LiontipsNeftekhimik - Siberia. Betting Tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
The sixth place of Petrochemicals in the Eastern Conference can now be threatened only by Tractor, which is one point behind and has a game in reserve. Having confidently spent January (14 points in 10 matches, with a goal difference of 21-18), the Oilers then stalled somewhat and in seven matches, having issued a series of four defeats, they got only four points with a goal difference of 13-18. For a confident finish to the regular season, the team from Tatarstan needs to strengthen its game both offensively and defensively. The recipe for victory in the game against Siberia was announced by Nizhnekamsk coach Igor Grishin in a pre-match interview.: We've played them in the last two matches, and we've managed to beat them. I think we'll try to find some moves and options again. We need to use the strong qualities that we have and add to the implementation of the moments.
The day before, Neftekhimik hosted Spartak Moscow. In general, the game was equal, but the hosts succeeded in realizing the chances, and at the end of the first period and at the beginning of the third, Bulat Shafigullin's accurate shots brought them victory (2:0). Interestingly, in the previous two home games in February, the Oilers lost to SKA (1:5) and HC Sochi (3:5).
Disqualifications and injuries
Vladislav Barulin is injured and will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Nizhnekamsk players make 29 shots per match.
- Wolves have won 49.6% of face-offs this season.
Current form
Siberia, which is in the last place to reach the playoff stage, is eight points ahead of the nearest pursuer Khabarovsk Amur, which has a game in reserve. The advantage looks pretty comfortable, but losing points in a duel with a neighbor in the table at the finish of the tournament is certainly not part of the Siberians' plans, so in this match we should expect them to play to win. This is supported by the results of the matches played by these teams in the current KHL season. In all three matches of the series, the victory went to the guest team. Neftekhimik won in Novosibirsk in January and February (5:2 and 3:1), and Siberia took the game in Nizhnekamsk outside regular time at the beginning of the season (3:2, OT). Yaroslav Liuzenkov's team started the year exactly, scoring 21 points in 18 games.
Six February matches brought the Siberians 8 points. In the last two games, Siberia lost at home to Amur (1:2, OT) and away to Avangard (1:2, B). The legionnaires decided the outcome of the game with Omsk. Siberia opened the scoring at the end of the second period thanks to Andy Andreoff's successful actions near the opponent's goal, but two minutes before the end of the third period, Avangard took down the goalkeeper and Maxim Lajoie scored the return goal, and then Andy Poturalski scored the decisive shootout in the post-match series. After Nizhnekamsk, Siberia will have a difficult departure on the Ufa – St. Petersburg (to play with Dragons) - Kazan – Omsk route.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mikhail Abramov, Timur Akhiyarov and Valentin Pyanov will not play in Nizhnekamsk.
Interesting betting trends
- Siberia concedes an average of three goals per match
- On average, snowflakes land 26 shots per match.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals

1.50Tip and bets
Neftekhimik has interrupted a series of defeats and intends to improve its position in the conference table. Igor Grishin's team were able to hold off Spartak, but it will be even more difficult with the upcoming opponents. Novosibirsk are in great shape and recently suffered a major defeat from the wolves at home. We think that snowflakes will show their maximum and get at least one point in the Republic of Tatarstan.
Our betting tip is that Siberia will not lose in 1.70
Neftekhimik plays defensively and rarely scores more than two goals per game. Igor Grishin's team has been unable to score more than two goals per match for three consecutive matches. Siberia knows how to hold a shot and the guests definitely did a job on the mistakes after losing on their ice. We believe that the snowmen will not miss more than two or three goals.
Our betting tip is that the Petrochemist's individual total is less than three goals in 1.65
