Avangard - Lada. Forecast and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Avangard continues its home series, which it did not start in the best way. In the first match, the team met with Spartak and after the end of the second period, it took a significant advantage of two goals, but was unable to hold on to it. As a result, the Muscovites made a comeback and snatched victory in regular time with a score of 6:5. Goalkeeper Proskuryakov played poorly, and had to be replaced in the third period, after another goal by the opponent. Continuing to play at home, the Omsk team played a match with the leader of the Eastern Conference, Traktor, and this time lost again due to lapses in defense (3:4). Discipline also let them down: the opponent scored two goals with an advantage of one player.

Next, the "hawks" hosted "Metallurg", and this meeting turned out to be one of the most exciting of the season, as the teams made 92 shots on goal. This time, goalkeeper Khomenko played in the frame, and showed himself from the best side, thanks to which they managed to snatch a victory in overtime (3:2). Indeed, this season, Avangard has not yet managed to improve its defensive game, which is why the club continues to remain outside the playoff zone, occupying the tenth line in the Eastern Conference table.

Disqualifications and injuries

Avangard has problems with its roster. Forward Stanislav Galiev and defender Daniil Stepanov are in the infirmary, and goalkeeper Mikhail Berdin will definitely not play in the upcoming match.

Interesting trends for betting

• On average, Avangard concedes 2.9 goals per match

Omsk defense has been seriously suffering this season, and the goalkeepers rarely put in a great performance.

• The Hawks converted 28% of their power play attempts.

At the moment, Avangard is one of the best clubs in terms of the extra player on the court.

Current form

This season has not started off well for Lada. The team has already played 20 matches and is currently in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings. The team has had a hard time earning points throughout the regular season, and the main reason for their failures is their low attacking performance, scoring an average of only 2.35 goals per match, which is naturally not enough to compete with the leaders of the standings. At the moment, the Togliatti team is also not in the best shape and is showing mixed results, sometimes losing to opponents of their level, sometimes celebrating a victory.

After an unsuccessful end to the away series and a defeat to Admiral (3:5), the team hosted Traktor at home and, as expected, lost again, but in overtime (1:2). The club was ready to celebrate the victory, but conceded an offensive goal just 30 seconds before the final whistle. However, it is worth noting that throughout the entire meeting, the Togliatti team did nothing but fight back in their own zone. Lada was able to achieve the desired result away from Neftekhimik, where they beat their opponents 3:0. Once again, goalkeeper Pod'yapolsky showed an excellent game, reflecting 43 shots, thereby getting a shutout.

Disqualifications and injuries

Lada has no changes in the composition of injured players. Only striker Andrey Altybarmakyan is still in the infirmary.

Interesting trends for betting

• Lada scores an average of 2.35 goals per match

Throughout the season, the team has had problems both creating and converting attacking chances.

• Togliatti residents receive an average of 7.5 penalty minutes per match

The team is distinguished by its very disciplined play and rarely breaks the rules.
