Command Analysis

Sibir Novosibirsk

Current form
Siberia is on the eighth line of the Eastern Conference and is still able to improve its position in the standings. The team is now literally one point behind the Admiral, but it definitely needs to win the final meeting. Let's emphasize that Novosibirsk residents recently gave out an excellent series of three victorias, but it was interrupted.
The snowmen had previously defeated Cupid (4:2), Torpedo (3:2) at home, and also proved their superiority over Barys with a score of 3:2, after which they failed the meeting against Salavat Yulaev, in which they lost with a score of 1:3 and scored only one abandoned goal. It is noteworthy that in that match with Ufa, they opened the scoring, but they could not bring the matter to a victorious end.
Vadim Epanchintsev's team has similar periods throughout the season, during which he demonstrates mediocre performance and has serious problems with the implementation of moments. However, Novosibirsk already needs to adapt to the playoff style of play and pay more attention to defense than attack.
Disqualifications and injuries
Butuzov, Gordeev and Rasskazov will not be able to participate in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Siberia gets an average of 6.22 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Siberia wins 50.3% of face-offs per game

Ak Bars Kazan

Current form
Ak Bars remains one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference and currently occupies the fifth position. The team can no longer improve its position in the standings, but it is able to get into the playoffs from the current position. We emphasize that before that, she had shown very unstable results and was unable to get on a winning streak.
Kazan lost at home to Spartak (2:4), dealt with the Tractor (6:2), and after losing to Vityaz (1:2 OT), they went on the road, where they literally defeated Barys with a score of 8:0. Timur Bilyalov did not have much work in the confrontation with Astana, but he coped with it with a bang and parried a total of 19 shots, making a cracker for the first time in a long time.
On the road, oddly enough, Anvar Gatiyatulin's wards show higher performance than on their own ice, and on average they differ in no less than three goals scored. It is also worth mentioning that the Leopards are playing well in the minority and now have 84.6% neutralization of the majority of the opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
Babenko and Evseev will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Ak Bars gets an average of 6.81 minutes of penalty time per match.

Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period turned out to be productive.
2.05Bid for the 2nd period: The hosts will score
In the last four matches against Kazan, the hosts scored in the second half.
1.65Tip and bets
We think that Siberia can cause problems for their opponent in the upcoming match and fight for two points. Novosibirsk players have met with Kazan several times this season and left two out of three matches behind them. With the support of the home stands, snowmen can do a lot. Moreover, they have been successful in the last three out of four meetings.
Betting Tip - Siberia will not lose in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
In previous matches, as a rule, Novosibirsk managed with the minimum number of goals conceded and did not allow the opponents to score three times. Ak Bars scored no more than twice in the last two out of four meetings against Siberia. If Anton Krasotkin plays at a high level, the hosts are unlikely to concede three goals.
We're betting on Ak Bars' individual total of less than three goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
Previous matches involving the home team were not particularly spectacular and usually took place with less than six goals scored. It is far from a fact that Novosibirsk residents will dare to hold the upcoming match on opposite courses. Ak Bars, in turn, rarely plays outdoor hockey on the road against the snowmen.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.65
