Command Analysis

Lada Togliatti

Current form
Lada continues its home series, which it started very successfully. In the first match, the team faced Siberia and could not realize their attacking potential until the last minutes of regular time, but due to the excellent play of goalkeeper Trushkov, who blocked 49 shots, they managed not only to cling to one point, but also to win in overtime (1-0). However, Tolyatti residents were unable to consolidate their success. In the very next duel with the Tractor, he had to suffer a crushing defeat, and a dry one (0:6). Unfortunately for the fans, Trushkov turned out to be far from as reliable this time.
Next, the team hosted another clear favorite, Spartak. Huge defensive problems arose again, and the attacking line did not compensate for this disadvantage, which together led to a second defeat in a row (2:4). This time, goalkeeper Volkov failed, who had to be replaced at the beginning of the first period, after the second missed puck. It is worth noting that at the moment the club is on the tenth line in the Western Conference table and has long had no chance of reaching the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lada has huge problems with the composition. There are six players in the infirmary at once: Chernikov, Chervonenko, Groshev, Ivanyuzhenkov and Koltygin.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Lada scores 2.1 goals per match.
- Tolyatti residents completed only 12% of the majority's attempts.

Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk

Current form
The petrochemical company has finally been able to recover from another recession and has not lost for three consecutive matches. The team broke its losing streak by playing at the Admiral, where it won in regular time (3:2). The Wolves put a lot of pressure on the opponent throughout the match, but the puck stubbornly did not fly to the target. However, the winning goal was scored just a second before the final whistle, which avoided additional problems. Returning to the home arena, the team fought against Dynamo Moscow and it seemed that there was practically no chance of success. But this time, the ice masters showed their full attacking potential, which made it possible to unexpectedly beat the clear favorite with a score of 4:3. In particular, it is worth praising striker Kapustin, who scored a double.
Then the Nizhnekamsk team went on the road again, where they met with the current leader of the Western Conference and again achieved success, snatching Victoria in a shootout (2:1). This time, goalkeeper Dolganov scored, deflecting 39 shots out of 40, which was the main reason for the victory. What is especially noteworthy is that the club started steadily earning points very timely, as it still has a slim chance of reaching the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Abrosimov, Dergachev, Kroschinsky and Profaka will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, a petrochemical worker scores 2.26 goals per match.

Now every match of Neftekhimik until the end of the regular season is of great importance, as he absolutely must not lose points if he plans to compete for the playoffs. The team is really serious about winning, as evidenced by successful performances in duels with the strongest clubs in the league. Now, a clear outsider stands in the way of the wolves, which means that the guests must confidently cope with Lada, who is in terrible shape.
Our betting tip is a Petrochemist's victory in 2.02
Bet on the total
It is worth noting that in face-to-face matches, teams are not used to holing up on the defensive and try to show their attacking potential to the fullest. This constantly leads to a large number of abandoned pucks, which means that we choose a higher total as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than five goals in 1.77
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Lada's first period was far from the most successful. The team consistently allows its opponents to gain an advantage already at the end of the starting segment, which can also be used by the Petrochemical industry.
The betting tip is that the Petrochemist will win in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.61
