LiontipsShanghai Dragons - Lada: betting tip (cf 1.85) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Shanghai Dragons are in ninth position in their conference and are trying their best to get back in the fight for a playoff spot. Gerard Galland's team has only 39 points in its piggy bank after 40 games and is already six points behind Spartak, which is ahead. The Chinese looked great at the start of the season, but failed at the end of the year and won only two victories since November 19th. The Dragons continue their long home streak, in which, after defeating Spartak (4:3, B), they lost to Neftekhimik (3:4, OT), SKA (2:3) and Metallurg (3:7).
In the match against the foxes, few people believed in Fu Shuai's squad, but it was the captain of the hosts who opened the scoring at the end of the first period, but the dragons could not keep a positive score even before the break. In the second 20 minutes, Dragons were already in the role of catching up, but Fu Shuai regained his balance. The Shanghai team failed defensively and conceded three goals in a row, but Austin Wagner managed to win back one before the end of the second period. Metallurg scored two more times and won without any problems.
Nick Merkley (15+15) and Borna Rendulic (15+15) are at the top of the club's goalscoring list. Both players scored 30 points apiece.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ben Harpur and Jeremy Grolo will miss the match due to injuries.

Current form
Lada closes the Western Conference table and so far can only claim the tenth place in the table. The team led by Pavel Desyatkov has 26 points in its piggy bank after 41 meetings and is already four points behind Sochi, while the Leopards played three fewer games than the guests. The Tolyatti team won only one victory in December and were unable to start the new calendar year with success. They lost on the road to Avangard (3:4, B), Avtomobilist (3:4) and were beaten by Severstal in Cherepovets (2:4).
In the game against the Steelworkers, Dmitry Kugryshev's squad conceded first and lost the first period with a two-goal difference. In the second period, Riley Savchuk scored one goal and gave the guests hope for a positive result. After another goal against the Filins, Tomas Yurcho ran away one-on-one and again reduced his team's gap to one goal, but the Volga team failed to even the numbers on the scoreboard.
Riley Savchuk scored 25 goals (14+11) and is the leader of Lada's offense.

Tolyatti lost in the third period in four out of five games.
2.10Tip and bets
The Shanghai Dragons didn't look too bad at the end of last year and were clinging to points with fairly strong teams. Lada was able to beat only the Chinese throughout December. Gerard Galland's players must be as determined as possible and have no right to lose points in games against outsiders. We think that the hosts will be successful in the main time.
Prediction - Shanghai Dragonswin in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
Lada remains the most skipping team in the West and very rarely demonstrates reliability on its half of the ice. The Shanghai Dragons, on the other hand, are quite good at attacking on their court and regularly score at least three accurate shots per match. We think that this time they will be able to score at least three or four goals.
We're betting on the Shanghai Dragons' individual total of more than three goals in 1.83
