Atlant sacked headcoach Fedor Kanareykin after last defeat at home against Ufa. There is more expectation to move from 8th position in Western Conference before national team of Russia break following week.
Barys Astana is mostly scoring by first line, what we can see in playerstats. Team from Kazakhstan did not add loss 7 games in regular time (two games lost after OT in this serie). Goalie Jeff Glass was hot in last three games with 94% SV.
This fact is very important for me to check Barys following games after streak of seven losses before current streak of good results. I do not expect more then 2,5 goals by Astana in today's game, but it will be enough for Atlant to win this game in regular time ?
I would go for under 5,5 total goals at Unibet. They are offering an odd 1,90. More chances for Atlant win in this game, but because of lower number of goals expected the odd of value 1,60 is not valuable to play today.
