Barys

Spartak comes into this matchup with clear motivation, after a resounding victory against Admiral at home last Thursday. Despite a somewhat uncertain start with tough defeats, such as 1-6 against Minsk and 0-2 against Nizhnekamsk, the team has recovered well, showing great offensive capacity by winning 5-3 in Ufa. This victory over Admiral was not surprising, given that the Vladivostok team is among the main contenders for the playoffs. Currently, Spartak has already secured its place in the postseason, which gives them great confidence for this clash.

As for Barys, the situation is much more complicated. The Astana team is not only fighting to stay out of the playoff zone, but also faces an almost impossible challenge to overcome: its points difference with respect to eighth place seems insurmountable at this stage of the season. Barys is coming off a three-game losing streak at home, in which they were beaten in extra time by Metallurg, Severstal and the Shanghai Dragons. What worries the team the most is their low offensive production, as only the weakest teams in the league, such as HC Sochi and Admiral, have scored fewer goals than them.

The last confrontations between both teams show a clear advantage for Spartak, who has won the last two home games by 6-3 and 4-2. Furthermore, this season, Spartak managed to win in Astana, although on that occasion the match was decided in extra time.

Spartak victory in regular time. Given the superiority of the Muscovites compared to the Astana team, Spartak is likely to take the three points without the need for extra time.

Risk bet (high odds):

Spartak victory by more than 3 goals difference. Although it is a risky bet, Spartak has shown in recent games that it can score several times, while Barys continues to struggle with its offense.
