LiontipsSiberia - Metallurg Magnitogorsk. Betting Tip (cf 1.94) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Yes, Siberia did not have the most successful regular season, but during the season the team gained a good pace and earned a ticket to the playoff zone, and before the Gagarin Cup, Novosibirsk players gained excellent form, which allowed them to beat every opponent in their path. It seemed that the club would be able to adequately start the series with Metallurg, but this did not happen. In the opening match, the team could not withstand the powerful pressure from the opponent, allowing them to create and realize a huge number of attacking chances, which led to a crushing defeat (1:4). Despite the large number of goals conceded, goalkeeper Berdine became the best player, having blocked 34 shots. Without his efforts, everything could have turned into a complete failure.
In the second leg, the snowflakes played much more reliably defensively, but they concentrated too much on defense and again failed to realize themselves in attack. In three periods, the club was able to land only 13 shots on Metallurg's goal. Krasotkin also defended the goal this time, playing many times worse than his teammate, reflecting only 78% of shots, which eventually led to another defeat (1:5).

Current form
Metallurg did not come to the Gagarin Cup in the best shape. In the last two matches of the regular season, the team suffered major defeats from Traktor (2:6) and Lokomotiv (1:4). However, already in the first match of the series with Siberia, Metallurg proved that the fans' fears were in vain. The team defeated the opponent with a score of 4:1, significantly surpassing him in all respects. Striker Kanzerev and defender Yakovlev especially stood out, scoring two points each.
Continuing to play in the home arena, Metallurg confirmed the status of the favorite. In the second leg against Siberia, the team did not leave Novosibirsk any chances, winning with a four-goal difference. The Foxes' playing style was restrained, without unnecessary movements, and the individual skill of the players allowed them to achieve a serious advantage in the series. This time, the first star of the match was defender Press, who scored a double.

Tip and bets
Bookmakers have completely stopped believing in the success of Siberia and give a very high coefficient for its victory, but you still shouldn't use it. Yes, Novosibirsk residents have returned to their home arena, where, with the support of their native stands, they have a better chance of winning, but, as you can see, the club does not stand up to competition. The foxes are seriously outplaying their opponent on all fronts, so we suggest not taking any chances and making a confident bet in favor of the guests.
Our betting tip is that Metallurgist will win in 1.94
Metallurg has shown productive hockey throughout the regular season and continues to delight fans with an active game in the Gagarin Cup. Magnitogorsk players will not underestimate their opponents on the road and will play hard again, so you should expect a lot of abandoned goals. So we suggest that you choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 4.5 goals in 1.69
