LiontipsAk Bars vs. Barys: KHL match betting tip
On January 11, we are expecting a meeting between Ak Bars and Barys as part of the KHL championship. At first glance, Astana residents have no chance of a favorable outcome for themselves in this confrontation and should lose to a skilled opponent within regular time. Moreover, the series of defeats of the guests still continues. However, last time they were able to impose a fight on Kazan and lost only in a shootout. Is it worth betting on the success of the home team? You will find out from the betting tip
Match announcement
Ak Bars Kazan
Russian FederationCurrent form
Ak Bars is in third place in the Eastern Conference and has 54 points. The team is literally four points behind second place, so if everything goes well, it can overtake Salavat in the near future. However, it has been seriously lacking stability lately, and has alternated successful matches with defeats, all the while playing on its home court.
Kazan lost to Severstal (2:3), had a hard time dealing with Lada (3:1), and after an unsuccessful match against Avangard (1:3) pulled themselves together and literally crushed Ufa in the green derby with a score of 5:1. In that confrontation with Salavat, Anvar Gatiyatullin's team made a result already by the start of the third twenty minutes and by that time had already realized three attempts of the majority. Goalkeeper Amir Miftakhov also showed his best side, parrying a total of 23 shots.
By the way, the third period remains the most favorable for the Snow Leopards, in which they have a 48:34 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. As a rule, they significantly improve in the last period and are extremely active in the opponent's zone. Also, do not forget that the club demonstrates a classy game in the minority and currently has 85.4% neutralization of the opponent's majority, occupying third place in the league in this indicator.

- Ak Bars statistically makes 32 shots on target

Barys Nur-Sultan
KazakhstanCurrent form
Barys has not been a contender for anything this season for a long time. The team has been showing poor results from the very beginning and occupies one of the last positions in the East. It is temporarily ahead of its main competitor, Amur, by one point, but this will not last long if it continues to demonstrate such a game and replace one defeat with another. In general, recently the Astana team has completely stopped making fans happy and is losing match after match within 60 minutes.
After returning from the December break, they sensationally beat Dynamo away, after which they suffered seven defeats in a row and are still on a losing streak. Last year, the Barsy lost at home to Sibir (0:2), away to Torpedo (1:3) and Salavat Yulaev (0:6), and just a few days ago they returned to their arena, where they were soundly defeated by Lada - 0:5. The matches against Avtomobilist (2:3 B) and the same Togliatti team, to whom they again lost with a score of 0:1, also went poorly.
In most cases, Galym Mambetaliyev's team experiences incredible problems with scoring and often remains without goals at all. On average, both at home and away, the club does not score more than one or two goals, so each goal scored by him is a real event. Plus, no progress is observed from match to match in this regard.
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 under 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches involving visitors, the first period was unproductive
1.60Bet 3rd period: Kazan win
In three out of five meetings against Astana, Kazan celebrated success in the third period
1.82Tip and bets
Barys is in a very difficult situation, from which it will take a long time to find a way out. Kazan is obliged to earn two points in matches with such opponents and do it within the regular time. At the moment, the hosts are not in their best form, but the day before they defeated their main rival in the person of Salavat, and this victory should have given them confidence in their strength. Plus, Ak Bars, as a rule, ended previous meetings with Barys in their favor with a difference of several goals, so we suggest betting on its success with a handicap.
Betting Tip - Ak Bars win with Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals for 1.77
Bet on individual total
Barys continues to demonstrate poor performance and in many matches distinguishes itself by less than two goals scored. Often the guests are left without scoring any goals. Even in the last confrontation with Ufa, the Kazan team got away with just one missed goal. In addition, in the last five matches against Astana, Anvar Gatiyatullin's team also missed quite a few. It is quite possible that in the upcoming match the guests will not be able to score twice.
We bet on Barys' individual total under 1.5 goals for 1.70
