Metallurg Magnitogorsk - Sochi: betting tip (cf 1.90) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Metallurg has already decently pulled away from its closest pursuers and continues to lead the Eastern Conference table. The team has an asset of 70 points and has a handicap of ten points ahead of Ak Bars, which is on the second line. At the moment, the Foxes are also in excellent condition and are winning match after match. They had previously won five consecutive victories. So, on the road Magnitogorsk dealt with the Shanghai Dragons (7:3), and already on their ice they beat Lokomotiv (5:4 OT), Avangard (2:1) and literally defeated SKA with a score of 5:1.

In the meeting with the army team, Andrey Razin's squad dominated in all aspects and spent most of the time in the attack zone, making a total of 45 shots, so the abandoned pucks did not take long to wait. In general, Magnitogorsk has been showing fantastic performance this season and is used to pleasing fans with no less than four goals. The main scorer of the squad, Vladimir Tkachev, just recently reached the 50-point mark in the goal+pass system, and Roman Kanzerov is now literally one point behind him.

Current form

Sochi is currently in the penultimate position of the Western Conference, and it will be very difficult for it to improve its position, since it is 11 points behind its nearest competitor. Right now, the main task for the team is probably to maintain its current position, since in the worst case scenario it can allow Lada to overtake itself and end up in last place. Note that leopards simply do not have enough resources to produce stable results.

Not so long ago, Sochi won three consecutive victories on their ice, defeating SKA (8:4), Neftekhimik (2:1) and Dynamo Moscow (2:0), but replaced this successful series with two defeats. So, first they lost to the blue and white in the return match with a score of 0:3, and after that they could not cope with the Tolyattians - 1:4. It is important to emphasize that after the previous meeting Dmitry Mikhailov's squad had the opportunity to take a deep breath, and she got a few days of rest that could benefit her. However, Sochi has been performing poorly on the road all season and had previously scored only three wins in regular time, and also conceded at least four goals.

Disqualifications and injuries

Matvey Guskov and Daniil Seroukh will not help their team in the upcoming meeting.
