Sochi - Kunlun: betting tip for the KHL match
Sochi will once again play against Kunlun in the current regular season on March 11. The teams have already played five games against each other, and it was the leopards who celebrated the success three times. The Dragons could have clung to the eighth place in the conference, but weak results during the first half of the season affected. Now the teams will have a duel that means nothing from a tournament point of view. What will it be like?
Command Analysis
HC Sochi
Russian FederationCurrent form
Sochi finishes the regular season on the last line in the conference, having completely failed the next season in the KHL. Sergey Zubov's team scored only 45 points and is even ten points behind Vityaz, who is in tenth place. The Southerners are the worst in many respects and now they have a series of six defeats in a row. Artyom Volkov's squad has been playing on their ice since February 24. In early March, she was able to grab points in a duel against Avangard (2:3, OT), but then lost to Metallurg (0:3) and Vityaz (0:5).
The Hosts remain the conference's worst offensive team, scoring only 2.29 goals on average. In the last five matches, they scored only six accurate shots, and in the last two games they failed to score at all. Artyom Tyulin participates in almost every third goal of Sochi and scored 40 points (10+30) in the goal+pass system this season.

HC Red Star Kunlun
ChinaCurrent form
Kunlun was able to compete for the playoffs and was rapidly approaching Torpedo at the beginning of the calendar year. Nevertheless, the gap was very large and Mikhail Kravets' team did not have too many chances. The Chinese finish the season in ninth place in the conference with 59 points after 64 starts. The dragons will no longer be able to rise higher, but they can still let the Knight pass above them. The guests are not in the best shape right now. They lost four out of five meetings and only once were able to play reliably in defense.
In the last five games, the stars missed 24 times, while the Pekingese have big problems defending themselves throughout the regular season. On average, the red light outside their gates turns on 3.38 times per match this season. Jeremy Smith remains number one in the Kunlun squad with 90.90% of saves. He has made four shutouts in 40 games this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fu Jang will not be able to help his partners in Sochi.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Kunlun throws 28 times per game on average.

1.53Tip and bets
Kunlun played better than the opponent throughout the regular season and showed a good level of play in the second half of the season. The Dragons miss a lot, but they make good use of their moments ahead. Mikhail Kravets's team has lost twice to Sochi this season, but overall they look stronger than their opponents. The Southerners are in terrible shape and were unable to distinguish themselves in the last two games. We think that the Chinese will be stronger on the Bolshoi ice. We offer a bet on winning the second one with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is that Kunlun willwinwith an Asian handicap (0) in 1.62
Betting on an individual total
Kunlun scores only 2.5 goals per match, but now the Chinese have to score more. They have no pressure and they are able to break through the Sochi defense, which concedes 3.41 goals per game on its own court. In the last three out of four matches against the Southerners, Spencer Fu's squad scored at least three times. We are waiting for at least three accurate shots from the guests.
Prediction - Kunlun's individual total is more than three goals in 1.92
Bet on the total
The matches between these rivals in the current season are constantly turning out to be extremely productive. Both teams have weak defenses and very rarely play boring matches. In two meetings this calendar year, the opponents scored 13 times between the two. In our opinion, neither side will sit on the defensive and the game will be bright.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.80
