Kontinental League - Lada Togliatti v Sibir Novosibirsk

Meeting of two teams that are in desperate need of points. So, motivation shouldn't be questionable...

And while Lada still has chances for Play-off spot, Sibir chances are already now very slim. There is still a lot to play and many points to catch, but with such performances Sibir can't hope for anything. Sibir has so far took only 11 points, only four teams have acted worst then that. Away, it is even worst situation for Sibir, they've picked only two points, with surprising 0:1 OT win in Niznekamsk. Overall they results were really bad, five of their eleven points came from two back to back games with Dynamo Riga at the time when they were in mini-crisis following their long trips to Khabarovsk and Novosibirsk. Sibir so far didn't showed anything impressive, their away goal difference is worst in league, and only Amur and Vityaz have picked less points away (and it isn't surprising about Amur).

Lada, in contrast to Sibir, has positive goal difference. They are well-known as low scoring team that usually plays unders, but this season they score more then they concede. Lada had tougher schedule then Sibir, facing Kazan, Avangard (twice), Magnitogorsk and Ufa. Also Novokuzneck (which is currently "hot" team). Sibir had only three tough games (Loko, Avangard and Kazan). Lada at home was tough bone to crack, even against Kazan and Avangard. In eg. they've won over Kazan in SO, while Sibir lost 4:8 away.

Usually i would play under in match of this two teams, but i fear Sibir's "blackouts" which cost them results like 4:8 and 1:6, even Barys managed to win them on their ice 4:2. This offer by Sportingbet equals offer of Bet365 with odds, only difference is that Bet365 offers such odds for HANDICAP win (-1). This is just too good to skip it, Lada looks like better team, has home advantage (very important in KHL) and great tradition against Siberian team - W6-D1-L1 at home, winning three of last four mutual meetings. I expect results like 3:1 or 4:1...
