Lada - Ak Bars: betting tip (cf 1.60) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

The team finally lost even its theoretical chances of reaching the playoffs. She currently ranks 10th in the Western Conference with 43 points after 62 games. The short-term outbreak of activity in January, which brought three consecutive victories over HC Sochi, Barys and Dynamo Moscow, turned out to be an episode and could not significantly affect the team's tournament fate for the better. In ten February matches, Tolyatti managed to score only three victories – at home over Torpedo (3:1) and CSKA (2:1) and away over Ak Bars (5:4, B) – and get rich by only seven points with a goal difference of 25-35.

By the will of the calendar, the car manufacturers complete the regular season program with a series of seven home matches in a row. In the first of these matches, they hosted the Shanghai Dragons on March 1. The Dragons are Lada's neighbors in the table, but there are 11 points between them in favor of the Chinese team, and this makes the chances of Tolyatti residents rising above tenth place very slim. The result of the match was determined by two goals from the Dragons players in the first period - Will Riley and Riley Sutter scored. Nikita Setdikov scored a goal for Lada three minutes before the end of the third period – 1:2. In the series with the Dragons, Lada managed to win only one match out of four.

Current form

Having played very well in January – 16 points in 11 matches, 37 scored, 17 conceded – and being very comfortably in third place in the Eastern Conference, ten points from the fourth-placed Avtomobilist, the Kazan club has every opportunity to compete for the second place in the East with the slow-moving Avangard, which is only two points away. But it doesn't seem to be trying too hard to realize these possibilities. In the last four matches, the Bars have stalled, losing three games in a row in a series of free throws: away to Torpedo (2:3, B) and Avtomobilist (2:3, B), at home to Lada (4:5, B).

On March 1, Ak Bars competed in Chelyabinsk against Traktor, the finalist of the Gagarin Cup last season. In a tight, difficult match, the game went to a goal, and the guests scored it – in the middle of the third period, Kazan's Alexander Barabanov scored, realizing the majority. There is very little time left until the most interesting part of the season. Therefore, in each match we go out to win, but besides that we solve parallel tasks," Anvar Gatiyatulin, the coxswain of Ak Bars, commented on the current situation.
