The hockey team Avtomobilist is hosting Sochi, historically high-scoring matches between them. Avtomobilist needs victories to secure a top-4 spot. Sochi has put up a good fight in their previous encounters. Avtomobilist is currently confident in attack, while Sochi is not very reliable in defense. I expect an active game from both sides, and possibly a total score over 5.5.
In the Avtomobilist - Sochi match, "Auto" is the favorite as Sochi is in terrible form with 8 consecutive losses. Avtomobilist is trying but struggles to score. Sochi has a weak defense, and Auto should succeed in attack. Probably, Avtomobilist will win with a handicap of -1.5.
Today, Avtomobilist hosts Sochi at their home arena. Sochi has lost their last 8 matches and is showing poor form. The guests have no motivation, whereas Avtomobilist needs to bounce back after a series of defeats. Additionally, historically Avtomobilist has often beaten Sochi by a margin of 3+ goals. Taking into account the above factors, it is likely that Avtomobilist will win with a handicap (-2.5) in this game.
