The Cats dominated the game against the Urals from the first seconds on the ice, and it paid off quickly enough.

1.42Tip and bets
Ak Bars is still in great shape and Kazan are playing very strongly on the home court. Avangard is good, but it will be incredibly difficult for Guy Boucher's team on the road. The Leopards are the best team in the East in terms of playing on their home ice at the moment and look somewhat preferable to the opponent. Let's play a bet on winning the first one with a zero handicap.
Prediction - Ak Bars win with Asian handicap (0) in 1.83
Bet on the total
Avangard is the most reliable team in the conference, but Ak Bars looks a little worse in this indicator. Both teams play great defense and don't let their opponents create a lot of chances at their own goal. In four of the six games between these clubs, no more than five goals were scored in total. We think that this time the meeting will be grassroots.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.80
