Current form
Metallurg is on the fifth line of the Eastern Conference and has earned a total of 76 points. The team continues to show decent results and is gradually improving its position in the table. Magnitogorsk lacked such stability throughout the season, but they spent the last month at a high level. By the way, in the previous five out of six meetings, they also celebrated success and achieved victory in the main time.
Let's remind that before that, on the road, the foxes dealt with Barys (3:1), and after an unsuccessful match against Avangard (1:2), they immediately rehabilitated themselves and proved their superiority over Severstal at home (4:1), and then confidently dealt with Astana with a score of 4:1, again getting off with everything one missed puck. At the same time, in many meetings, Magnitogorsk itself is distinguished by its excellent performance and opens up the opponents' defenses at least three or four times. The foxes also began to use their numerical advantage well, and, for example, even in the last confrontation with the leopards, they scored two goals in the 5x4 format.
We would like to emphasize that, in general, Andrey Razin's squad is showing strong results on the home arena, as they achieved victory within regular time in exactly half of the matches.

Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg

Current form
Avtomobilist is in second place in the Eastern Conference and may well claim leadership in the near future, since it is literally three points away from the Tractor. The team has gained excellent form and has been showing strong results since the beginning of this year, dealing with rival after rival. However, many victories come to her with great difficulty, and in many meetings she succeeds with minimal difference in score.
Nevertheless, in the last five out of six matches, Yekaterinburg won Victoria. They confidently beat Amur in the home arena (5:3), and after a major defeat from Severstal (0:4) they pulled themselves together and had great matches against Vityaz and Ak Bars, in which they celebrated the victory with the same score - 2:1. In the confrontation with Kazan, goalkeeper Evgeny Alikin played great., who parried a total of 23 shots. Also, in that match, the Car reliably played in the minority and did not allow the opponent to realize any of the three attempts.
It is worth mentioning that Nikolay Zavarukhin's players play no worse on a visit than on their own ice, and in 15 cases they achieved victory in regular time. As a rule, the final game segment is the most successful for them, in which they have a 62:43 ratio in scoring and conceding goals. Also, do not forget that on average, Cars miss no more than two washers on the road.

Trends

In four out of five matches with the participation of the hosts, the first period was inconclusive.
1.62Bet 2nd period: the guests will score
In the last three matches, the guests scored goals in the second period.
1.72Tip and bets
In our opinion, in this confrontation, the Motorist is quite capable of claiming two points. Yekaterinburg residents currently look no weaker than their counterpart and continue to show great results. The last meetings between the clubs were held in a tense struggle, and the last time the match between them ended outside the regular time. Even on the road, Yekaterinburg rarely concedes this season, so it makes sense to bet that they will earn at least one point in the upcoming match.
Betting Tip - The motorist will not lose in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
In many cases, a motorist remains with a minimum number of missed pucks and, even on foreign pitches, as a rule, does not miss three times. It is very difficult for Metallurg to score goals in matches against such opponents. By the way, last time Magnitogorsk was left with only one abandoned puck in the asset when it played against a car. If Alikin is at his best again, the hosts are unlikely to score three times.
We take the individual total of the Metallurgist less than 2.5 washers for 1.85
