Lada is not showing the best form, the team has scored 9 points in the last 10 games. But we should not forget that Lada is a newcomer to the KHL, and the team's calendar has been extremely difficult. The team was already the leader in the Eastern Conference and is quite capable of sensations this season.
But Neftekhimik is a complete failure now - the team has lost 6 games in a row, although the team has long ago proved the status of the main outsider in the East.
The teams have played each other 1 time this season, Neftekhimik beat Lada 0-4 on the road, but today we expect a different outcome, as Lada has shown a completely different level of play since that game in October.
Prediction: Lada to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 2.19
