Command Analysis
Current form
Sochi was able to gain a foothold on the tenth place in the conference table and beat Tolyatti Lada before the start of the new year. The team led by Dmitry Mikhailov has scored 28 points in 37 starts and still has a theoretical chance of reaching the playoffs. The Southerners had a good time in the second half of December, but after winning in Astana (5:1), they lost in Nizhny Novgorod (1:4) and Cherepovets (3:4, OT). After returning home, the leopards unexpectedly turned out to be stronger than the SKA (8:4) in a crazy shootout.
The hosts started the match against the Army team with a quickly missed puck, but Sergey Popov and Matvey Guskov quickly put their team ahead, but the Sochi team still lost the first period. Already in the second 20 minutes, Sergey Popov, Rafael Bikmullin and Roman Maksimov provided the necessary score for their partners on the scoreboard, and in the final third of the game Dmitry Vengrzhanovsky, Max Ellis and Nikolai Polyakov set the final numbers on the scoreboard.

1.35Tip and bets
Sochi looked good at the end of the year, but the Southerners can't stand the pressure of their rivals on the long run. Dmitry Kagarlitsky is currently injured by the hosts, without whom it will be even more difficult to score. The petrochemical company has gained excellent shape and intends to improve its position in the table of the West. We believe in the success of the guests and offer a zero head start on the second one.
Betting Tip - Petrochemist wins with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.60
Betting on an individual total
Sochi residents play quite poorly defensively and miss a lot. A petrochemist knows how to create moments and take advantage of them. Nizhnekamsk have been playing well up front lately and should score at least three goals against the home team. We think that Igor Grishin's team is capable of scoring at least three accurate hits.
We take the individual total of Petrochemicals more than 2.5 washers with cf 1.57
