Sochi - Amur: betting tip (cf 1.95) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

The team has three matches left until the end of the season, which ends on March 20 for HC Sochi. The only tournament task that the team can still solve in the remaining time is to leave the last place in the Western Conference, ahead of Tolyatti Lada. Although the competitors are separated by only one point, Sochi residents have been unable to overcome this minimum distance for several rounds in a row, and Tolyatti residents have not been able to get at least a small lead. Sochi's main trump card is two games in reserve, and playing on their own court with an opponent of equal class, which Amur seems to be, gives the southerners a good opportunity to solve this problem anyway.

The sensational victory at home on March 6 over Avangard (3:1) failed to inspire confidence in Dmitry Mikhailov's team, and losses, although after a hard struggle, followed one after another: from Torpedo (3:4), twice from CSKA (1:2) and again (1:2), from Ak Bars (0:2). One of the key problems of Southerners is very low productivity. In the whole season, it averages two goals per game, and in January-March, at the crucial stage of the regular tournament, it is only 1.5 goals per game.

Disqualifications and injuries

Igor Shvyrev, Noel Hefenmaier, Maxim Tretyak, Cameron Lee and Ilya Nikolaev will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.

Current form

The hockey players from the banks of the Amur River completely failed in January and, as a result, proceeded to the basement of the Eastern Conference. But when at the end of February they rolled up their sleeves and scored six wins in eight matches, including over Siberia, Salavat and twice over Neftekhimik, the intrigue around the distribution of vacancies from the East seemed to come to life. However, the tigers, who unexpectedly lost to the Astana leopards on March 10 (0:3), minimized this intrigue with their own efforts, especially since Siberia, which was standing rather shakily on the eighth step, stopped losing points right and left.

The March 13 game with Spartak showed that Khabarovsk residents have character and are not going to give up. In the first period, they clearly demonstrated their serious intentions – the score on shots on goal was 11-1 in their favor. However, the account was not opened in either the first, second, or third periods. The fate of the game was decided in overtime – the victory for Spartak (1-0, OT) was brought by Ivan Morozov's throw. Cupid lost an important point. Khabarovsk head coach Alexander Andrievsky was laconic after the match: As long as we have chances, we will fight. We have nowhere to retreat to, the playoffs have been going on for a long time.

Disqualifications and injuries

Evgeny Svechnikov and Alex Broadhurst will not come with the team to Sochi
