Lada is an Avangard. KHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Lada has been ranked tenth in the West for quite some time and can only boast that it is not on the last line in the conference. Pavel Desyatkov's team can hardly qualify for the playoffs this season, but they must win the competition in Sochi and stay at least in their current position. The Owls scored only 21 points in 27 attempts, while they are the most skipped team in their part of the table. The red light outside the gates of the hosts was lit 95 times in the current regular season. In November, the Tolyatti team improved dramatically and won four out of six meetings on the road. They beat Ak Bars (4:3, OT), clung to one point in the game against Dynamo in Moscow (3:4, B) and won in Minsk (1:0) and Ufa (5:3). After the defeat in Magnitogorsk, Dmitry Kugryshev's team lost in Magnitogorsk (4:6), but then returned home and was better than Neftekhimik (2:1).

In the match against the Wolves, the club from the Samara region had a strong run at the end of the second period and scored two goals in less than a minute. It is worth mentioning Ivan Bocharov, who became the best player of the match and blocked 40 shots in his possession.

Lada's captain is its top scorer. Dmitry Kugryshev scored 18 goals (4+18), beating the best sniper in Andrey Chivilev (9+8).

Current form

Avangard has established itself quite firmly in the top three clubs of the East and intends to set off in pursuit of Metallurg. Omsk scored 35 points in 26 matches and are only one point behind the leading Ak Bars, but Kazan had one more meeting with the guests. The Hawks managed to break away from the group of teams that claim a place in the top 3, which the Siberians can already be satisfied with. At this stage of the season, Damir Sharipzyanov's squad is not happy with stability. Winning streaks are followed by several defeats, but now Guy Boucher's players have another white streak. After losing at home to SKA (0:1), they beat Traktor (3:2), and on the road they started with Victoria in Nizhny Novgorod (6:2).

On the ice of Nagorny, Avangard started with two missed goals at the start of the match, and Omsk left in a bad mood for the first break. The coaching staff of the guests managed to find the right words, and already at the start of the third 20 minutes, the black and red took the lead. They put the squeeze on the opponent with two goals in the majority and earned the important two points.

Konstantin Okulov is showing a great game in his second season with the team. The forward scored 28 points (11+17) in the goal+pass system and is on the fifth line in the list of the league's top scorers.

Disqualifications and injuries

Omsk residents will come to Tolyatti in full force.
