Command Analysis
Current form
So far, it has not been possible to fully assess the changes in CSKA's lineup, as the team has only played two friendly matches. In the first match, the Muscovites met with Dynamo Minsk and won a confident victory over the obvious underdog with a score of 4:2. However, the team was unable to consolidate its success, as Spartak stood in the way, and had to lose in a shootout (3:4). The Army Men had the advantage throughout the entire match and weakened in the final twenty minutes.
Indeed, this year CSKA has undergone serious changes in its roster, which means it will be very interesting to watch them both in the upcoming match and throughout the regular championship.

Current form
Last season, Vityaz had serious problems with offensive scoring, which was the main factor in the club's poor performance. It seems that this time the coaching staff decided to get rid of this shortcoming, as they began to play active attacking hockey, which results in high scoring.
Overall, the results of the «bogatyrs» in the preseason are mixed, the team periodically achieves success in matches with serious opponents, beating «Metallurg» (6:4) and «Torpedo» (3:2 OT), but mostly continues to suffer failures.

1.43Tip and bets
CSKA will clearly try to show its best at the home tournament and will play with its best lineup. This means that Vityaz has little chance of success, especially considering their recent play style. The Bogatyrs are trying to play open attacking hockey, which the Army Men will only be happy about. Indeed, CSKA has changed significantly during the off-season, but even considering the rotations, the club remains head and shoulders above the Podolsk team, which means it is better to make a confident bet in favor of the home team.
Our prediction is a CSKA victory with a handicap of (-1.5) pucks for 1.65
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of goals scored, as both teams prefer open attacking hockey, thereby pleasing fans with a productive game. It is unlikely that anything will change, which means there is an excellent opportunity to bet on the total over.
Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals for 1.66
Bet on the outcome of the first period
CSKA, due to its total superiority over its opponent, as well as the advantage of home walls, is simply obliged to start the match with serious pressure on Vityaz, which will ultimately allow the Army Men to earn an advantage in the starting segment.
Prediction - CSKA win in the first period for 1.92
