LiontipsAvangard - Traktor. Forecast and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Avangard has completed a three-game away series that did not start in the best way. In the first match, the team met with the league main outsider, Barys, and was unable to realize its attacking potential at all, losing dry (0:1). Indeed, the Omsk team attack looked very modest, and they managed to make only 24 shots on target. Then the Hawks went to visit a more serious opponent, suffering their second defeat in a row from Metallurg (2:4). Goalkeeper Khomchenko did not show his best, he had to be replaced at the very beginning of the match, after two goals were missed. Zvyagin team won their only away victory away from home against Traktor, where the main hero of the match was forward Bushe, who scored twice and also gave an assist.
Returning to their home arena, Omsk was one step away from securing their success and making up for their not-so-great away series. The team played a match with Spartak and showed a very active game in attack, but due to lapses in defense they had to lose again (5:6). This time, Proskuryakov let them down, allowing three goals in six minutes of the final period. So far this season, Avangard game is not going well at all, it is earning points with great difficulty and is currently in tenth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

It is hard to believe that Avangard will be able to give a worthy rebuff to such a powerful competitor in the upcoming match, since the Omsk team has not yet been able to gain their optimal form and continues to lose points frequently. The Bears have a great desire to take revenge on the Hawks, which means they will go out on the ice very motivated, which will allow them to once again demonstrate their best hockey and win a confident victory. Bookmakers give a very high coefficient for the success of the guests, which is definitely worth taking advantage of. Our prediction is a Traktor victory at 2.27

Bet on the outcome of the first period
As can be seen from the teams' recent performances, Traktor significantly outperforms Avangard in both speed and quality of play. Due to this, the Chelyabinsk team should play first, which will allow them to earn an advantage already in the starting segment.
