Siberia - Barys. Forecast and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Sibir has been showing excellent results this season and has been consistently earning points throughout the regular season, which puts the team in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 19 points. The club hallmark is its very productive attack, scoring an average of three goals per game, which is an excellent figure for the KHL. It is worth noting, however, that Novosibirsk has been in a slump lately, as evidenced by their home defeats. The team returned to their home arena after a successful away series, in which they suffered only one defeat out of three games, against Lada in overtime (3:4). At their home arena, the team played against Severstal and again could not hold back the opponent pressure, losing with a score of 2:4. This time, goalie Kostin was not reliable enough, reflecting only 88% of the shots. Then the snowflakes met with Traktor and played one of their best games of the new season, suffering an unfortunate defeat by only one goal (4:5). Even despite the lost points, it is worth noting the magnificent performance of forward Taylor Beck, who immediately scored a hat-trick after a long break due to injury.

Disqualifications and injuries

The number of players in the Sibir infirmary has decreased and now only defender Yegor Martynov remains there.

Interesting trends for betting

• Novosibirsk players score an average of three goals per match

Throughout the regular season, Sibir has been relying on its attacking line and has been consistently scoring a large number of goals.

• The Snowflakes converted 34% of their power play attempts

At the moment, Sibir is the best club in terms of the extra player on the court.

Current form

Barys continues to be the worst club in the league, both in terms of points scored and in terms of play in general. The team has only nine points in 18 games, which is a terrible result. The Kazakhs rarely please their fans with victories and mostly take advantage of either the weak form of their competitors or the fact that they are simply underestimated. In general, the club roster is filled with a large number of talented hockey players, but so far they have not been able to direct them in the right direction and all the responsibility falls on the head coaches, of whom the Bars have already had three this season. The main problem remains the very low efficiency in attack, on average the team scores 1.1 goals per game, which does not allow them to compensate for the failures in defense. It is worth noting, however, that there have been some positive changes, with the arrival of coach Mambetaliyev, Barys began to play decently more often and was able to play on the opposite courses with Lokomotiv, losing with a score of 1:3. A little later, the Kazakhs fought with Minsk Dynamo and this time won (2:1).

Disqualifications and injuries

It is impossible not to note the problems of Barys with the roster. At the moment, five hockey players are in the infirmary, which also affects their results. Alison, Mukhametov, Savitsky, Smith C.J. and Starchenko will definitely not participate in the upcoming match. It is worth paying attention to the fact that all these hockey players are forwards.

Interesting trends for betting

• Barys concedes an average of 3.3 goals per game

In addition to problems with attack, the Kazakhs also cannot establish a defensive game, which their opponents consistently take advantage of.

• The Barça average 26 shots per game

The team attacking line looks very modest and creates few dangerous moments in attack.
