Command Analysis

Sibir Novosibirsk

Current form
Siberia has already practically qualified for the playoffs, and a victory in the upcoming match can guarantee it. At the moment, the team is in the eighth position of the Eastern Conference and is ahead of the nearest pursuer in the face of Neftekhimik by five points. Novosibirsk pulled themselves together very timely and came off a long series of four defeats.
Recall that they interrupted her with two victorias. Even on the road, the snowmen lost to Lada (0:1 OT), and also lost to Vityaz (1:3). After returning to the home court, Vadim Epanchintsev's team played well first against Amur (4:2), and after that proved their superiority over Torpedo with a score of 3:2, while in both cases getting off with only two missed goals. In the last match against Nizhny Novgorod, the goalkeeper, Anton Krasotkin, played at a high level, who managed to parry as many as 40 shots. If not for his actions, the result, of course, could have been completely different.
There are also goals scored in most cases. Siberia enjoys a numerical advantage once or twice in almost every meeting and still has 27.4% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Butuzov and Gordeev will not help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Siberia wins 50.2% of face-offs
- Novosibirsk players make an average of 27 shots on target.

Barys Nur-Sultan

Current form
At the end of the season, Barys began to show more or less good results and, apparently, completely relaxed. The team began to earn points quite often, even if it alternates successful fights with defeats. However, she will not be able to improve her position in the table in any way - she will remain in last place of the championship.
Note that after defeating Siberia (4:0), Astana lost to CSKA (0:3), and then went to the Far East, where they first made an incredible comeback and snatched victory from Admiral (5:4B), but they failed to consolidate their success in the confrontation with Amur - 25. In the meeting with Khabarovsk, the Leopards completely failed the first game segment, during which they conceded three unanswered goals and subsequently, of course, could not return to the game.
However, the positive thing is that Galym Mambetaliev's squad often began to differ in no less than two or three goals scored, although throughout the season it experienced serious problems with creating and implementing chances and usually remained with a maximum of one goal scored.
Disqualifications and injuries
Boyarkin and Shutov will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Barys makes an average of 25 shots on target.
- According to statistics, Astana residents win 45.1% of face-offs.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.75The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the hosts
In three out of five matches, the hosts achieved victory in the second period.
1.85Tip and bets
Siberia will try their best to get Victoria in this confrontation in order to secure a place in the playoffs. The team is showing decent results in the home arena and previously managed to win two consecutive victories in their stands. After returning from the Far East, Barys will definitely not be at ease and will not have time to fully adapt. We think that the snowmen will deal with the opponent with a difference of several goals.
Betting Tip - Siberia wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.70
Bet on the total
Previous meetings with the home team, as a rule, were not very productive and took place with less than six goals. Siberia will prefer to play in a more closed style in this match and will not give the opponent many chances to score. By the way, the previous matches between the clubs were also quite grassroots, so it makes sense to play the total less.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.70
Betting on an individual total
In some previous matches, Barys remained without a single abandoned puck. After the difficult away matches against Admiral and Amur, it will also be very difficult for Astana residents to score even two goals. If Anton Krasotkin plays just as well as in the last match against Torpedo, it's hard to believe that the Leopards will be able to score twice.
We bet on the individual Barys total of less than 1.5 pucks for 1.95
