Barys will host Tractor in Kazakhstan in the regular season match of the Kontinental Hockey League. Our sports portal gives a forecast for the game.
"Barys"
The club from Astana occupies the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference table. This season, he played 57 games in the regular season and scored 54 points. The gap from the eighth line is not at all critical yet — only two points. Andrei Skabelka's team has suffered six defeats in the last eight matches, but it regularly scores points in the last four meetings. First, Barys beat Tractor (3:2 OT) and Avtomobilist (5:3), and then lost to Metallurg (1:2 OT) and Severstal (0:1 B). Barys will play the next two matches at home, and then go to Kazan and Moscow.
"Tractor"
The Chelyabinsk club also scored 54 points, but played three matches less than the opponent. Traktor currently occupies the last place in the Eastern Conference table, but is only two points behind the playoff zone. The last match was a success for Chelyabinsk — they beat Avangard on the road (4:2) thanks to goals by Alexey Byvaltsev, Vladimir Tkachev, Anton Burdasov and Nikita Soshnikov. On January 27, Traktor will play in Astana, on the 29th - in Kazan, and on January 31 — will host a home match with Dynamo Moscow.
Statistics and figures:
- "Barys" is the favorite of the match according to the bookmakers.
- In the last face—to-face meetings, "Barys" won 28 victories, "Tractor" - 22.
- The previous game ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of Barys.
Forecast
Another rather difficult match for the forecast. I will give a slight preference to the guests and put a zero head start on the Tractor.
