CSKA vs. Sibir. KHL match prediction and bets

Current form

CSKA had a poor opening away game against Spartak and lost 2-4. The team was eager to rehabilitate themselves and earn two points at home. They did so, winning 6-2 against Admiral. The best player in the Army team's game was Maxim Sorkin, who scored a hat-trick. Ilya Vorobyov's team demonstrated a very good implementation of the majority and took advantage of three out of six attempts.

However, the coach did not like the first period performed by CSKA, which he stated at the post-match press conference. However, the club played the remaining 40 minutes of the game at a high level and literally did not leave the opponent a single chance.

Interesting trends for betting

• On average, CSKA takes 31 shots on target per match

The army team actively plays in attack and spends most of the time in the opponent's zone at home

Current form

Sibir has not yet been able to adapt to the new season and find its rhythm. The team started its performance with an away series and has already suffered two defeats. First, it failed to cope with Avangard (1:2), and then it was routed by Avtomobilist with a score of 0:4. Even Sergei Shirokov noted in an interview that the Novosibirsk team is playing “something incomprehensible” and ironically emphasized that this “cannot even be called summer hockey.” Indeed, the “snowmen” have a huge number of problems so far and, as a rule, they all lie in the attack.

Even in the previous confrontation with the Yekaterinburg team, Yepanchintsev's team made a total of 36 shots, but was unable to score. It is quite possible that if Sibir continues to play in this vein, there will be changes on the coaching bridge. In general, this is not a new story for the club, since in recent years it has often started with a series of defeats.

Interesting trends for betting

• Siberia averages 28 shots per game

Novosibirsk residents create many dangerous moments and throw a lot, but have problems with converting their chances

• Novosibirsk residents receive only three minutes of penalty time per match

In their first matches, the Snowflakes played with discipline and rarely broke the rules.
