A game in the ongoing "Ice Hockey. KHL. Regular Season" championship, the team Sibir will travel to play against the opposing team. The game will take place at the stadium Арена Нефтехимик - 12 October 2025 year.
These teams have already played against each other 11 месяцев назад and at that time, the team Sibir proved stronger. Notably, they are once again playing an away match..
The match ended with a minimal advantage of the club Sibir over the opponent.
The teams have faced each other 4 times in the recent past. For the home team, this match is a good opportunity to redeem themselves against this opponent, as they previously lost all head-to-head encounters.
Let's try to understand and analyze which team is stronger.
Neftekhimik: It is in eighth place in the standings out of 12. The team is in not their best form.
The team has had issues with finishing in recent matches, while defensive mistakes persist. A bit about the previously played games:
Last time the team Нефтехимик played an away match against the club Барыс, it took place 11 месяцев назад. The score 2:1 showed the real form of the teams, where the visitors looked worse than the hosts. One match before this The team played an away match against the club from the city of Екатеринбург - Автомобилист 11 месяцев назад. The match featured шайбами. Both teams played without looking back at their own goals, resulting in a total of 5 goals scored and a loss for Нефтехимик.
Sibir: Occupies seventh place in the standings out of 12. The team is in poor form.
The club fails to maintain a balance between defense and attack, which is why they concede quite a lot. Let's consider how the team performed in recent games:
Last time The team played an away match against the club from the city of Магнитогорск - Металлург Магнитогорск 11 месяцев назад. A stunning shootout with an abundance of goals undoubtedly delighted the fans. The winners, represented by this team, managed to score just one more goal. But that was enough for the victory. One match before this the team Сибирь played an away match against the club Трактор, it took place 11 месяцев назад. The team can only hope that this game was an exception, as such a crushing defeat was clearly unexpected here..

HC SochiMy prediction for the match between "Neftekhimik" and "Sibir" is a victory for "Neftekhimik" at odds of 2.00. Neftekhimik had a poor home series, but the team plays brightly, creates chances, and will eventually start converting their advantage. Sibir also has problems in attack and potentially looking for reinforcements. Therefore, I believe that "Neftekhimik" will be able to return to winning ways in this game.
Forecast: X2 (Siberia will not lose). Rationale: "Siberia" has the advantage over "Neftekhimik" in previous meetings, winning the last three matches. "Neftekhimik" has suffered defeat in its last four home games, indicating its inconsistency. "Siberia" has been more successful in away matches, showing greater confidence. Thus, there is a high probability that "Siberia" will at least secure a draw in this match.
Forecast: Total under in the match Sibir - Neftekhimik. Sibir struggles in attack and focuses on defense under an inexperienced coach. Neftekhimik is stable and good at repelling attacks. Both teams tend to have low-scoring matches. We expect the game to end with a low total.
