Avangard - Ak Bars. KHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Avangard showed excellent results last season and was able to easily qualify for the playoffs, where in the second round they met with the future Gagarin Cup winner in the person of Lokomotiv and were disappointingly defeated with a final score of 3:4. The club's preseason was very successful. Omsk seemed to have wasted no time, they managed to score four victories in five matches. The Hawks failed only against Severstal, losing in a shootout. It should be noted that Avangard significantly updated the squad during the off-season. The changes in attack are especially noticeable. Instead of Reed Boucher and Vladimir Tkachev, Dmitry Rashevsky and Alexander Volkov are now playing.

Current form

Ak Bars continues to be one of the strongest clubs in the league, but last season the team could not get past the second round of the playoffs, where it lost to Dynamo Moscow. Despite this, Kazan remained virtually unchanged in the composition. This is largely due to the club's successful pre-season, having suffered only two defeats in seven matches. But the start of the regular season was unsuccessful. In the very first match, the Leopards were unable to cope with Metallurg, losing in a shootout (3:4). The defensive line did not show itself in the best way, allowing the foxes to create a huge number of dangerous moments at their own goal.
