Lada started the season with an unpleasant defeat to Yaroslavl Lokomotiv (0:3). Anatoly Emelin's charges were unable to score even one goal against the Railwaymen and are currently in the penultimate line in the Eastern Conference table.
The Togliatti team held out against the "locomotives'" attack for only one period, after which the visitors scored three unanswered goals, one of them while short-handed. The Volzhane team did not create anything at Daniil Isaev's goal and only made 20 shots at the opponent's goalie.

Togliatti conceded two of the three goals in the game against Lokomotiv when the teams were uneven.

SKA St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
SKA had a disappointing start to the season. Roman Rotenberg's team lost to Metallurg in the first game of the season (4:5, OT), unable to withstand the pressure from the stands.
Stepan Falkovsky scored the first goal for the Army Men in the new season, but by the beginning of the second period of the game, the visitors were already losing. Artemy Pleshkov took Nikita Serebryakov's place in the goal, and Evgeny Kuznetsov scored for the first time since returning to Russia. The teams continued exchanging accurate shots until the very end of regulation time. Borna Rendulic and Arseniy Gritsyuk opened their scoring accounts. In extra time, Magnitka caught their opponents on a counterattack and earned their second point.
Interesting trends for betting
- SKA made 38 shots on goal and scored four times.
The Blue-Reds showed good conversion of chances in the first game of the season (10.26%).
- Petersburgers capitalize on their only power play in the match against Metallurg
The attacking line of the Petersburgers will threaten the opponents' goal in every match.
Estimated composition
Serebryakov, Pleshkov, Vydrenkov, Zaitsev, Falkovsky, Zemchenok, Galenyuk, Kol, Sapego, Zykov, Bardakov, Gritsyuk, Alistrov, Vorobyov, Khairullin, Rendulich, Kuznetsov, Demidov, Tolchinsky, Andronov, Grigorenko
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In the last four games between the teams, there have not been two goals scored in the first period.
1.88Bet 2nd period: SKA win
SKA won 3 of 4 second periods against Lada
1.75Tip and bets
SKA started the season with an unfortunate defeat to Metallurg. The Army Men were very strong in attack, but made a huge number of mistakes in defense, and Nikita Serebryakov played poorly. In the match against Lada, the visitors will control the puck more and are unlikely to allow them to enter their zone so easily. The Togliatti team can only wait for their moments. We don’t think that the Volga team will put up any kind of fight against the favorite.
Our prediction is SKA victory with Asian handicap -1.5 for 1.81
Bet on total
The home team has big problems with creating and converting chances. In the match against Lokomotiv, they only shot 20 times, but they played well in defense. It will not be so easy for SKA to beat Vladislav Podyapolsky, the army team itself will work on the mistakes in defense. We do not expect more than five accurate hits from the teams, but we will take a bet with insurance.
Betting Tip - total under 6 goals for 1.65
Bet on the total of the first period
The club from the Samara region rarely forces events and tries to draw the opponent into its closed hockey. So in the first game of the season, the Volga team held out in the battle with Lokomotiv in the first period and did not concede. We believe that the match against SKA will start in a calm manner and in the first 20 minutes the teams will not score more than one puck.
Betting Tip - total under 1.5 goals in the first period for 1.88
