LiontipsSochi - Metallurg Magnitogorsk: betting tip (cf 1.75) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Sochi closes the conference table and is gradually losing any chance of reaching the playoffs this season. Pavel Desyatkov's team scored only 23 points in 32 starts and now they can only compete for the tenth place with Lada, which earned the same number of points, but played two more matches than the hosts. Southerners very rarely win, but they had a good stretch before the break. The Leopards lost on the road to Traktor (1-6), but after that they beat Amur (1-0) and Admiral (4-2). Before the break, Pavel Dedunov's squad lost to Avangard (2:5).
The Omsk match started off pretty well for the cats. Matvey Guskov opened the scoring in the first period, and in the second 20 minutes he also realized the majority and led his team ahead for the second time in the match. The Sochi team collapsed in the final part of the match. In just four minutes, they conceded three goals, and then got an empty-net goal.
Daniil Seroukh (6+13) and Artur Tyulin (5+14) scored 19 points each this season and share the role of the club's top scorer.

Rafael Bikmullin will not play in the next match.

Current form
Metallurg has been playing very hard since the beginning of the season, and for a long time the Foxes have been single-handedly leading in the East. Andrey Razin's team currently has 53 points after 34 games, and the closest pursuer, Ak Bars, is five points behind, having played two more matches. The steelworkers have a very strong line of attack, thanks to which the guests practically do not lose. Before the break, they started the away series with a beautiful victory in Yekaterinburg (6:5), but a day later they could not cope with Neftekhimik (2:1, OT) in Nizhnekamsk.
In the Republic of Tatarstan, Yegor Yakovlev's squad missed the puck pretty quickly and for a long time it failed to break through Philip Dolganov's possession. It was only in the middle of the third period that Dmitry Silantyev finally opened the gates of Neftekhimik and the teams went into overtime. In extra time, Magnitogorsk continued the pressure, but missed on its own.
Vladimir Tkachev (9+34) and Roman Kantserov (22+17) are leading the list of KHL scorers today.

Alexander Siryatsky will not be able to help his team in the upcoming meeting.

1.80Tip and bets
Magnitogorsk has shown a very strong level of play throughout the regular season, and often Andrey Razin's team simply does not notice their opponents on the ice. Sochi is having big problems defensively, with the hosts scoring the least in the league. Usually the foxes have no problems with the Southerners, so we are waiting for a confident victory for the steelworkers.
Betting Tip - Metallurgist wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Sochi remains the weakest team in the league in terms of attack. The Southerners score very little, even though they have signed several skilled hockey players. Metallurg has certain defensive problems, but it's hard to believe that the guests will miss more than twice in this confrontation. Let's play a total less than the first team.
We take Sochi's individual total of less than 2.5 goals with a kf of 1.50
