LiontipsAvangard - Siberia: betting tip (cf 1.82) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Avangard is in second place in the Eastern Conference and feels pretty confident, as they are now four points ahead of Ak Bars. The team went through a difficult period last month, during which they won with great difficulty, but now they seem to be in pretty good shape. Earlier, Omsk residents managed to issue a series of three victorias. They beat Metallurg on their ice (3:2 OT), then dealt with Spartak (4:1) and CSKA (2:0) on the road, but in the final confrontation with Sochi they were unexpectedly defeated with a score of 1:3.
The Hawks showed reliable defensive play in most matches and usually managed no more than two missed goals, but, as a rule, they themselves showed poor performance. It is likely that Guy Boucher's team is already gradually adapting to the playoff format, and therefore prefers defensive actions. It is also worth mentioning that the club is currently one of the best in the league for playing in the minority and has 84.5% neutralization of the majority of the opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment, the team has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends

- Omsk residents, according to statistics, carry out 24 power moves per game.
Current form
Siberia is fighting to get into the playoffs and cannot feel fully comfortable, unlike its opponent, since the gap to the nearest pursuer has already been reduced to three points, but at the same time it continues to hold the eighth place in the standings. Since the end of last month, the club has been unable to get into optimal shape and has started losing quite often. So, in five previous meetings out of six Novosibirsk players failed.
They are frankly failing the current away series of matches. We emphasize that the snowmen could not cope with Neftekhimik (0:1), also lost to Salavat Yulaev (2:3 OT), and after a hard victory over the Shanghai Dragons (2:1) they lost to Ak Bars again with a score of 3:6. In the confrontation with Kazan, Yaroslav Luzenkov's team failed to finish the second half of the game, conceding three goals in a row, after which they could not fully return to the game. Note that Siberia usually has a reliable defensive game and does not allow the opponent to score more than one or two goals.

1.82Tip and bets
We think that Siberia has a good chance of a favorable outcome in this confrontation, even though it hasn't been playing well lately. Avangard had not been stable before either, and matches against Novosibirsk almost always turn out to be difficult for him. Most likely, the upcoming match will be held in an equal struggle and will end with a minimal difference in the score.
Betting Tip - Siberia wins with an Asian handicap (+1.5) on goals in 1.82
Betting on an individual total
Omsk did not have high performance in previous matches and usually managed with less than three goals scored. Avangard rebuilt itself for the playoffs, so the fights with his participation began to be less effective than before, as the hosts began to pay more attention to defense. Based on this, we don't expect them to score more than three goals.
We take the Avangard's individual total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.65
