Command Analysis
Jokeritwere defeated in the two starting games of the season, but then pulled themselves together. The team is in good shape and has developed a winning streak of five games. During the current home series, Jokerit beat Lokomotiv (2:0) and defeated Torpedo in the penalty shootout (5:4 B). The Jesters prefer to play effective hockey on a collision course. All lines can create dangerous chances and score, but Jokerit concede a lot compared to other clubs.
Barys cannot find their game, and even if they win, they do so with great difficulty. The team has only four points in the asset. Barys managed to beat CSKA away with a score of 6:3, performing an excellent comeback in the third period. But then they suffered an unexpected defeat from Dynamo Riga (2:3), finding the back of the net only at the end of the third period.

Tip and bets
Barys are an inconvenient opponent for Jokerit. They upset the Jesters more than once, even away. Barys are not in the best shape, but we do not think that the Finns will beat them with a margin of two or more goals. Moreover, only in one out of seven head-to-head games, Jokerit won with such a margin. Barys can maintain the positive handicap.
Our prediction - Barys to win with an Asian handicap (+1.5)
Jokerit usually play open hockey, and they look spectacular at home. The head-to-head games are often high-scoring, and we suggest betting on the total over.
Second wager - total over 4.5 goals
