LiontipsSiberia - Ak Bars: betting tip (cf. 1.72) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Siberia has finally given out the match that has been expected of it for a long time. After defeats from Avtomobilist, Neftekhimik and Dinamo Minsk, Novosibirsk came to Sochi and defeated the hosts with a score of 5:1. Anton Kosolapov scored a double, Darren Dietz scored two points, and Mikhail Berdine blocked 24 shots.
However, it's too early to completely forget the previous problems. Before the trip to Sochi, the team missed a lot and scored very hard. Plus, Evgeny Kuznetsov was injured in the last meeting. Luzenkov said that the striker actually finished the match on one leg, so the condition of one of the leaders of the attack before the new meeting raises questions.
Ak Bars continues to alternate good matches with failures. After a bright comeback in Ufa, Kazan lost to Sochi 2:3, and then at home with great difficulty they coped with Lada - 3:2 in overtime. Alexey Byvaltsev scored the winning goal.
Before this game, there was an unexpected change in the lineup. Kevin Hayes has announced his retirement after just five games in the KHL. However, it is difficult to call it a serious loss in the current game - the American has not scored a single point, and his place in the first links has already been redistributed.

Tip and bets
The defeat of Sochi slightly corrected the impression of Siberia, but one good game is not enough yet. Prior to that, Novosibirsk had lost four meetings in a row, and there were regular problems both with the implementation and at their own gates. Now there is still a question about Kuznetsov's condition. Ak Bars itself is still far from ideal, but Kazan are gaining points much more steadily and have already beaten this opponent this season. In the first meeting, Siberia seriously resisted and even led by two goals, so we are not waiting for an easy walk again. But in terms of the depth of the squad and the overall quality of the game, the guests look more reliable. We believe that even in a tight match Kazan should find a way to get two points.
Our betting tip is for Ak Bars to win the match in 1.72
