Neftekhimik is hosting Avtomobilist. Avtomobilist has many injured players, but it is unlikely to prevent them from defeating Neftekhimik. Neftekhimik is unlikely to make it to the playoffs this season, as it is one of the weaker teams in the league. Neftekhimik may show some attacking prowess, but their defense is usually porous. Avtomobilist is a lower-tier team, so a complete blowout may not happen, and their last match on Neftekhimik's ice ended with a 1-0 victory for the hosts. Avtomobilist may surprise, but Neftekhimik has conceded 11 goals in their last two matches. Avtomobilist should win, even with several injured players.
Based on the information in the text, Neftkhimik is becoming the favorite of the match as they are destroying their opponents and showing their strength. At the same time, Avtomobilist will be seeking to use the advantage to catch up with Neftkhimik and secure a victory. However, considering that the game has not started yet, I believe Neftkhimik has the best chances for a good result. Therefore, placing a bet with a handicap on the away team, Neftkhimik, could be reasonable and beneficial.
Forecast for the match Neftekhimik - Avtomobilist: Avtomobilist's individual total over 3.5 goals. Both teams are not among the leaders in the KHL this season, but Avtomobilist shows more consistent play. Neftekhimik, on the other hand, concedes a lot of goals, which gives reason to expect the opponent's scoring ability. Neftekhimik returned from Magnitogorsk with two losses, conceding 11 goals in just two matches. Such defensive frailty is the main obstacle for the hosts. Avtomobilist, although not demonstrating impressive winning streaks, has a strong roster. The team's offensive leaders are in good form, which allows them to successfully convert their chances. Last season showed that Neftekhimik and Avtomobilist have similar defensive issues, but currently Avtomobilist has more stability and advantages in attacking actions. Taking into account the above-mentioned factors, there is reason to expect that Avtomobilist will be able to score over 3.5 goals in this match. The hosts will likely work hard in defense, but they themselves may concede in terms of scoring. This forecast is based on the defensive trend of Neftekhimik and the results of past meetings between the teams. It will be interesting to see if Avtomobilist can exploit the opponent's weakness and score the expected multiple goals.
The match between Neftekhimik and Avtomobilist will be very interesting and high-scoring. Both teams have shown a high level of scoring ability this season, especially Neftekhimik, who scores a lot of goals but also concedes a lot. In previous head-to-head meetings, the total goals often exceeded six. With the strong squad that Avtomobilist has, they should be able to score at least four goals, and Neftekhimik is also capable of delighting their home fans with a couple of goals. Therefore, I believe that the total goals over six in this match will be achieved. Of course, there is some risk involved, but considering the teams' performances this season and their history in previous encounters, I think it's worth taking the risk.
