Sochi vs Podolsk (Predictions, Preview, Picks, Tips, Odds)

Sochi is in top 8 in the Western Conference (sixth position), with eleven-point advantage over the ninth team in the standings (Medvescak Zagreb) and in a relatively good form, as the hosts have won half of their last ten games (4-1-3-2  27-31).However, more important for my bet is that this team has good record at "Bolshoy Ice Dome" (13-1-5-5  70-56) and now Sochi will face an opponent, who continues to struggle mightily.Podolsk is coming off six straight losses, two of them away from home against Niznekamsk on Dec. 26 (3-5) and Ufa on Dec. 28 (0-3).The visitors own the worst away record in the league (5-1-0-16  38-62), while "Bolshoy Ice Dome" is not among the favorite places for Podolsk, as this team lost each of its previous three visits here (2-5 on 05.01.2015, 2-5 on 30.01.2015 and 0-5 on 03.10.2015).I doubt that the hosts will make mistake in that game.
