Current form
Neftekhimik managed to break away from competitors and gained a foothold in the fifth position in the conference. Igor Grishin's team has 57 points in its piggy bank after 50 matches and is already only three points behind Avtomobilist, who is fourth. The visitors had a slight slump at the very beginning of the year, but after that the wolves gained excellent form and won seven matches in a row. In the last home series of games, the team from Nizhnekamsk beat Dynamo Moscow (2:1, B), and then turned out to be stronger than Kazakh Barys (3:2).
Luca Profaca made the most of the first period and led his team ahead in the game against Astana. The stands had to wait a very long time for the next goal. Andrey Belozerov scored a shootout at the very beginning of the third segment, but in the middle of the third the wolves missed. Bulat Shafigullin scored an empty-net goal, but the opponent still managed to distinguish himself in the end.
Andrey Belozerov scored 41 points (24+17) in the goal+pass system this season. He remains the leader of the Nizhnekamsk attacks.

1.68Tip and bets
Petrochemist is in great shape and continues to win one meeting after another. Yes, victories are not easy for Igor Grishin's players, but they can be praised for their dedication and dedication on the ice. Ak Bars lost both matches in the current home series and is unlikely to be able to defeat the guests. In the last match between the clubs, Wolves confidently defeated their opponent.
The betting tip is a victory for a Petrochemist with an Asian handicap (+1.5) on pucks in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
Ak Bars is playing rather poorly offensively at this stage of the season and in three games out of five failed to score more than three times in a duel. Igor Grishin's team plays defensively and has a strong pair of goalkeepers. In five games in the current regular season, the Wolves have only once conceded more than three goals from the Leopards. We don't think the hosts will be able to throw too much.
We're betting on Ak Bars' individual total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.60
