Top bets from an expert

Command Analysis

After a crushing victory over the Shanghai Dragons with a score of 6:2, Chelyabinsk cannot achieve another success. First, Traktor lost to Neftekhimik in overtime (2:3), and Mikhail Grigorenko and Andrey Svetlakov helped the team to restore equality twice. There were plenty of chances in the attack, but most of them failed to materialize. And the mistakes in defending your own goal haven't disappeared.
In Omsk, Scott Gordon's team was able to impose a fight again. Two periods against Avangard went without scoring goals, and at the beginning of the third, the hosts took the lead thanks to Joshua Livo. However, Artemy Nizameyev quickly restored equality, realizing the majority. The winner had to be determined by shootouts, where Omsk turned out to be stronger (2:1). Sergey Nikolaev blocked 30 shots in game time, but his efforts were not enough. At the same time, Traktor has not pleased fans with victories on home ice for a long time, which only increases the pressure on the team.

Kazan finally began to act more confidently on the road, but returning home again ended in a loss of points. In the confrontation with Torpedo, Anvar Gatiyatulin's team opened the scoring at the beginning of the second period. Semyon Terekhov successfully played near someone else's goal after Grigory Denisenko's pass. However, shortly before the break, Anton Sizov restored equality, and the audience did not see any more abandoned goals during game time.
The third period turned out to be especially difficult, when Nizhny Novgorod significantly outperformed the hosts in dangerous moments. Maxim Arefyev helped out his partners several times, but Ak Bars still lost in the shootout (1:2). Prior to that, Kazan beat Dinamo Minsk 4-1, with Albert Yarullin, Denis Zernov, Alexey Byvaltsev and Mitchell Miller scoring. Even earlier, they managed to defeat the Shanghai Dragons in overtime (3:2). Overall, the recent results are not perfect, but the team is gradually regaining its former confidence.
Tip and bets
The tractor's problems with implementation are becoming more noticeable, especially when the team performs in front of its own fans. Chelyabinsk residents have a hard time even meeting opponents who are not particularly reliable in defense. Ak Bars is quite capable of taking advantage of this situation, as it has a more stable offense and quite experienced hockey players. At the same time, Kazan players also do not always demonstrate high performance, so it is hardly worth waiting for a large number of goals in the upcoming confrontation.
It is likely that the meeting will take place in a stubborn struggle, and much will depend on who will be able to open an account. The tractor will certainly try to interrupt the home series of failures, but problems with completing attacks may again hinder Chelyabinsk residents. Kazan has an advantage in the organization of the game and more opportunities to decide the outcome of the meeting due to individual skill. We expect a rather cautious hockey game, in which the guests will be able to achieve a positive result.
