In the KHL match between Avangard and Sibir, a victory for the home team is expected. Avangard has a solid lineup, good form, and the support of their fans. In previous games against Sibir, they have managed to secure victories. Sibir has undergone changes, including a new coach and players, which could impact the outcome. Taking into account these factors, betting on Avangard to win this match seems the most likely outcome.
The forecast for the match between Avangard and Sibir: Total under 4.5 goals. Both teams have shown low offensive output in the preseason, mostly playing in a defensive counter-attacking style. In their recent matches, both teams have had results with a total of less than 4.5 goals, confirming the low scoring trend. Considering this and the previous match between them with a minimal number of goals scored, the likelihood of a low-scoring game is high.
In the Avangard - Sibir match, a high tempo game and attacking hockey are expected from the hosts. Avangard usually plays well at home and scores many goals, especially early in the season. Considering Sibir's weak defense and Avangard's desire to open the scoring early, it is likely that the hosts will score at least three goals in this game. Therefore, the individual total on Avangard over 2.5 goals is the best betting option for this match.
