Command Analysis
Lada Togliatti
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lada left the playoff zone and is in tenth place in the East. Togliatti has scored 37 points in 40 matches and is not ready to drop out of the fight for a place in the playoffs. At the moment, they have a couple of games in reserve and are only two points behind Siberia, which is in eighth place. Pavel Zubov's charges played away matches with varying success and scored only four points out of ten possible. In the new year, they suffered a defeat in Kazan (1:3), won in Astana (5:0) and were routed in Chelyabinsk (0:5). The meeting with Traktor did not go according to the script of the Filins, who missed four goals in the first two periods and were unable to score themselves.
The club from the Samara Region plays inconsistently in attack and in three out of five matches did not score more than twice in 60 minutes. Dmitry Kugryshev remains the guests' top scorer, but he is not even among the league's top 100 most productive players. The Lada forward has scored 19 goals (6+13) and so far looks better than the other forwards.
After the exchange of Vladislav Pod'yapol'skiy to Dynamo, the hosts' main goalie became Alexander Trushkov. He played 14 matches for the Togliatti team and reflected a modest 91.26% of shots, making one shutout in the match against Barys. Against the backdrop of the goalie's not very strong performance, Maxim Tretyak, who recently signed a contract with the team, may get his chance.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vladislav Chervonenko and Nikita Popugaev will not be able to help their team in the game against Barys.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lada takes 27 shots on goal per game
The hosts don't shoot much, trying to concede as few goals as possible, so their attacking performance is quite modest.
- Togliatti earns 7.24 penalty minutes per match on average
The Owls are often sent off, but they neutralize 82.1% of their opponents’ attempts to convert the extra man.
Barys Nur-Sultan
KazakhstanCurrent form
Barys has long held the penultimate place in the conference, but now the cats are very close to dropping to the bottom line. Astana has scored only 24 points in 40 starts and remains the lowest scoring team in the league. Before the break for the Channel One Cup, the visitors could not win for a long time, and after the break they beat Moscow Dynamo on the road (2:0). The Snow Leopards' enthusiasm did not last long and now they have a series of eight defeats in a row. At the end of last year, Roman Starchenko's team lost in Nizhny Novgorod (1:3) and Ufa (0:6), and in January they could not cope with Lada (0:5) and Avtomobilist in the capital of Kazakhstan (2:3, B). The then hosts twice came back during the meeting with the machinists, but still did not take the maximum points.
The problem in terms of implementation has haunted Barys throughout the season. In the last five games, he scored only three goals and left the court three times without scoring. Anton Burdasov remains the leader of the Cats' offense, but he scored only 17 points (12+5) in the goal+pass system. Other forwards are performing much worse than the Russian.
Nikita Boyarkin can be safely called the best hockey player in the Barsy team at the moment. The team's goalkeeper often saves his teammates and allows only 2.17 goals on average. The Kazakhstani reflected 93.15% of shots during the regular season and kept his goal intact three times.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mukhametov, Muratov and Starchenko will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Barys averages 5.84 penalty minutes per game
Barca usually don't get sent off more than three times per game
- According to statistics, Astana players make 25 shots on target per match
As a rule, the team shows low shooting activity, since it is forced to act as a second number
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In the last two games between the teams, the first period was productive.
2.25Bet 3rd period: Lada will score
Togliatti scored in the third period in two out of three matches
1.50Tip and bets
Just recently, Lada crushed the Bars in Astana, leaving no chance for the opponent. The Togliatti team continues to fight for a place in the playoffs and should not lose points in games against outsiders. Barys looked terrible in December and continues to lose in January, so it is unlikely that the guests have a real chance of getting points. We believe in Pavel Zubov's charges and believe that they will succeed within the regular time. We suggest betting on the victory of the hosts.
Our prediction is Lada's victory at 1.85
Bet on individual total
Lada easily passed the defense of Barys in Astana and threw five pucks into the gate of the cats. Now the meeting will be held in Tolyatti, where, as a rule, Mikhail Fisenko's team scores even more often. The Filins cannot sit back in defense and they will go forward to earn important points. We believe in at least three accurate throws from the Samara team.
Betting Tip - Lada's individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.85
Bet on total
Matches between teams are not always very productive, but often teams score at least five times between them. In the recent game, only the eagle owls distinguished themselves, but we believe that this time Barys will help make the game interesting. Let's play a bet on the total more goals.
Betting Tip - total over 4.5 goals for 2.00
