However, Magnitogorsk are already losing in the series with Avangard with a score of 1:3. Recall that in two out of three matches they had excellent chances of success, but luck was not on their side, which is why the foxes lost twice outside of regular time.

But even then, the team had to show character, because it lost 0:1 during the match.
The third game period was extremely successful for the Foxes, in which they scored three unanswered goals. We should also pay tribute to the goalkeeper, Ilya Nabokov, who parried a total of 22 shots in that match.

Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard also looked great in the second half of the season and played great matches. However, he simply did not have enough time to become the leader of the conference, which is why he faced such a serious opponent in the opening round. Nevertheless, Omsk residents turned out to be perfectly prepared for this confrontation and managed to sort out the game of their counterpart on the shelves.
The Hawks paid due attention to defense in all matches and did not allow Magnitogorsk to feel comfortable in the attacking zone. However, in the final meeting, they themselves did not show a particularly good implementation of the moments, which is why they scored only one abandoned goal. Guy Boucher said at the post-match press conference that Avangard did not try to play according to the score, but continued to show his hockey throughout the meeting.
But we should note that then the opponent played very disciplined and retired only once in the entire 60 minutes, although in the third game he scored one of the goals in the 5x4 format. In general, Omsk residents strongly expect to play in the majority, since this aspect is at a high level this season.

In three out of five matches involving Omsk, the first period turned out to be productive.
2.15Bet 2nd period: Omsk will score

1.64Tip and bets
In our opinion, Omsk will again cause serious problems for Metallurg in the upcoming match, as it was in the three previous meetings out of four. Avangard will draw conclusions after losing the fourth match and try to play at a high level. It is very difficult for foxes to cope with the defense of their counterpart, and they act somewhat weaker in defense. We think that the Hawks will bring it at least to overtime.
Betting Tip - Avangard will not lose in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Avangard will try to play even more disciplined defense and prevent a large number of dangerous moments at their own goal. In three out of four matches, the guests were left with less than three goals conceded, and only in the final meeting they allowed the opponent to score three times, but even then the third puck flew only into the net of an empty goal.
We bet on the individual total of the Metallurgist less than 2.5 washers for 1.75
Bet on the total total
The matches between the teams are held in an intense struggle. The teams play pretty power hockey and pay a lot of attention to defense. that is why many meetings turn out to be grassroots and take place with less than five goals scored. This time, realizing the importance of the match, the clubs will also act very carefully, so we would not expect a large number of goals in this confrontation.
We take a total of less than five goals for 1.68
