LiontipsMetallurg Magnitogorsk - Siberia. Betting Tip (cf 1.81) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Metallurg had a great regular season. From the very start of the season, the team demonstrated very high-quality hockey and was able to rise to the first place in the Eastern Conference table, where it finished the regular season with a six-point lead over its nearest opponent. In particular, of course, it is worth noting the incredible performance of the club, on average he scored 3.7 goals per match, which is the best indicator in the league. Vladimir Tkachev and Roman Kanzerov scored a combined total of 135 points.
It may seem that Magnitogorsk began to decline just before the end of the regular season, as the team suffered two defeats, both with a rout. The Foxes played on the road, where at first they could not cope with the pressure of the Tractor (2:6), and after that they lost to the leader of the Western Conference in the person of Lokomotiv (1:4). Twice Metallurg showed a weak defensive game, allowing opponents to create and realize a huge number of dangerous moments in their zone. However, it should be borne in mind that head coach Razin gave the club leaders a rest before the playoffs, which affected the results.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Silantyev remains in the Metallurgist's infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Metallurg made 35 shots per match.

Current form
The start of the regular season turned out to be as difficult as possible for Siberia. The team earned almost no points and was at the bottom of the table, which, of course, did not suit the club's management, and it decided to dismiss head coach Butsaev. Luzenkov took his place, and things took off almost immediately. Novosibirsk residents fully rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans, and as a result, they got a ticket to the Gagarin Cup without any problems, occupying the eighth place in the east and having a nine-point advantage over their nearest opponent. Nevertheless, the main problems of the club have not gone away. He still cannot consistently show high-quality defensive play, and on average concedes 2.9 goals per match, which is one of the worst indicators in the league.
Let's remind that before the curtain of the regular season, Novosibirsk scored excellent form and ended the regular season with a winning streak of three matches in a row. The Snowflakes played in their home arena, where they defeated SKA (4:1), and also snatched Victoria from CSKA in regular time (3:2) and Barys in a shootout (2:1).

Tip and bets
Bookmakers greatly underestimate Siberia and give a very high coefficient for its victory, which is quite possible to take advantage of. As you can see, in face-to-face meetings, Novosibirsk consistently give a worthy rebuff to Metallurg and practically do not lose with a difference of more than one goal. In addition, the snowflakes are in optimal shape, which was shown at the end of the regular season. We believe that the start of the series will definitely not be an easy ride for the owners of the ice, so we are betting in favor of the guests with a positive handicap.
Our betting tip is that Siberia will win with a handicap of (+1.5) goals in 1.81
Even despite the very high performance of Metallurg, it is not necessary to expect a large number of abandoned goals in the upcoming match. As we know, Razin relies on defense during the playoffs and tries to play as reliably as possible, which the club demonstrated last season. Siberia, given the superiority of the opponent, will also not rush headlong into the attack. So we suggest that you choose the total less as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.73
