes usually allow their opponents to score three goals. By the way, Novosibirsk players play great offensively against their counterpart and it's no coincidence that they scored three goals in four out of five meetings. We think that this time the hosts will show a good implementation of the moments.
We take Siberia's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the total total
The last matches with the participation of Siberia turned out to be spectacular and took place with at least five goals scored. Siberia is playing well in attack right now, but it's missing a lot. Vityaz, in turn, is not against hockey on the opposite courses and will also act on counterattacks in the upcoming meeting. In general, we expect an active game from the teams and expect to see at least five goals scored.
We bet on a total of more than 4.5 goals for 1.62
