Severstal - Lada. Betting Tip (cf. 1.60) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Severstal retains the fourth place in the West, but in the very near future Andrey Kozyrev's team may rise to the top three in the conference. The Steelworkers are in great shape and now they have 40 points in their piggy bank after 29 matches. Since the very beginning of October, the hosts have been playing without major setbacks, and in November they lost only two meetings. Black and yellow are on a four-game winning streak. Before returning home, they beat Spartak (4:3) in the Russian capital. In the Vologda region, Adam Lishka's squad has already won against CSKA (4:3, OT), Dinamo Minsk (4:2) and Admiral (3:2, OT).

The game against the Far East turned out to be a difficult one, although already in the seventh minute of the first period, David Dumbadze opened the gates of former Severstal goalkeeper Dmitry Shugaev. Cherepovets slowed down in the second 20 minutes and by the equator of the meeting they were losing with a score of 1:2. Nevertheless, almost immediately Vladimir Grudinin regained his balance, and already in overtime Danil Aimurzin brought his partners the most important victory.

Ruslan Abrosimov remains the best striker in the Seva squad. The Russian scored 25 effective actions (15+10).

Current form

Lada has been out of last place in the West for quite a long time and is now on the tenth line in the conference table. The Owls earned only 21 points and are just two points ahead of the leopards from Sochi, who have two meetings in reserve. The guests are gradually falling behind the army men in front, and even today the gap is already seven points. In November, the team led by Pavel Desyatkov shows a decent level of hockey and regularly clings to a positive result. Tolyatti played well on the road, but ended the series of matches away with a defeat in Magnitogorsk (4:6). At home, the Volga team beat Neftekhimik (2:1), but could not cope with the pressure of Avangard (0:3).

Omsk went on the attack from the first minute and in the second minute of the confrontation Alexander Trushkov had to take the puck out of his goal. Lada tried to score against the hawks, but lost all three segments with a minimum score and eventually went to the locker room in a very bad mood. The club from the Samara region had time to work on the mistakes, because it had been a little less than a week since the last match.

Dmitry Kugryshev is the captain of the team and, as a leader, has the status of the club's top scorer. The forward scored 18 points (4+14) in the goal+pass system in this regular season.

Disqualifications and injuries

Alexey Ozhgikhin will not take part in the match due to injury.

Interesting betting trends

• According to statistics, Lada makes 25 shots per match.
• Togliatti players block 16 shots on their possessions per game
