Just two weeks ago, Avangard beat Neftekhimik with a minimum score of 1-0, and Nizhnekamsk failed to cope with Nikita Serebryakov. Now the teams will meet in Omsk, where the guests will go after an unexpected victory over Lokomotiv. The hosts are also gradually correcting the situation and have won three of the last four matches. However, the performance of Guy Boucher's team is still not going smoothly. In our betting tip, we will look at the latest performances of the rivals and select a bet based on their current form
Command Analysis
Avangard Omsk
The vanguard continues to gradually get out of a difficult situation, although victories are still difficult. After a crushing defeat from Barys (1:5), Omsk managed to beat Avtomobilist with a score of 4:2. The main hero of the meeting was Michael MacLeod, who scored a hat-trick. The hosts had a particularly successful first period, when the Canadian scored twice. Vasily Ponomarev scored another goal, and Konstantin Okulov scored two assists.
The next home match against Traktor turned out to be much less productive. For two periods, the opponents could not open an account at all, and only at the beginning of the third Joshua Livo realized the majority. However, Chelyabinsk residents quickly restored equality thanks to Artemy Nizameyev. As a result, the winner had to be determined by shootouts, where Gleb Burlaka made the decisive throw (2:1). Nikita Serebryakov had a good meeting again, winning out the partners several times. Now Omsk has three wins in the last four matches, but the problems with the implementation have not disappeared.
Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk
The victory over Lokomotiv can be called one of the most unexpected for the Petrochemist this season. Nizhnekamsk went to Yaroslavl after losing to CSKA (1-4), and in that meeting they were able to make only 19 shots on target. German Tochilkin scored the only goal, and the opponent controlled the situation practically throughout the entire match. It seemed that the next exit would also be extremely difficult.
However, Igor Grishin's team managed to surprise one of the leaders of the Western Conference. Two periods against Lokomotiv passed without scoring goals, and at the beginning of the final segment, Andrei Belozerov made the most of the passes from Damir Zhafyarov and Alexander Petunin. This goal turned out to be the only one in the meeting (1-0). Philip Dolganov played particularly well, deflecting all 34 shots and scoring a dry match. Moreover, earlier Neftekhimik beat Traktor in overtime (3:2). In general, Nizhnekamsk is quite capable of scoring points even against strong opponents, although there are still difficulties with performance.
The latest results show that both teams are gradually betting on a more reliable defense. Avangard managed to achieve three wins in four matches, but only once scored more than one goal in regular time. Even against the Tractor, Omsk residents had great difficulty finding free space, although they attacked quite a lot. Petrochemist is also not very effective, but he is able to act in a disciplined manner. The victory over Lokomotiv was a good confirmation that Nizhnekamsk residents are able to withstand serious pressure.
Do not forget about the recent face-to-face meeting, when the rivals limited themselves to a single puck. Since then, there have been no changes in the teams' offense that would allow us to count on productive hockey. Most likely, the hosts will try to control the game, and the guests will again focus on tight defense and quick counterattacks. In this scenario, you don't have to wait for a lot of goals.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 5.5 goals in 1.80 seconds.
