Siberia vs Lada: forecast for the KHL match
On February 13, there will be a repeat match between Sibir and Lada. The previous meeting between the clubs ended with a confident victory for the home team with a score of 4:1. That is why the Novosibirsk team is approaching the second match in a good mood and ready to earn the next two points. Tolyatti residents, in turn, are thinking about how to avoid a tenth defeat in a row. What is the best bet in this confrontation? You will learn about this from our forecast

Command Analysis

Sibir Novosibirsk

Current form
Siberia is probably in its best condition over the past couple of months. The team pulled itself together very timely. If not so long ago she was located outside the playoff zone and only dreamed of getting to the eighth position, now she has confidently gained a foothold in the top eight and can feel extremely comfortable, since with a high degree of probability she will not release the current handicap in points.
At the same time, the Snowmen continue to show excellent results and had previously celebrated success in five out of six matches. Recall that they stumbled on the road and lost to Barys (3:4 OT), but then dealt with Admiral (4:3 OT), Amur (5:1), and in the final home match with Lada they celebrated success with a score of 4:1. By the way, in that match against Tolyatti, Vadim Epanchintsev's squad famously took advantage of their numerical advantage and scored as many as three goals in the majority, proving that it is not by chance that they are the best in the league in this indicator.
It is impossible not to mention the actions of the goalkeeper, Denis Kostin, who parried a total of 36 shots and showed a very confident game. It is likely that he will take a place in the goal in the upcoming match. We emphasize that Siberia has also improved its offense, as it often began to score at least three goals and make great chances. As a rule, most of the goals are scored in the second and third game periods.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gordeev will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Siberia gets 6.33 minutes of penalty time per match.
Novosibirsk players are usually eliminated no more than three times per game and demonstrate good discipline.
- On average, Siberia makes 26 shots on target.
Even in the last match with Lada, Novosibirsk threatened the opponent's goal only 23 times.

Lada Togliatti

Current form
Lada has already said goodbye to its chances of reaching the playoffs this season. Earlier, there were rumors online that the club was having problems with financing again, which is why it probably won't be able to participate in the next KHL season. Such news could not but affect the morale of the hockey players. Perhaps this is also the reason why Tolyatti residents cannot come to their senses in any way and continue to show poor results, losing match after match.
At the same time, there is no special progress in their game, because even after a short break associated with the All-Star Match, Pavel Zubov's team was completely unprepared for the confrontation with Novosibirsk. By the way, before that, the club lost at home to Avtomobilist (2:4) and Neftekhimik (3:4), and also lost to Avangard (1:2). It is noteworthy that in many cases, the "owls" remained with the minimum number of goals scored and did not take advantage of their chances in the best way.
Overall, Lada is playing poorly on the road, as it has managed to score only nine wins in regular time up to this point. The most unfortunate thing for her is the starting game segment, in which she has a 31:40 ratio in goals scored and conceded, so the beginning of many matches is not set for the team. Let's remind that even in the last match against Siberia, she missed twice in the first twenty minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Chernikov, Chervonenko, Fisenko, Groshev and Koltygin will not be able to play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Lada wins 46% of face-offs
According to this indicator, the team remains one of the worst in the league at the moment.
- According to statistics, Lada gets 7.77 minutes of penalty time per match.
A team is usually eliminated at least four times per game.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last three matches between the teams, the first period was productive.
2.15The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the hosts
In the last two meetings, Novosibirsk kept the third leg for themselves.
2.25Tip and bets
Sibir is in great shape at the moment and is certainly ready to repeat the result of the last match. Novosibirsk looked better than their opponent in the previous meeting and took great advantage of their chances, while Lada threw a lot at the goal, but could not form more than one goal. Plus, Tolyatti residents are still in a bad mood, because they are going on a long series of defeats. In the last nine matches, they lost within the regular time, so it makes sense to bet on a clean victory for the hosts again.
Forecast - Sibir's victory in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
Sibir has been very effective in most of the past matches and has exposed the defenses of many opponents more than twice. Lada, in turn, has been playing mediocre defensively lately and has often conceded three times. Also, do not forget that the "snowmen" have a great numerical advantage, and even in the previous meeting they scored three goals in the majority. Based on this, we take the individual total of the hosts.
We're betting on Siberia's individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.65
Bet on the total total
Oddly enough, past matches between the teams have often been productive and have been played with more than four goals. Siberia has generally conducted its recent meetings spectacularly and has often operated on opposite courses. The last three out of four matches involving Lada also ended with at least five goals scored. We think that this time we will also witness at least five goals.
We take a total of more than 4.5 goals for 1.72
