The future of "Barys" in the KHL is in serious doubt.

"The worst team in the current KHL season is heading to Omsk. Recent reports indicate that the existence of 'Barys' in the KHL is highly uncertain. The club will be missing 10 key players for the next few matches, as the Kazakhstani hockey players have joined the national team for the Asian Games. In their last game, they ended a 12-game losing streak by defeating 'Sibir' (4:3 in overtime), but it seems they are poised to start a new losing streak now."

Expert from the website ВсеПроСпорт.ру Darya Tuboltseva has made a prediction for the KHL match “Avangard” vs. “Barys”, as reported by Sports.kz.

“The worst team of the current KHL season is heading to Omsk. According to the latest information, the existence of ‘Barys’ in the KHL is in serious doubt. The club will play the next few matches without 10 key players, as the Kazakh hockey players have joined the national team for the Asian Games. The team has just ended a 12-game losing streak by defeating ‘Sibir’ (4:3 OT) in their last match, but now, it seems, they will begin a new one.

“Although ‘Avangard’ is not in the best form and cannot rely on injured players Maklaud and Prokhorkin, they should easily handle such an opponent. This season, the teams have met three times: with two victories for the ‘Hawks’ and one for ‘Barys’. The second half of January has been worse for Omsk compared to the first: after six consecutive wins, they have suffered three losses in four matches. However, even in this state, ‘Avangard’ remains the undisputed favorite. One can bet on ‘Avangard’ scoring more than 3.5 goals,” the expert believes.
