Lada - Amur: betting tip for the KHL match
On March 20, Tolyatti will host the last match in the Samara region this season. Lada will play against Amur on home ice for the second time in a row. In the first game between the rivals, Khabarovsk turned out to be better and earned two points, which no longer solve anything. The teams are next door in the Eastern Conference table and simply play out the remaining matches. The Owls probably really want to finish the regular season with a victory with the support of their native stands. Will Pavel Zubov's team succeed? Read about this in our betting tip for the meeting

Command Analysis

Lada Togliatti

Current form
Lada played rather poorly throughout the season and was not a favorite in the fight to qualify for the playoffs. The hosts finish the regular season in tenth place in the conference table, scoring 52 points in 66 matches. Tolyatti residents had problems in terms of stability, and they performed extremely poorly in the new year. Since February 19, Pavel Zubov's team has scored only two wins, both in the current home series of games. The Filins can only boast of a crushing victory over Neftekhimik (7:1), after which they lost to the Tigers (2:3).
The team from the Samara region has been playing very poorly offensively since the beginning of autumn. Lada scores only 2.2 goals on average per match, and now the hosts have a large number of hockey players in the infirmary on the offensive line. Nikita Mikhailov was better than the other partners and scored 33 points (10+23) in the goal+pass system. Besides him, Dmitry Kugryshev (13+19) is also among the top 100 scorers in the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
Egor Chernikov, Vladislav Chervonenko, Evgeny Groshev, Pavel Koltygin and Artyom Ivanyuzhenkov are the list of those who will not help the hosts in the next game.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Lada scores 2.20 goals per match.
- Tolyatti residents earn 7.38 penalty minutes per game

Amur Khabarovsk

Current form
Amur has assembled a good squad for the season and certainly expected to play in the playoffs. The business of the club from the Khabarovsk Territory immediately went wrong, and in the fall the guests lost a huge number of points. After Andrey Martemyanov's retirement, the Tigers began to perform a little better, but they failed to rise above 11th place in the East. The Far Easterners scored only 42 points in 66 starts and performed worse than others on defense. In early spring, Alex Galchenyuk's squad was able to earn points in four out of seven games, while they managed to beat Barys (5:2) and Lada (3:2).
Despite the large number of big names in the offensive line, Amur has not managed to establish a game ahead. On average, the Khabarovsk club scores only 2.21 goals per season, while Alex Galchenyuk, who previously played in the NHL for Montreal, Canada, plays as a guest. The forward scored 37 goals (20+17) and stands out among other strikers.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alex Broadhurst, Devin Brossois and Sergey Dubakin will not come with the team to Tolyatti.
Interesting betting trends
- Cupid blocks 15 shots per meeting
- On average, Khabarovsk residents receive 7.03 penalty minutes per match.
Trends
Bet period 2: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last four games with Amur, the second period was productive.
1.75Bet 2nd period: Cupid will score
Lada conceded in the second period in five out of seven games.
1.68Tip and bets
Lada will play the last match on its own ice and it is hardly possible to call the hosts the favorites of the upcoming match. Pavel Zubov's team lost to the Tigers the day before and once again did not show good offensive execution. The Amur team looks stronger by name, while the guests are far from being in the worst shape right now. The Tigers have beaten the Owls twice this season and are capable of doing it again. We think that the team from Khabarovsk will score two more points in Tolyatti. We offer a bet on winning the second one with a zero handicap.
Our betting tip is that Amur will win with an Asian handicap (0) in 2.30
Betting on an individual total
Amur increased in offense in the second half of the season and began to differ more often with the onset of winter. The Tigers had an extremely unfortunate stretch when they couldn't score, and because of this, the visitors have a very weak scoring record. Vladislav Podyapolsky left Lada, so the hosts have not been playing so reliably lately. We believe in at least three accurate shots from the Far East.
Betting Tip - Cupid's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 2.25 minutes
Bet on the total
Both teams are playing without any tournament pressure and must go forward from the first seconds. Lada is obliged to give its best in front of the home stands and will try to finish the season on a positive note. We are waiting for hockey on the opposite courses and believe in at least five accurate hits for two. Let's bet on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 4.5 goals in 1.68
