Command Analysis

MHC Spartak

Current form
In the first game of the Kharlamov Cup final series, Spartak won 2-1 in Moscow, leading the series to four wins.:0. The guests played more actively in the first minutes of the match, but the red and white quickly leveled the game and scored a goal at the end of the first period. In the middle of the second half, the guests from the banks of the Neva River won back. It should be noted that at the beginning of the third segment there was a controversial moment at the gate of the forty-sixth. The puck ended up under the goalkeeper's shield, but after a video review it was determined that it did not cross the line, but the Muscovites took the lead anyway. The guests, playing in the majority, made a mistake on someone else's blue line and Alexander Barkov's team scored in the minority. This goal turned out to be the winning goal, and replacing the SKA-1946 goalkeeper with a field player at the end of the game did nothing.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won eight victories in the last 10 games and has not put the game into overtime.
- In the last 10 playoff games, the club has scored an average of 3.3 goals.
