LiontipsSiberia - Metallurg Magnitogorsk: betting tip (cf 1.65) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Siberia occupies the eighth place in the Eastern Conference and has practically guaranteed itself a place in the playoffs. In order for the team to definitely participate in the Gagarin Cup this season, it needs to adequately conduct the remaining matches on the home arena and earn at least three points. It will be very difficult to do this, given what kind of opponents they expect in the near future, but with the support of the home stands, Novosibirsk residents can do it.
Before that, the snowmen were not stable and alternated successful matches with defeats. They lost to Salavat Yulaev (2:3 OT), then defeated the Shanghai Dragons (2:1), and after a disastrous match against Ak Bars (3:6), they dealt with a stubborn struggle with Avangard with a score of 2:1 in a shootout. In many previous games, Yaroslav Luzenkov's team showed mediocre performance and did not differ by more than one or two goals scored, but they often missed very little in return.

Current form
Metallurg has secured entry into the playoffs from the first place in the Eastern Conference. However, the team has been showing rather mediocre results for the past month, which are significantly different from those it has had for most of the season. Magnitogorsk residents get all the victories with great difficulty, and they almost never have easy matches. In addition, since last month, the foxes have been unable to get out on a long winning streak.
Magnitogorsk had previously defeated Dynamo Moscow (3:0), after which they lost the house to Avtomobilist (0:3), and after Victoria defeated Traktor (3:2B) they went to the exit, where they defeated Salavat Yulaev 2-1 in overtime in a stubborn struggle. Andrei Razin's squad has noticeably lost its effectiveness, and we are less likely to see more than one or two abandoned goals in its performance. To be fair, we note that Metallurg has become much less likely to miss than before, but so far the club does not seem to be completely accustomed to this style itself.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dmitry Silantyev will miss the match due to injury
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Metallurg makes 35 shots on target per match.
- According to statistics, Magnitogorsk performs 10 power moves per game.

1.66Tip and bets
We think that Siberia, with the support of its grandstands, will still be able to compete for points. Novosibirsk players come out to every match very motivated and impose a tight fight on all opponents. Things are not going well for Metallurg right now, and it is very difficult for the championship leader to win. Snowmen have previously given a worthy rebuff to Magnitogorsk residents, so now we suggest betting on their odds.
Betting Tip - Siberia wins with an Asian handicap (+1) on goals in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Metallurg has shown poor performance in past matches and usually has not scored more than two goals. Siberia, in turn, always adheres to a closed style of play and tries to miss as little as possible. By the way, in the last two face-to-face meetings, the snowmen did not even allow the opponent to score twice.
We take Metallurg's individual total of less than three goals for 1.72
