Avangard had a very good regular season, ranking 3rd in the Eastern Conference, while also having the best home-game statistics with 24 wins in 34 games on home ice.
Sibir is trailing Avangard in points this season, but their record is tied in overtime and their losses during regular time exceed their wins (23-21).
The pairing is quite interesting, there is no clear favorite, but still Avangard looks more promising at home.
Prediction: Avangard to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 2.03
