Neftekhimik - Sochi. Betting Tip (cf 1.87) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Neftekhimik is having a great season and continues to confidently occupy a place in the playoff zone, and at the moment the team is on the fifth line in the Eastern Conference table, with 59 points. Wolves can boast of a good offensive game, on average they score almost three goals per match.

Even before the break in the league, the team began a natural decline. He broke his winning streak of seven matches in a row, having suffered a complete defeat away from Ak Bars (1-6), and then failed to cope with Salavat Yulaev (1-2). Nizhnekamsk residents were able to partially rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans in a duel with Siberia, taking advantage of its weak defensive line and winning a very convincing victory with a score of 5:2. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. However, in the very first match after the rest, the club again failed to give a decent rebuff to the opponent, having been defeated by SKA with a difference of four goals (1:5). Goalkeeper Dolganov failed to cope with a huge number of shots, deflecting only 87% of them.

Current form

Sochi continues to be one of the main outsiders of the league. At the moment, the team is on the last line in the Western Conference table, with only 37 points. Sochi clearly wants to at least get closer to the playoff zone, but there is no chance of that anymore, as the gap from the eighth position is already 23 points. The club's main problem remains its terrible attacking game, with an average of only two goals per match, which is the worst performance in the league.

Before the pause in the league, the Leopards had three defeats in a row, in which they predictably failed to cope with Lokomotiv (0:3) and CSKA (1:3), and also suffered a defeat from the Shanghai Dragons (1:5). The club's fans clearly hoped that a short rest would help Sochi recover, but this did not happen. Dmitry Mikhailov's team played away to Siberia, where they lost by as much as nine goals (1:10). With this, the team repeated its anti-record, having previously suffered such a major defeat only in 2023 from Severstal.

Disqualifications and injuries

To date, Sochi has no problems with the composition.

Interesting betting trends

• Sochi concedes an average of 3.6 goals per match
