Sochi - Avangard: betting tip and bets for the KHL match

Current form

Sochi has failed most of the season. The team had successful stretches from time to time, during which it scored several wins in a row and proved its superiority over rival after rival, but after that it was replaced by a long series of failures. That is why Sochi gained a foothold in the last position of the Western Conference and earned a total of only 44 points, so they cannot even claim to improve their position.

By the way, not so long ago, the leopards also managed to get into excellent condition, and they gave out a cool series of four victories. However, after another resounding away victory over Dynamo (5:3), they lost to Torpedo (3:6), and then returned to the home court, where they lost to Kunlun (2:5) and Lokomotiv (2:4). Thus, in total, the club has conceded 15 goals in the last three matches. This fact is not particularly surprising, as the team has experienced defensive problems throughout the season, which is why it remains one of the most difficult teams in the league.

Sergey Zubov's team always tries to play hockey on opposite courses, but in matches with skilled opponents, his plan simply does not work. It is also worth mentioning that Sochi residents are completely unable to play number one and take the initiative into their own hands, since even they enjoy a mediocre numerical advantage and currently have only 14.9% of excess sales.

Disqualifications and injuries

Sergey Ivanov will not be able to help his team in the upcoming match.

Current form

Avangard is currently on the sixth line of the Eastern Conference and cannot significantly improve its position, although it is trying its best. Since the arrival of Guy Boucher as head coach, the team has started to show great results and is winning match after match. Let's remind that she was successful in eight previous meetings and in most cases won within the regular time. At the same time, apparently, the club does not plan to stop there and is only increasing its momentum.

The Hawks had previously literally defeated Ak Bars (6:2) on their ice, after which they dealt with Magnitogorsk Metallurg (2:1) and Amur (2:1) in a stubborn struggle. The match against Vityaz was also difficult for Omsk, in which they nevertheless celebrated Victory with a score of 4:3 in overtime. After that, they went on a field trip, where they had already defeated Spartak with a score of 5:1 and did not encounter serious resistance from him. Recall that Nikita Serebryakov played well back then, who parried a total of 29 shots.

Also, do not forget that Avangard plays well in unequal formations. The club currently has 25.3% of the majority and is extremely reliable in the minority, having 83.3% of the neutralizing majority of the opponent. Omsk residents feel most comfortable within the framework of the third game segment, in which they have a 59:50 ratio of goals scored and conceded. Damir Sharipzyanov remains the main scorer in the squad, who earned a total of 44 points in the goal+pass system and continues to demonstrate a great game.
