LiontipsTraktor - Ak Bars: betting tip (cf 2.02) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Tractor ranks seventh in the East and has moved away from Salavat Yulaev and Neftekhimik, who are ahead. The team led by Evgeny Koreshkov earned only 52 points in 51 meetings and is at risk of falling even lower. Chelyabinsk failed at the end of last year and are not showing the strongest game in the current stretch of the season. They lost four games out of six, while losing in the away series in Magnitogorsk (2:3) and Omsk (0:1), but then won an important victory from the point of view of psychology in Novosibirsk (3:1).
The match against the Siberians started off great for the then guests. Alexander Rykov and Mikhail Grigorenko provided their team with a comfortable advantage at the end of the opening period, and already in the second 20 minutes Maxim Dzhioshvili realized the majority and made the score big. The snowflakes quickly scored one goal, but the snowmen didn't have enough for more.
Joshua Livo remains the leader of the visitors' attacks. The Canadian scored 49 points (22+27) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
To date, the Tractor has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, the tractor performs 18 power moves per match.
- Chelyabinsk residents win 52.1% of face-offs on average.
Current form
Ak Bars still retains the second place in the East, but very soon it should drop to the third position in the conference. Anvar Gatiyatullin's team has scored 73 points in 53 starts and has the same number of points as Avangard. Omsk have as many as three matches in reserve, so it is unlikely that the greens will be able to retain the role of the main pursuer of Metallurg. The Leopards played pretty well during January, but at the end they started to slow down. They lost at home to Siberia (2:3, B) and Salavat Yulaev (3:4, OT), but then defeated Neftekhimik (6:1). At the start of the guest tour, Kazan lost in Novosibirsk (2:3, B).
Ilya Safonov and Alexander Pustozerov provided their team with a comfortable advantage in the first leg of the match against Siberia, and it seemed that Kazan would not miss the victory. In just ten minutes of the second period, Ak Bars lost its lead and was no longer able to hit the opponent's goal in regular time. In the shootout, Timur Bilyalov failed to deflect a single attempt and the guests lost.
Alexander Barabanov (15+26) and Kirill Semenov (13+28) are the leaders in the team's goalscoring list. Both players scored 41 points apiece.
Disqualifications and injuries
Stepan Falkovsky and Mikhail Fisenko will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Ak Bars wins an average of 54.6% of face-offs.
- According to statistics, Vladivostok residents perform 18 power moves per match.

1.43Tip and bets
It's time for Traktor to come to his senses and return to the fight for at least the fifth place in the conference. Evgeny Koreshkov's team looked good in the matches against the leaders of the East and scored a psychologically important victory in Novosibirsk. Ak Bars is clearly not in the best shape right now and the hosts can take two points. Let's play a bet on winning the first one with a zero handicap.
Prediction - Tractor wins with Asian handicap (0) on pucks in 2.02
Betting on an individual total
Ak Bars is extremely reliable in away games, but Chelyabinsk are great at attacking on their home ice. Only Metallurg has managed to score more on the home court this season from the clubs of the East, so it will be very difficult for the defense of the guests. The bears can't sit on the defensive and wait for chances, so we expect them to make at least three accurate shots.
We bet on the individual Tractor total of more than 2.5 washers for 1.90
