Command Analysis
Barys Nur-Sultan
Astana residents are really good at attacking now. Mikhail Kravets' team first beat Neftekhimik (5:4 OT) and Spartak (4:3 B), and then defeated Avangard with a score of 5 on home ice.:1. Justin Bailey and Tyce Thompson performed particularly well, scoring doubles each. It seemed that Barys had finally found his game.
However, in the next meeting, the winning streak was unexpectedly interrupted. The hosts hosted Siberia and led 2-1 after the first period thanks to goals from Mason Morelli and Kirill Savitsky. In the second twenty minutes, the advantage remained, but then the visitors scored twice and snatched the victory (3:2). The decisive goal turned out to be especially offensive when Hunter Shepard unsuccessfully deflected the puck in front of him. In general, Barys is still doing well ahead, but sometimes there is not enough reliability in defense.
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Yekaterinburg residents also scored a good move. Alexey Kudashov's team has won four of the last five matches, and left their gates locked three times during this period. First, Avtomobilist beat Lada (3:1), then exchanged dry wins with Amur (3:0 and 0:3), and in the last meeting he defeated Avangard with a score of 4:0.
Moreover, Omsk residents could not oppose almost anything to the owners. The motorist outscored his opponent with a score of 38:22, and Vladimir Galkin played to zero. The pucks were scored by Cale Clegg, Alexander Sharov, Alexander Kadeikin and Jesse Blacker. The Yekaterinburg team was especially confident in the final period, in which they scored three times. Now, after a long enough rest, the team is going to Astana.
Avtomobilist now looks a little stronger than his opponent, primarily due to a more reliable defensive game. Yekaterinburg have won four of their last five matches and have not conceded at all three times during this period. I was especially impressed with the victory over Avangard, when Kudashov's team was almost completely in control of what was happening on the ice.
Of course, Barys is also capable of causing a lot of problems. Astana are good offensively and regularly score several goals, but the last meeting with Siberia again showed their weaknesses. The hosts failed to hold the advantage and allowed the opponent too much in the final period. In addition, the motorist has received enough time to recover and should approach the game in good physical condition. Most likely, the guests will try to act in a disciplined manner and not allow Astana residents to disperse quick attacks. Due to a more organized game, Yekaterinburg residents are quite capable of achieving a positive result.
Our betting tip is that the Motorist will win the match in 1.90
