Traktor - Ak Bars: betting tip (cf 2.02) and bets on the KHL match

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.

To date, the Tractor has no problems with the composition.

Interesting betting trends

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.
