In the first match of the next game day in the regular championship of the Kontinental Hockey League, Amur will host Sochi in Khabarovsk. Our sports portal gives a forecast for the game.
"Amur" Khabarovsk
At the moment, the Khabarovsk club is located on the penultimate line in the Eastern Conference table. Vadim Epanchintsev's team played 13 matches and scored only 10 points. Amur still has big problems in attack — the team scored only 21 goals. This is the worst result in the conference. The Tigers played the previous match in the regular season on October 1, when they lost to Ak Bars in Kazan (2:3 OT). During the meeting, Amur won with a two-goal difference, but eventually lost in extra time. Before returning to Khabarovsk, the Far Eastern club played four matches on the road and suffered three defeats.
HC Sochi
According to the results of 13 matches, the Black Sea club scored eight points and now occupies the last place in the Western Conference table. However, in the last game, Andrei Nazarov's wards beat Admiral on the road with a score of 4:2. The guests secured a two-goal advantage after the first period, and then brought the meeting to victory. This season, Sochi scored 25 goals — the worst result in the conference along with Kunlun Red Star. The Black Sea team won two victories in the last three matches, while it scored points in each of these meetings.
Statistics and figures:
- Bookmakers consider "Amur" the favorite of the upcoming match;
- Previously, the teams met each other 16 times: Amur won seven victories, Sochi - nine;
- The last game with the participation of rivals ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Amur.
Forecast
In three of the last four full-time matches, Sochi has scored at least two goals against the opponent. Let's bet that Nazarov's team will break through an individual "total" of one and a half goals.
