Sochi, which has always been considered the main outsider in the KHL, started the new season quite successfully, scoring 6 points in 6 games, while the team had only away games so far.
Sibir is still looking uncertain in the current season, the team has scored 5 points, but all of them were obtained only in overtime, and those in games with Amur and Barys, which are themselves outsiders of the KHL.
Bookmakers have Sibir as the favourite today, but the team is in uncertain form right now, while Sochi, buoyed by victories over Lokomotiv and Severstal, won't want to lose their first home game.
Prediction: Sochi to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 2.36
