LiontipsShanghai Dragons - Avangard: betting tip (cf 1.80) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Shanghai Dragons remain in ninth position in the West and continue to fight for a place in the playoffs. The team, under the mentorship of Mitch Love, has scored 47 points in 51 meetings and is currently seven points behind SKA in eighth place. The Chinese did not play well in January and have managed to score only two victories since the 7th. They finished the trip with a victory over Sochi (6:2), and after returning home they exchanged victorias with the Southerners (1:2 and 5:2).
In the second game in two days against Sochi, the hosts did not sit on the defensive and went ahead from the first minute. Wyatt Kalenyuk sent the first puck into the opponent's goal, and less than two minutes later Vladimir Kuznetsov doubled the advantage of the Dragons. They conceded before the break, but Borna Rendulic and the same Vladimir Kuznetsov made the score devastating. The Shanghai team failed to distinguish themselves in the final segment, but this did not prevent them from winning calmly.
Nick Merkley and Borna Randulic scored 39 points each in the regular season. They are the best of the hosts.
Disqualifications and injuries
Patrick Ribar, Jeremy Grolo and Ben Harpur will not play in the next meeting.
Interesting betting trends

Current form
Avangard is currently on the third line in the East, but in the very near future it should bypass Ak Bars and become the second. The team led by Guy Boucher has 73 points in its piggy bank after 50 matches and the guests have three meetings in reserve to overtake Kazan. Omsk residents accelerated in the second half of January and gained optimal shape. The club from Siberia has now won seven games in a row. The Hawks beat Admiral (5:2) and Traktor (1:0) at home, and started on the road with a confident victory over Dynamo in Moscow (4:1).
The match against the blue and white started with a successful start for the guests. Damir Sharipzyanov and then Michael McLeod scored in the first period, and in the second 20 minutes Igor Martynov scored in the minority. Dynamo managed to win back one goal before the second break, and already at the very end of regular time, Michael McLeod scored into an empty net.
Konstantin Okulov scored 55 successful performances (17+38). The Russian remains the leader of the guests in the attack.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alexander Volkov is in the guest infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- The Hawks make 25 power plays per game
- Omsk residents, according to statistics, block 15 shots

1.77Tip and bets
To believe that on the ice of the SKA Arena we will see at least some kind of struggle between these clubs. The Shanghai Dragons have not shown the level of play they showed at the beginning of the season for a long time. Omsk are in excellent shape and should not lose points in a duel against one of the outsiders of the league. We believe in the confident victory of the Siberians.
Prediction - the victory of the Avant-Garde with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
The Vanguard has a powerful attacking line and regularly scores a lot of goals. The Dragons are rather weak in their half of the court and are one of the most skipping teams in the league. We believe that the Siberians will create enough chances to hit the Chinese goal at least three times.
We're betting on the Avangard's individual total of more than 3.5 goals for 1.80
