Command Analysis
Metallurg Magnitogorsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Metallurg failed in the first half of the season and did not show the results that the fans expected from him. However, the team gradually gained momentum and performed exceptionally well in the second half of the championship. Magnitogorsk often had long winning streaks, and it was very difficult to beat them.
Plus, Andrey Razin's team was significantly rebuilt closer to the playoffs and began to pay more attention to defense than attack, so many meetings with his participation turned out to be quite grassroots. By the way, the Foxes failed to complete the regular season on the winning streak. So, after heavy victories over Vityaz (3:2 B) and Admiral (5:4 B), Magnitogorsk went to the exit, where they could not cope with the Motorist (2:3).
Overall, Magnitogorsk has played stronger on its own ice this season than on other people's ice, and up to this point has allowed itself to be beaten only eight times during regular time. The most successful performance of the club can be called the third period, in which it has a 65:47 ratio in terms of goals scored and conceded, therefore, in straight-ahead matches it will try to carry out the ending as confidently as possible.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yeremenko and Yurov will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Metallurg wins 48.5% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the foxes perform 10 power moves per match.
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard has improved significantly with the arrival of Guy Boucher as head coach. The team began to look much more harmonious than before, and began to beat opponent after opponent, making do with rare single defeats. The last matches, of course, were not so easy for her, but she still looked more than worthy in them.
It should be noted that after an unsuccessful match against Dynamo Moscow (3:4 OT), Omsk saved themselves from defeat in a meeting with Vityaz (3:2 OT), and in the final confrontation they celebrated Victoria against Kunlun with a score of 5:1. In many matches, Omsk players were distinguished by their excellent performance and scored no less than three goals. This is not surprising, as the club has one of the most powerful offensive lines in the league, even in the absence of Tkachev.
We should also not forget that Avangard enjoys a great numerical advantage and currently has 26.8% of excess sales and occupies the second position in the league in this indicator. This component will undoubtedly play a significant role in the playoffs.

Boikov and Stepanov will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.

1.70The 3rd periodbet: Omsk will score
In four out of five matches, Omsk scored goals in the third period.
1.65Tip and bets
We think that the Vanguard can count on success in the upcoming match. Omsk just a month ago met with an opponent on their ice and proved their superiority with a score of 2:1. The Hawks, in general, over the past month, as a rule, went without defeats in the main time and gave a worthy rebuff to all teams. Magnitogorsk residents usually found it difficult to win matches against high-level opponents.
The betting tip is that Avangard will not lose in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Avangard has performed well in previous meetings. The team has a powerful offensive line and breaks open the defenses of many opponents at least three times. Of course, Metallurg has reformed and started playing more indoor hockey than before, but it is far from certain that he will be able to play solid defense against the hawks.
We're betting on the Avangard's individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 2.20
Bet on the total total
Despite the fact that we expect to see three goals from the guests in this match, we do not expect an open hockey game. Metallurg often has difficulty realizing chances in matches with similar opponents. In addition, the last five matches between the clubs ended unsuccessfully.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.52
