Barys - Ak Bars: betting tip for the KHL match
As part of the KHL regular season, a match between Barys and Ak Bars will be held on March 20. Kazan are the clear favorites in this confrontation and, according to bookmakers, they should succeed with a difference of several goals. However, the greens themselves have recently shown poor results and often lost. Will this prevent them from earning two points in the upcoming match? What is the best bet to place on this event?

Command Analysis
Barys Nur-Sultan
KazakhstanCurrent form
Barys remained the main outsider of the Eastern Conference and could not even get close to the penultimate line of the standings, from which he is separated by seven points. The team, however, has recently scored more wins than in most of the season, and has produced perhaps its best stretch. She alternated successful matches with defeats, but in three of the previous four meetings she still remained without points.
So, Astana lost to CSKA on their ice (0:3), after which they went on the road and defeated Admiral (5:4B), but immediately after the triumph they lost to Amur (2:5) and lost to Siberia with a score of 2 in a stubborn struggle.:3. By the way, in the confrontation with the snowmen, the leopards even opened an account, but still failed the opening game segment, in which they conceded three goals in a row.
In general, Galym Mambetaliev's team spends the first twenty minutes very poorly and rarely goes to the locker room without conceding goals. In addition, Barys began to act in a more open style than before, thanks to which he began to score about twice per match, but his rivals are now scoring an order of magnitude more.
Disqualifications and injuries
Boyarkin and Shutov will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Barys gets an average of 5.53 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Astana residents, according to statistics, carry out 11 power techniques per game.
Ak Bars Kazan
Russian FederationCurrent form
Ak Bars dropped to fifth place in the Eastern Conference, although not so long ago it was in the top three. The team suddenly began to experience huge difficulties and often lose points. Now she can no longer even claim the third place in the standings and will try to at least keep the current position under her control, since Avangard already has the same number of points with her.
We would like to emphasize that Kazan was defeated in three of the previous four meetings. On their own ice, they lost to the same Avangard (0:2) and Spartak (3:5), and after a confident victory over the leader of the East in the person of Traktor (6:2), they failed in the confrontation with the outsider and lost to Vityaz with a score of 1:2 in overtime. To be fair, we note that in the last match, the Barca did not look any better than their counterpart and created very few dangerous chances at the other's goal, so they could not fully claim two points.
Strangely enough, Anvar Gatiyatullin's team plays absolutely no worse on foreign grounds than at home, and is usually distinguished by its excellent performance. As a rule, it is possible to open the opponent's defenses at least three times.
Disqualifications and injuries
Babenko and Evseev will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Ak Bars gets an average of 6.82 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Kazan wins 52.8% of face-offs

1.72The 1st periodbet: the victory of the guests
In the last four meetings, Astana lost in the first leg.
1.95Tip and bets
In this meeting of the two leopards, of course, I would like to give preference to the formal favorite. At the moment, the guests are probably eager to get out of an unsuccessful series of matches and secure at least the fifth position in the East, so they have no right to stumble in a match with a clear outsider. Barys had previously spent a lot of energy on the road, so it is far from certain that he will be able to play reliably on the home arena. In addition, in many previous meetings, the hosts lost by a few goals.
Prediction - Ak Bars win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.62
Betting on an individual total
Ak Bars will certainly try to play as hard as possible in defense and prevent a large number of dangerous moments at their own goal, especially after the disastrous match against Vityaz. Barys scores few goals in matches with similar opponents and is usually limited to one abandoned puck. By the way, in the last four out of five matches against Kazan, the hosts also scored less than twice.
We bet on the individual Barys total of less than 1.5 pucks for 1.85
Bet on the total total
Many previous matches between the teams turned out to be grassroots and took place with less than six goals scored. Ak Bars is unlikely to force things in the upcoming confrontation, especially after a series of unsuccessful matches. We also note that three of the previous five meetings with Kazan were less than six goals, so it makes sense to take the total less.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.68
