Lada - Severstal: betting tip (cf 1.80) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

The team from the Samara region is finishing the season, which can hardly be called a successful one. After 65 matches, Avtozavodets have only 45 points and the tenth place in the Western Conference, which cannot be considered secured, because HC Sochi, which closes the table, has three games left and only one point less. Lada has the most regular–time losses in the entire Kontinental Hockey League - 39 - and the most unreliable defense in the league, conceding 231 goals. Pavel Desyatkov's team was able to show its playing potential only in individual matches. For example, in January-March, Tolyatti scored only eight victories in 25 matches, but five of them over teams from the cup eights – Dynamo Moscow, Torpedo, CSKA, Ak Bars (twice).

The regular season ends for Tolyatti residents with a series of seven matches on their own ice, which began on March 1. Four of these seven matches are already over. After losing to the Shanghai Dragons (1:2), a strong-willed victory (after 0:2 in the first period) over Ak Bars (5:3) followed, and in two paired matches on March 7 and 8 against a motivated Spartak, the hosts could not resist the opponent and lost twice (1:7) and (2:5).

Current form

The team from the Vologda region is the blacksmith of their happiness, stubbornly overcoming the steps of the standings and not recognizing any authority on the ice. During the season, the steelworkers collected an impressive collection of scalps of the strongest teams of the season, beating Metallurg, Dinamo Minsk, Lokomotiv, Avangard, Avtomobilist. The team's style of play is obviously focused not on the forceful manner of fighting (Severstal is noticeably inferior to all other KHL teams in terms of the number of power techniques performed by players), but on combined offensive actions. With 82 points after 64 matches, the Cherepovets team closes the top three in the Western Conference table, lagging behind Dinamo Minsk, which is facing a difficult finish, by just one point.

The Northerners had a good start to 2026, scoring 25 points in 20 matches. After ending February with a 1-2 defeat at home against Torpedo, the team released a two-part thriller on March 2 and 9 from the matches against Lokomotiv, which differed in plot, but could not leave anyone indifferent until the last minutes. Severstal was in no way inferior to the reigning champion, leading in the second game, but both times Yaroslavl's luck smiled outside of regular time – (2:3, B) and (3:4, OT).
