LiontipsBarys - Kunlun. Forecast and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Barys is currently the main outsider of the Eastern Conference and has 11 points. The team has been showing terrible results for most of the season, but has recently come to its senses. This happened thanks to significant changes in the roster. Firstly, the head coach was replaced, the club returned Galym Mambetaliyev to this post. Secondly, all the legionnaires who did not live up to the management expectations were kicked out of the roster. Thanks to such changes, oddly enough, the Astana team began to show results. Thus, on the road, they first dealt with Minsk Dynamo (2:1), and then secured their success in the confrontation with Sibir, beating them with a score of 3:1.
At least the Bars have started to score more than one goal, while previously they had huge problems with creating and converting chances. They also played well in defense in the last two matches and managed with no more than one goal conceded. They have a long home series ahead of them, during which they can easily earn at least half of their potential points, since their opponents in the first matches will not be of the highest level. The club needs to improve its power play in the near future, because it remains the worst in the league in this indicator and currently has only 4.4% of the power play.
Disqualifications and injuries
Allison, Mukhametov, Savitsky and Starchenko will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, Barys receives 6.37 minutes of penalty time per match
The Barça are a fairly disciplined club and rarely break the rules
- Astana has 6:25 in goals scored and conceded in the second period
Barys plays poorly in the second twenty minutes and has the worst goal ratio in it
Current form
Kunlun remains the main outsider of the Western Conference and earned a total of 14 points. Even if at the start of the championship the team demonstrated a more or less meaningful game and from time to time distinguished itself with good results, then recently its affairs have become much worse. In the previous nine matches held, it won only one victory, and now it is on a series of five defeats. On home ice, Red Star previously lost to Sochi (0:4), Metallurg (2:4), and also suffered an unthinkable defeat from SKA with a score of 0:8. Oddly enough, in the last confrontation with CSKA, Mikhail Kravets squad imposed a tight fight and brought the matter to overtime, but still conceded in extra time.
By the way, today the club remains the most conceding in the league and, most likely, will not be able to improve this statistic in the future. As a rule, at least three or four pucks end up in its net, even when it plays against "average" and outsiders. In addition, Kunlun occupies one of the last positions in the indicator of playing in the minority, having at the moment only 76.4% of neutralization. The most successful in the performance of Red Star can be called the third segment, in which it noticeably improves, but the first 40 minutes of the match are often not the best.
Disqualifications and injuries
Merkley will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Kunlun allows 33 shots on goal
Kunlun plays mediocre defense and is often forced to play second fiddle
- According to statistics, Red Star has a 13% power play rate
According to this indicator, the team is one of the worst in the championship.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In the last five games involving visitors, the first period was productive
2.05Bet 3rd period: home team win
In the last two matches, the hosts achieved success in the third period
2.60Tip and bets
We think that Barys has a better chance of earning two points in the upcoming confrontation. The Astana team has already managed to recover from a long series of defeats and has shown itself from its best side in recent matches. After the changes, their game has become more attractive, and thanks to this, victories have begun to appear. Kunlun, on the other hand, has failed most of the previous matches and is currently in a bad mood. It is quite possible that the Barsy will still be stronger at home.
Forecast - victory of “Barys” with a handicap (0) for 1.75
Bet on individual total
Barys has improved its efficiency compared to what it was at the beginning of the season. Kunlun is currently the most conceding club in the league and on average allows opponents to score at least three or four times. The hosts have forwards in their lineup who are capable of taking the game upon themselves. No matter how Kravets' team plays in the upcoming match, it is unlikely that he will work reliably in defense.
We bet on Barys' individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.82
Total Bet
Many previous meetings between the clubs have ended with no more than five goals scored. The teams will probably be extremely careful in defense and try to make as few mistakes as possible. Previous meetings involving the hosts have also ended with a minimum number of goals.
We take the total under 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.70
