In the Amur - Barys match, an open hockey game with a lot of goals is expected. Both teams have defensive issues and are strong in attack. Amur performs better at home and has an extra motivation after a series of defeats. Barys plays poorly away and struggles in offense. It is very likely that both teams will score, and the total goals will be exceeded. Therefore, a bet on Total over 5.0 goals seems reasonable.
In this match, "Amur" will host "Barys" at home, where the team from Khabarovsk shows a more confident game. Considering the recent results and psychological advantage of "Amur" in matches against "Barys", as well as the poor away record of the Kazakh team, we should expect a win for the hosts. The past meetings between these teams also favor "Amur". Prediction: "Amur" victory.
"Barys will face Amur, and I think that the visitors will be able to score more than one goal in this game. Barys has a strong attacking line with players capable of converting chances, such as Bocharov, Burdasov, and Setdikov. Additionally, the visitors will have a great motivation as they need points. At the same time, Amur's defense has some issues and may concede a few goals. My prediction - Barys will score more than 1.5 goals."
