Yekaterinburg performs well on home ice - 4 wins in 4 games, scoring 16 goals and conceding 8. Avtomobilist’s top line is distinguished by high production in all games, especially the team captain, who scored a hat-trick in the last match.
Sibir shares the first line in the Eastern Conference with Yekaterinburg. The team also has 9 points, but Sibir shows low production - 13 goals scored and 7 conceded in six meetings. Such a low performance is a little surprising, because the Canadian combination of Murphy-Beck score in every match, and the goalkeeper of Sibir has little experience in the KHL.
Therefore, we do not think the teams will show low production today. Yekaterinburg Avtomobilist is used to playing aggressive hockey from the first minutes, so the hosts can break the total of 4 goals solely today.
Our prediction: at least 4 goals to be scored. We recommend the “Over 3.5” bet, odds 1.4
