Lada - Siberia: betting tip for the KHL match
Lada will host Siberia in the Samara region on the ice of the local arena on March 8. Togliatti players finish their performances outside the playoff zone, having not had the strongest season. The Snowflakes, on the other hand, are preparing to play head-to-head matches and are currently fighting for seventh place in the conference with Admiral. Vadim Epanchintsev's team really needs a victory, but the hosts will also want to please their fans. Who gets two points? Look for the answer in our betting tip for the confrontation
Command Analysis
Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Tolyatti players have already lost their chances of getting into the playoffs and are just finishing off another not-so-successful season in the KHL. Lada has earned only 48 points in 61 meetings and ranks tenth in the East. The hosts had some good stretches during the regular season, but they are losing a lot in the new year and have won only two since January 14th. At the end of winter, Mikhail Fisenko's squad lost at home to Barys (2:3, B), and then went on a guest tour. It started in early March with a defeat in Magnitogorsk (1:2, B), and a day later the Philippines lost to Dinamo Minsk (2:4). The Samaritans could have snagged points in the capital of Belarus, but they failed in the second half of the meeting.
Lada has been playing very poorly offensively throughout the season. On average, the team from the Samara region scores only 2.18 goals per game, and in the last five matches Tolyatti scored only eight accurate shots. Nikita Mikhailov became the main star of the hosts in attack and scored 31 points (9+22), beating Dmitry Kugryshev. Only one forward of the team is among the hundred most productive hockey players in the league.
After Vladislav Podyapolsky left for Dynamo, Alexander Trushkov became Filinov's number one. He was quite good in some matches, but if we take the statistics for the regular season, the goalkeeper managed only 91.33% of shots and missed 2.78 goals per match. Maxim Tretyak was signed during the season, but he never managed to earn the trust of the coaching staff of the team.
Disqualifications and injuries
Evgeny Groshev, Egor Chernikov, Mikhail Fisenko, Pavel Koltygin and Vladislav Chervonenko will not be able to help their team in the game against Lada.
Interesting betting trends
- Lada makes 27 shots on goal per game
The owls throw quite a bit at the opponents' goal and mostly play from their own goal.
- The hosts earn 7.62 minutes of penalty time on average per match
Pavel Zubov's players are often eliminated, but they play quite well in the minority.
Sibir Novosibirsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Siberians may still be without a playoff berth if they keep losing points. The Novosibirsk team is in eighth place in the East and has 61 points in its piggy bank after 61 meetings. Siberia is able to beat Admiral, who earned four more points, but also played one more match. The team led by Vadim Epanchintsev caught the recession at the most unnecessary moment. The visitors lost seven out of eight games and scored points in only two of them. In the last home series of games, the Snowflakes lost to Admiral (2:5) and Ak Bars (3:6) and barely beat Vityaz (4:3, B). At the start of the guest tour, the snowmen unexpectedly lost to Barys (1:4).
Sergey Shirokov's team began to play a little better in front at the end of February. At the same time, the Siberians have not been able to score more than two goals per game for six consecutive games. Trevor Murphy remains the leader of the visitors' attack and has already scored 56 points (13+43), being the best defensive player in the league in terms of offensive play. He is followed by Taylor Beck with 50 points (15+35).
Denis Kostin has often been on the ice at the start lately. He blocked 93.05% of shots on his possession and ousted Anton Krasotkin, who is not very stable. The son of the famous defender coped with only 89.95% of attacks and concedes 3.21 goals per match. He still hasn't made a single shutout, even though he's already played 27 games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fedor Gordeev cannot help his partners in Tolyatti.
Interesting betting trends
- Siberia wins 49.5% of face-offs
Snowflakes often lose on point and give the puck to their opponents.
- Snowmen are thrown only 26 times per game on average
The guests don't throw much and try to play the puck right.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In three of the last four games with Lada, more than one goal was scored in the first period.
2.15Bet 2nd period: Siberia will score
Lada conceded in the second period in four out of five matches.
1.62Tip and bets
Lada has not been competing for the playoffs for a long time and continues to lose one meeting after another. The hosts have big problems attacking throughout the regular season and score very few goals. An incredibly motivated Siberia is coming to visit Pavel Zubov's team, which may well be left without games. Snowflakes unexpectedly lost in Astana, but it is unlikely that they do not want to win in Tolyatti, because they may well bypass Admiral. We think that the snowmen will be able to pull themselves together and beat the owls in Tolyatti. We offer a bet on the victory of the guests with a zero handicap.
Betting Tip - Siberia wins with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
Lada has scored only 2.18 goals per game this season and is playing very poorly up front. Only one hockey player from the home team is among the top 100 scorers in the league at the moment. Siberia has a good goalkeeper, and in general, Vadim Epanchintsev's players are not so bad at their own half of the court. We believe that they will not miss three times.
We bet on an individual total of Frets less than 2.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.60
Bet on the total total
The meeting between these teams is unlikely to be bright. Siberia will play very carefully, because the price of a mistake is extremely expensive. Lada simply does not have the resources to make the match effective. In the two games in February, the teams scored only five goals between them, and we don't expect any more this Saturday. Let's place a bet on the total less.
We take a total of less than five goals for 1.63
