Command Analysis

Qazaqstan

Current form
Kazakhstan is preparing for the upcoming World Cup, and so far the preparations are going great. Oleg Bolyakin's team has a winning streak of eight matches in a row, and the total score of all meetings won is 73:3. At the same time, it must be admitted that the Kazakh national team did not have such serious rivals as Russia. The most difficult stage of the preparation was the confrontation with South Korea, which managed to win with a minimum advantage of 2:1, and such opponents as Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Kazakhstanis generally destroyed with scores of 24:0 and 17:0.
The game against Russia is one of Kazakhstan's last dress rehearsals, so all the stars of the national team will appear on the ice, who will certainly try to give battle to a strong Russian squad.
Disqualifications and injuries
Starchenko will not participate in the match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Kazakhstan has won the last eight matches
- For more than 20 consecutive matches, Kazakhstanis have not left the ice at home without an abandoned puck.

Russia

Current form
Russia has not played official matches against world-class rivals for several years, but this does not make the game of the Russian national team boring. Roman Rotenberg, the head coach of the national team, has assembled a powerful squad for the matches against Kazakhstan and Belarus, which will take place from the first to the third of May. Of course, the upcoming opponents are not as formidable as the Canadians or Americans, but it is unlikely that the hockey players will play half-heartedly and not give their best. There are a lot of KHL players in the team, and most of them were invited to the national team from SKA St. Petersburg. Only nine strikers from this team are listed as players of the Russian national team 25.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the declared hockey players are in the ranks and ready to go on the ice.
Interesting betting trends
- Russia has won the last four face-to-face matches with Kazakhstan
- In two of the last three face-to-face winning matches, the Russians did not even concede against the Kazakhstanis.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 goals
In four of the last five matches with the participation of Kazakhstan, this bet went down quietly
2.20Bet Russia will win the third period
The bet was successful in three of the last four face-to-face matches
1.55Tip and bets
Kazakhstan will field the strongest squad for the upcoming match, which includes all the leading KHL players from among local athletes. But still, it is unlikely that the hosts will be able to compete on a par with Russia 25. The Russians also want to prove themselves, even if not against such a formidable opponent as Kazakhstan. We believe that despite the away nature of the game, the visitors will be in control of the situation on the ice and, as in three of the last four face-to-face matches, will be able to win with at least a two-goal advantage.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Russia with a coefficient of 1.62
Bet on the total
Kazakhstan is well aware that it will not be possible to perform successfully at the World Cup if the game is dried up, so it is highly likely that Kazakhstanis will try to play attacking hockey, but this is only to the Russians' advantage, because they constantly play starting from the offensive line. We're betting that there will be a lot of abandoned pucks for two.
The second bet is a total of more than 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.60
Betting on an individual total
If the game is going to be open, as we expect, then the Kazakhstanis should score the puck at least twice. They have done this in seven of the last eight matches, but the Russians will at least make twice as many.
Betting Tip – Russia's individual total is more than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.61
