Neftekhimik - Avangard: betting tip (cf. 1.68) and bets on the KHL match

Nizhnekamsk broke a series of defeats thanks to a difficult victory over Salavat Yulaev with a score of 4:3 in shootouts. Igor Grishin's team was inferior after the second period, but managed to change the course of the meeting. Nikita Khoruzhev, Dmitry Sokolov and Artyom Mityakin scored in regular time, and Andrey Belozerov scored the winning shot in the post-match series. At the same time, the hosts allowed the opponent to land 45 shots on target.

This success became especially important after the crushing defeats of Metallurg (1:8) and Lokomotiv (1:5). In two meetings, Nizhnekamsk conceded 13 goals at once, although they had beaten Siberia (3:1) and Sochi (2:1) quite confidently before that. The main problem remains the instability of defensive formations, and an attack does not always compensate for mistakes. Belozerov and Dmitry Tyulin are capable of creating dangerous moments, but the effectiveness of the other links is often not enough.

Omsk made one of the most impressive comebacks of the last KHL game day. In Magnitogorsk, Guy Boucher's team lost to Metallurg with a score of 1:3 after two periods, but managed to win back and win 4-3 in overtime. Andrew Poturalski opened the scoring for the visitors, followed by Michael MacLeod and Vasily Ponomarev. Mikhail Gulyaev scored the decisive shot in the fourth minute of extra time.

The victory made it possible to quickly forget about the unsuccessful trip to Minsk, where Avangard lost to the local Dynamo (0-4). At the same time, in the last five meetings, Omsk scored four victories, and all four came in overtime. Earlier, they managed to beat Siberia (4:3), CSKA (2:1) and Sochi (2:1). Joshua Livo, Konstantin Okulov and MacLeod provide the necessary support for the attack, but the team does not always effectively realize the advantage in regular time.
