LiontipsTraktor - Severstal: betting tip and bets for the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
The tractor has come to its senses and very rarely loses since the beginning of the new year. The team from Chelyabinsk retains the first place in the East, having scored 86 points after 62 games. The Uralians have won all but two matches since the beginning of February and intend to advance to the playoffs from first place. In the current home series of games, Benoit Grou's team beat Lada (4:1), but unexpectedly lost to Neftekhimik (1:3). The bears ended the month with a 3-2 victory over Ak Bars, and a day later they didn't give Barys a single chance (8-0).
Bears have a great effect on their half of the ice at this stage of the season. In the last five matches, they have conceded only eight goals, three of them from Neftekhimik. Zach Fucale remains the number one for the hosts. He slowed down a bit during the regular season, but still has a decent 92.57% of saves and has made as many as nine shutouts this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the home team leaders will play against the Steelworkers.

Current form
Severstal could have been fighting for second place in the West, but fell back to sixth place in the conference. Cherepovets scored 75 points in 61 matches and are only four points behind Dynamo from the capital of Belarus, who are in third position. The team led by Andrey Kozyrev played extremely poorly in the second half of the last month of winter and won only two out of six meetings. Before the trip to Chelyabinsk, Adam Lishka's squad lost at home to Torpedo (2:3) and Lokomotiv (0:5), but were able to defeat Vityaz (3:0).
The Steelers have slowed down in attack and scored only six goals in the last four games. The leaders of the visitors' attack in the person of Daniil Aimurzin (29+24) and Kirill Pilipenko (28+24) remain among the top ten forwards in the league. They seriously lost at the end of winter and scored only two points between the two of them in the four previous meetings.

Yaroslav Dyblenko and Artem Shchuchinov will not arrive in Chelyabinsk this Saturday.

Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In the last four out of six matches involving Traktor, the first period was not productive.
1.95Bet period 1: Tractor will score
Traktor scored in the first period in five of the last six games.
1.45Tip and bets
Traktor has gained excellent form and intends to retain the first place in the conference table. Chelyabinsk were very good defensively throughout the beginning of the new year and often scored in large numbers themselves. Severstal slowed down in mid-February, the guests have big problems in terms of creating chances and implementing them, and the leaders of the attack cannot come to their senses. In December, Andrey Kozyrev's team outplayed their opponent on their own ice, but now everything should be different. We believe in the success of the hosts. We offer a bet on the victory of the bears in the main time.
Our betting tip is that the Tractor will win in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Severstal has played very poorly offensively in recent matches and has scored only six goals in the last four matches. The tractor missed quite a bit, and Zachary Fucale got back into great shape. In the game between the rivals in winter, the steelworkers won, scored only twice. We don't think they'll be able to score at least three accurate hits this time.
Betting Tip - Severstal's individual total is less than 2.5 goals per 1.70
Bet on the total
The match between the teams in winter gave the stands only three abandoned goals during regular time. Now it is very important for both teams to score points in each match, so it is unlikely that one of the sides will go ahead from the first seconds and will take risks. We believe that the meeting in Chelyabinsk will be boring and will not be productive.
The betting tip is a total of less than six goals in 1.72
