LiontipsMetallurg Magnitogorsk - Neftekhimik: betting tip (cf 1.80) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Metallurg is still very confidently leading in the East and in the overall KHL table. The team led by Andrey Razin has 57 points in its piggy bank after 36 matches and feels as comfortable as possible. The Foxes show an excellent level of hockey throughout the regular season. They have lost only three matches since the beginning of November and are in great shape right now. Yegor Yakovlev's squad played away matches against Avtomobilist (6:5) and Neftekhimik (1:2, OT) before the break, and after the break they took two fairly easy points in Sochi (6:1) and Chelyabinsk (7:4).
In the game against Traktor, the Steelworkers conceded first, but even before the break, Derek Barak restored equality on the scoreboard. Egor Yakovlev put his team ahead at the start of the second 20 minutes, but the opponent quickly recovered. Sergey Tolchinsky, Dmitry Silantyev and Vasily Orekhov provided their team with a comfortable advantage before the final third meeting. In the third period, the teams exchanged goals, Dmtri Silantyev and Roman Kanzerov scored for the guests.
Vladimir Tkachev (9+38) and Roman Kantserov (23+17) lead the league's top scorers at the moment.

Current form
Neftekhimik never ceases to amaze with the strong results that Igor Grishin's team has demonstrated throughout the season. Nizhnekamsk occupy the fifth place in the East, despite the negative difference in goals scored and conceded. The Wolves have scored 37 points in 37 games, and they currently lead the chasing group of conference leaders. Recently, the guests have been playing serially. After a good winning streak at home, Evgeny Mityakin's squad lost on their ice to Ak Bars (1:3), Torpedo (2:5) and Avangard (0:3).
In the game against Omsk, the club from the Republic of Tatarstan did not go well from the first seconds. They conceded three goals in the first period and couldn't demonstrate anything offensively. The hosts of that time even threw the opponent over, but this was not enough for at least one accurate shot at Nikita Serebryakov's goal.
Andrey Belozerov remains the club's top scorer. The striker scored 30 goals (17+13) in this regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the guest leaders will play in the upcoming meeting.

1.20Tip and bets
Metallurg has lost to Petrochemicals twice in a row, but this series must end sometime. Andrey Razin's team is on the first line in the conference and in the league as a whole for a reason. The Foxes are in great shape right now and they're doing great up front. The petrochemist can't find himself after the break, so the guests hardly have a chance to score points in Magnitogorsk.
Prediction - Metallurg wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
In only two games after the break, Andrey Razin's team scored 13 goals. Neftekhimik plays well defensively, but it will be difficult for the guests to contain the motivated attack of the foxes. There is no doubt that the head coach of the hosts will ask his players to throw as many pucks as possible into the goal of the offender. Let's place a bet on the total more than the first one.
We bet on the individual total of the Metallurgist more than 3.5 washers for 1.80
