LiontipsLada - Sochi. KHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Lada closes the conference table with only six points in its piggy bank after 12 games. Togliatti started the new season with a sensational victory over Avtomobilist, but after that Pavel Desyatkov's team lost nine matches in a row. It was only at the end of the last away series of games that the hosts broke an unsuccessful streak by beating Neftekhimik (4:1) in Nizhnekamsk. The Owls have arrived in the Volga region and have already played against the Admiral. The Avtozavod team led the score for a long time, but lost to the Sailors in overtime (1:2, OT).
Current form
Sochi is trying to keep up with the top eight teams in the West, but at the moment the guests are only in tenth place in the conference. The Southerners have scored nine points in 11 starts and are three points behind Severstal. The team led by Vladimir Krikunov got off to a good start in the regular season, but is gradually slowing down. The Leopards won only two of the previous eight matches, with Sochi outplaying Lada both times (5-4, B and 4-0). Before the start of the away series, the cats lost at home to Admiral (4:5), and before the trip to Tolyatti they lost to Salavat Yulaev (1:3).
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals
In the last four games with Lada, fewer than two goals were scored in the first period.
1.75Tip and bets
Lada improved at the start of October and began to score points more often with the arrival of Ivan Bocharov. At the same time, Tolyatti residents have already lost to Sochi twice recently. Vladimir Krikunov's wards rarely score points, but they will take the fight against the owls as seriously as possible. We think that the Southerners will dominate the ice this time and will be better. We suggest betting on a zero head start on the second one.
Prediction - Sochi will win with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.98
