Lada has slowed down considerably, but still 71 points in 60 games can be called a great result for a team that just this season returned to the KHL.
Neftekhimik is next door in the standings, but 12 points behind. This will be the 6th face-off between the teams this season - two wins for Lada, 4 wins for Neftekhimik. Still, Lada looks more favourable today.
Prediction: Lada to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 1.82
