LiontipsSeverstal - Neftekhimik: betting tip (cf 1.77) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Severstal is currently in third place in the Western Conference and has been showing excellent results throughout the season. Recently, however, the team could not find stability and win more than one or two victories in a row. At the start of the month, the club faced a very unpleasant series of three defeats. So, on the home court, Cherepovets lost to Spartak (1:5), SKA (1:3), and after an unsuccessful guest match against Dinamo Minsk (4:7), they nevertheless pulled themselves together and defeated the Shanghai Dragons with a score of 3:2.
It is worth noting that Andrei Kozyrev's squad often chooses to play on opposite courses, so matches with its participation turn out to be spectacular. Ruslan Abrosimov remains the main scorer in the squad, who managed to earn 43 points in the goal+pass system. It should also be said that Severstal enjoys a decent majority and currently ranks ninth in the league in this indicator, with 20.6% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikolay Chebykin and Danil Veryaev will not be able to help their team in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Severstal conducts an average of six power moves per match.
- According to statistics, Cherepovets make 30 shots on target.
Current form
Neftekhimik is on the sixth line of the Eastern Conference and continues to actively fight for the top five. The team had a great time last month and had a long winning streak, but now it's in mediocre shape. She had failed in four of the previous five meetings, but she had absolutely failed to score points in those matches. On the road before that, the wolves lost to Salavat Yulaev (1:2), and after the victory over Siberia (5:2) we returned home, where we lost to SKA (1:5) and even lost to Sochi with a score of 3:5.
The Wolves now often have defensive problems that plagued them in the first half of the season, so the upcoming matches will definitely be difficult for them. By the way, Nizhnekamsk players start most matches very hard, so in the starting segment they now have a 33:44 ratio in terms of goals scored and conceded. Also, unlike the opponent, Igor Grishin's team does not take advantage of the numerical advantage on the court in the best way and has only 16.7% of sales.

Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.85The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the hosts
In the last five meetings against Nizhnekamsk, Cherepovets reserved the third period for themselves.
2.25Tip and bets
Severstal can count on two points in this confrontation. Cherepovets are an inconvenient opponent for Neftekhimik, and all previous meetings between the clubs ended exclusively in favor of the owners of the site during regular time. Moreover, Nizhnekamsk looked pretty mediocre in previous matches and often lost. We think that it will not be easy for them to compete with the steelworkers in their current form.
Betting Tip - Severstal's victory in 1.77
Bet on the total
Teams from different conferences rarely meet each other in a season, so matches between them, as a rule, are not so effective. Previous meetings between the clubs also took place with five or fewer goals scored. The wolves, moreover, after two failed duels in a row, will probably try to play more reliably in defense, so in this case we expect few goals.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.85
