LiontipsMetallurg Magnitogorsk - Neftekhimik: betting tip (cf. 1.95) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Metallurg has finally returned to winning ways after two defeats in a row. Magnitogorsk took the Barys and made the score 3-0 in the first ten minutes. Makar Khabarov, Egor Korobkin and Nikita Mikhailis scored. After that, the team calmly dried up the game and did not allow the opponent to return.
In general, even during the two defeats, there were no big problems with the quality of hockey - both times Metallurg conceded only 2:3. Now the team is in good control of the puck again and gives very little opportunity to create at their own goal.
Before the trip to Magnitogorsk, Neftekhimik lost for the first time after four consecutive victories. In Ufa, Nizhnekamsk lost to Salavat Yulaev with a score of 0:2. Moreover, there were very few shots ahead - only 19 shots on target against 42 from the opponent.
At the same time, the team spent the previous segment perfectly. The main change is a much more reliable defense. In the last four meetings, Neftekhimik has conceded only four goals. Therefore, even against a strong Metallurgist, it is not worth waiting for an open game.

Tip and bets
Both teams have been playing noticeably drier matches lately. Metallurg finished three meetings in a row with a total of no more than five goals, and Petrochemicals stopped getting involved in shootouts after a crazy start. In Ufa, Nizhnekamsk created almost nothing, but they themselves allowed the opponent to distinguish themselves only twice. Magnitogorsk residents don't make sense to open up mindlessly now either. After two defeats, they returned to winning ways through solid play and calmly held off 3-0 with Barys. We think the hosts will have more control over the puck again, and the guests will try to close the middle zone as much as possible. In this scenario, it won't be easy to score six goals.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 5.5 goals in 1.95
