LiontipsBarys - Siberia: betting tip and bets for the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Barys finishes the regular season as the main outsider of the league. The team from Kazakhstan earned only 31 points in 61 matches and did not show a strong hockey level throughout the championship. The Leopards recently broke a series of defeats that began at the end of January. Galym Mambetaliev's team lost away to Metallurg (1:4) at the end of February, but then won in Toltti (3:2, B). Before returning home, Roman Starchenko's squad was defeated by a Tractor (0:8).
Astana have been playing very poorly offensively throughout the season and have scored only 1.39 goals per game. Not a single hockey player from the home team is even among the top 200 scorers in the league. Anton Burdasov remains a bright spot in the cats' attack. The forward scored 17 points (12+5) and scored more often than others against opponents.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikita Boyarkin, Maxim Mukhametov and Kirill Savitsky will not play in the next meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Barys scores an average of 3.26 goals per match.
- Kazakhstanis receive an average of 5.46 penalty minutes per match.
Current form
Siberia is on the eighth line in the conference and is close to reaching the playoffs. The team led by Vadim Epanchintsev was recently in seventh position, but allowed the Admiral to bypass him. The Snowflakes are playing rather poorly at this stage of the season and have lost six previous games and seven. The Snowmen beat Vityaz in the last home series (4:3, B), but failed in the match against Ak Bars (3:6).
Sergei Shirokov's squad has not been playing well in attack since the second half of February. In the last seven games, the Siberians have only scored more than two goals in a duel twice. Trevor Murphy remains the most productive defender in the league and the main star in the visitors' offense. The Canadian has scored 56 points (13+43) in the goal+pass system this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fedor Gordeev will not come with the team to Astana.
Interesting betting trends
- Siberia concedes an average of 2.93 goals per match.
- On average, Siberians make 26 shots on target.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks

The Siberians scored in the third period in the last three games.
1.35Tip and bets
Siberia must win in Astana in order to secure a place in the top eight and get close to the Admiral. The visitors haven't been doing well offensively lately, but they've improved in terms of implementing the points in the home series of games and should continue this in Kazakhstan. Barys has not claimed anything for a long time and will just finish the season. It is unlikely that the cats will be able to grab points in a duel against such a motivated opponent. We offer a bet on the success of snowflakes.
Betting Tip - victory of Siberia in 1.57
Betting on an individual total
The hosts are scoring only 1.39 goals per game this season and very rarely delight fans with a strong offensive game. Galym Mambetaliev's wards rarely control the projectile and spend most of their time in their zone. We do not think that the team from Astana will be able to score more than one goal against the snowmen.
We bet on the individual total of the Barys less than two goals with a coefficient of 1.58
Bet on the total total
Both teams are quite weak in attack at this stage of the season. Barys plays very poorly offensively throughout the regular season, but now the Siberians have similar problems. The meeting is very important for the guests, so they will try to play as reliably as possible. We don't expect more than five accurate shots for two from our opponents.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.70
