LiontipsPetrochemist - Spartak. Betting Tip (cf 1.73) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
The team is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference table, with 59 points after 57 games. You'll have to fight to get into the top 4 - the Motorist is nine points ahead of the fourth–place driver and the Yekaterinburg team has a game in reserve, while a Tractor with one point and one less game is breathing down its back. The Tatarstan team had a great start to 2026, scoring seven wins in nine matches, but then slowed down dramatically, losing six of the next seven matches. If Spartak wins, Nizhnekamsk will be able to break a series of four defeats in a row. In the last of the meetings held, the Petrochemist met with the Locomotive on February 17 in Yaroslavl. The guests looked very dignified, acted actively, outscored the hosts 29-24, but could not break through Daniil Isaev, who played brilliantly, and lost (0:1). For the first time since 2009, a petrochemical plant failed to score a Locomotive.
The main scorer and sniper and the most useful player of Nizhnekamsk is now striker Andrey Belozerov, who is having his best season in the Petrochemical industry. He has scored 25 goals and 20 assists in 56 games, for a total of 45 points. Evgeny Mityakin scored 16 goals, and German Tochilkin scored 13 goals. Goalkeepers Philip Dolganov and Yaroslav Ozolin have played two dry matches each this season. Neftekhimik completes the regular season program with a game against Spartak on March 20 in Moscow.

Vladislav Barulin is injured and will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends

Current form
Spartak and Petrochemicals have a lot in common in the current standings. The Moscow team is in eighth place in the Western Conference with 64 points scored in 56 matches, losing one point to SKA and two points to Dynamo Moscow. The ninth-placed Dragons are 15 points behind and are unlikely to be able to create serious intrigue in the fight for a place in the top eight. This year, Alexey Zhamnov's team has achieved good game performance: 19 points in 16 matches, a goal difference of 45-38, and an average of 33 shots per game. February has been less successful so far – four of the six matches have been lost, including at home to direct competitors in the fight for the playoffs: Dynamo Moscow (2:3) and CSKA Moscow (0:2).
After winning in Moscow (4:3), Spartak players were unable to face Dinamo Minsk (1:6) in a crucial match, although they opened the scoring in the second period with Alexander Belyaev's throw. One of the key factors of the match was the unequal line-up. Spartak remained in the minority five times, and Dynamo used the numerical advantage four times, largely determining the final result. After Nizhnekamsk, the guest series for Spartak will continue on February 22 in Ufa with a match against Salavat Yulaev.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lucas Lockhart and German Rubtsov will not play in Nizhnekamsk.
Interesting betting trends

Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals
In three of the four games with the participation of the hosts, the first period was not productive.
1.85The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the guests
Nizhnekamsk lost in the second period in three out of four matches.
2.40Tip and bets
Neftekhimik is not in the best shape, but Igor Grishin's team looked good in Yaroslavl and got a lot of time to rest and work on mistakes. Spartak suffered a crushing defeat in Minsk and conceded four goals in the minority, constantly violating the rules of the game. We think that the hosts are capable of giving battle to the red-whites and taking at least one point on their ice.
Our betting tip is that the petrochemical company will not lose in 1.73
Spartak has a hard time scoring goals in recent matches, and the team led by Alexei Zhamnov has only managed to score at least four accurate hits once in the last five games. The situation is complicated by the absence of the leader of the guests' attacks, Adam Ruzicki, who is still in Italy. We believe that the Muscovites will not score more than two or three times.
Our betting tip is that Spartak's individual total is less than three goals in 1.70
