LiontipsCSKA — Vityaz. KHL match forecast and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
CSKA is currently on the fifth line of the Western Conference, although it recently took second place. Due to the serious density in the standings, literally one defeat dropped the team to the fifth position. Let's remind you that before that, the team had recently been going through very bad times and lost match after match, and since the beginning of the new year it had been a long time since they could come to their senses. Upon returning to the home arena, the Army team nevertheless pulled themselves together and won three victories in a row, losing only in the final meeting.
So, after unsuccessful matches against Severstal (4:5 B) and Spartak (1:4), the Muscovites on their ice first literally declassed the same Cherepovets (6:1), and then beat a difficult opponent in the face of Torpedo with the same score - 6:1. The confrontation It turned out to be incredibly tense with Avangard, but nevertheless Ilya Vorobyov's squad persevered and achieved success in the shootout (2:1 B). A similar trick in a duel with Cherepovets did not work out for her, and she was defeated with a score of 3:4. It is noteworthy that in that match with the Steelers, the club completely failed the starting segment, during which it missed three times, and almost made a great comeback, but it did not have enough time to fully complete it.
In general, Vorobyov's team is performing much stronger on the home court this season than away, and up to this point they have already managed to score 15 victories within 60 minutes. As a rule, the starting twenty minutes is best for Muscovites, in which they have a 41:33 ratio in scoring and conceding goals.

Current form
Vityaz is one of the outsiders in the Western Conference this season and, of course, can no longer qualify for the playoffs. The team is currently on the penultimate line of the standings and, by and large, can only count on keeping it. However, for a long period of time, she has not been able to recover, and now she is in a series of five defeats.
On their ice, the Bogatyrs had previously lost to Kunlun (1:2), then lost to SKA (1:4) on the road, and after an unsuccessful match with Traktor (1:2), they again lost to Torpedo (1:2B). Before the break for the All-Star Game, they faced the St. Petersburg Army team at home and lost to them again in regular time with a score of 2:4, once again scoring only two goals. In general, Vityaz faces performance problems in many matches and often cannot open the opponent's defense three times.
Pavel Desyatkov's team spends the third twenty minutes worst of all, during which it has a 34:57 ratio in pucks scored and missed. It should also be noted that the bogatyrs are mediocre in unequal formations, especially in the minority, and currently have only 78.8% neutralization of the majority of the opponent. Strangely enough, in the confrontation with SKA, they never missed in the 4x5 format, although the opponent had only three attempts.

Trends

In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.72Bet 2nd period: CSKA victory
In three of the four matches, CSKA kept the second leg behind them.
2.05Tip and bets
We think that CSKA will not leave a single chance for their opponent in the upcoming match. The Army team stumbled in the last confrontation with Severstal, but before that they showed their best and stayed on a long winning streak. Vityaz had previously shown disastrous results and was on a series of failures. Past meetings between the clubs, as a rule, ended in favor of the home team, although with a slight advantage in the score. Ilya Vorobyov's squad absolutely cannot lose points now, and they understand this perfectly well, because only thanks to a series of victories can they gain a foothold on the second line of the Western Conference.
Forecast - CSKA victory 1.60
Bet on the total total
Previous matches between the teams were not very productive and, as a rule, ended with less than six goals scored. In matches with Vityaz, CSKA tries to win in class and leave strength for subsequent matches with more powerful opponents. By the way, the guests also played the last four out of five meetings with less than six goals scored. Based on this, it makes sense to put less on the total.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Recently, Vityaz has been experiencing great difficulties with performance and usually could not even register more than one abandoned puck. After an unsuccessful match against Cherepovets, CSKA will certainly try to play as reliably as possible within the starting twenty minutes and restrain the onslaught of their opponent. Moreover, even in the last confrontation with the "heroes", the hosts got off with only one missed puck.
We're betting on Vityaz's individual total of less than two goals in 1.67
