Sochi - Siberia. KHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Sochi is still in the last position in the conference table, but a team from the south of Russia may rise higher in the very near future. The team led by Dmitry Mikhailov has earned 19 points in 26 matches and is only one point behind the leading Lada, but has two meetings in reserve. The hosts completely failed in October and did not win a single match, but with the start of November they began to perform better. Ilya Samsonov joined the squad, with whom the Leopards scored three points against Spartak (5:2 and 0:1, respectively). Now the goalkeeper is injured, but this did not prevent the Southerners from outplaying the dragons (4:2) and showing themselves worthily in the games against Barys (1:2, OT) and Salavat Yulaev (2:1).

Already in the second minute of the game against Ufa, Sochi pulled ahead, and Timur Hafizov scored his fifth goal in the current regular season. Despite the fact that Salavat Yulaev recovered quickly enough, Pavel Dedunov's squad withstood the pressure of a more distinguished opponent and put the squeeze on him in the third 20 minutes. Max Ellis scored the second goal in three meetings and brought his teammates an important victory.

Daniil Seroukh scored 15 (4+11) points in the goal+pass system and remains the leader of the Sochi attack.

Matvey Guskov, Ilya Samsonov, Ilya Sushko and Noel Hoefenmaier will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.

Current form

Few people could have predicted that after two and a half months since the start of the regular season, Siberia would be in the last position in the East. The Snowflakes are on the 11th line in the conference and have scored only 19 points in 28 games, which is the worst result in the entire league. Yaroslav Liuzenkov's team is even four points behind tenth place and in great need of victories. Since October 14, the fall of Novosibirsk residents has continued, which ended only recently. At home, the snowmen lost to Dynamo Moscow (2:3) and Dragons (0:3), but at the start of the new guest tour they managed to take revenge on the blue and white (4:3, B).

Alexey Yakovlev scored the first goal in the match against Dynamo in the Russian capital, and the striker did it in the minority. The hosts of that time bounced back pretty quickly, but in the second period, Ivan Chekhovich scored twice, which made a big contribution to the success of the team. Five minutes before the end of regular time, Siberia was leading by two goals, but they missed this handicap. Kirill Rasskazov and Vladimir Tkachev confidently realized their shots in the shootout and now the guests can exhale.

Defender Egor Alanov has made 15 assists (3+12) this season and is the leader of Siberia's offense.

Chase Prince, Valentin Pyanov and Sergey Shirokov will not play in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
