LiontipsSKA - CSKA. KHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The St. Petersburg Army team is outside the playoff zone after almost two months of regular season training. Igor Larionov's men occupy the ninth place in the West, having scored a modest 16 points in 16 games. SKA has won only two matches since September 21 and lost eight matches during that time. The current home series began for the team from the Northern capital of Russia with a difficult victory over Avtomobilist (2:1), which was achieved mainly due to an error by the referee. After that, the red and blue lost to Petrochemicals (2:3, B), and two days later they once again failed to cope with the pressure of the Locomotive (1:3).
Current form
CSKA returned to the cup eight in the West, but so far it occupies only the eighth position in the conference. The team led by Igor Nikitin has earned 18 points in 17 starts and so far clearly does not show the game that was expected from the Army team before the start of the season. Nikita Nesterov's squad has not been able to produce a series of victories for a long time and has just won two victories in a row for the first time. The Muscovites lost on the road in Yaroslavl (1:4), but took the psychologically important ones in Nizhny Novgorod (1:0). After returning home, the red and blue turned out to be stronger than Dynamo Minsk (5:3).
Trends
Bet 2nd period: total less than 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches involving St. Petersburg, the second period was not productive.
2.02Tip and bets
CSKA is steadily gaining form and the guests are close to having a series of victories. The team from Moscow has shown good hockey in recent matches and should not slow down in the game against a principled opponent. SKA continues to lose, and Victoria's match with the Motorist looks more like a lucky accident. We think that the metropolitan team will control the course of the confrontation and will be closer to success.
Betting Tip - CSKA with a handicap (0) for 1.82
