Ak Bars - Amur: betting tip (cf. 1.60) and bets on the KHL match

The sixth home defeat in a row was a real disappointment for Kazan fans. In the previous meeting, Ak Bars lost to Avangard with a score of 0:4, and problems arose already in the first period. Michael MacLeod opened the scoring in the 16th minute, and shortly before the break, Joshua Livo increased the advantage of the visitors. In the future, the owners tried to rectify the situation, but they could hardly create serious problems for Nikita Serebryakov. In the third period, MacLeod converted the majority, and Vasily Ponomarev hit an empty net. Serebryakov blocked all 24 shots and scored his second dry match of the season.

The performance of Anvar Gatiyatulin's team looks especially unpleasant. In the last four meetings, Kazan scored only four goals, and in three matches they failed to score more than once. The only victory in this segment was a 2-1 victory over Salavat Yulaev thanks to goals from Alexander Khmelevsky and Denis Komkov. Earlier, Ak Bars lost to Tractor (1:3) and Torpedo in shootouts (1:2). Kirill Semenov and Grigory Denisenko continue to be important offensive performers, but it is not always possible to realize the emerging moments. Therefore, Kazan residents regularly experience difficulties even against less powerful rivals.

Khabarovsk lost to Dynamo Moscow with a score of 1:2 in the previous match, although they retained opportunities for a positive result throughout the meeting. In the first period, Pavel Sheng put the hosts ahead, but Vitaly Abramov managed to restore equality, taking advantage of an opponent's mistake when leaving his own zone. The decisive moment occurred in the second twenty minutes, when Igor Martynov scored in the minority. Amur tried to rectify the situation and was especially active in the final period, but it was no longer possible to beat Maxim Motorygin. At the same time, Maxim Dorozhko also acted quite reliably, deflecting 27 shots.

Before the trip to Moscow, Alexander Andrievsky's team had won two victories in a row. First, they managed to defeat Barys with a score of 5:2, with Yaroslav Likhachev scoring a hat-trick. Then Khabarovsk confidently defeated Admiral (3-0), deciding the outcome of the meeting in the first period. Then Abramov scored a double, and Kirill Pilipenko scored the third goal. At the same time, goalkeeper Alexander Trushkov kept the goal intact, deflecting 33 shots. In recent meetings, Amur has been quite attentive in defense and is able to achieve results even without high offensive performance. Now the guests will have to face an opponent who is experiencing similar difficulties ahead.
