Shanghai Dragons - Spartak: betting tip (CF 2.15) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

The Shanghai Dragons are outside the playoff zone and currently occupy the ninth place in the Western Conference, although, it would seem, they were in the top six not so long ago. The team has slowed down significantly and has been showing rather mediocre results for two months, often staying on a series of failures. In the previous seven out of eight meetings, the club also lost. Before the break, the Chinese managed to deal with Salavat Yulaev (3:2), after which they were defeated by Torpedo (3:4B), and after returning from the break they lost to SKA (1:4) and did not even cope with Lada (2:4).

At the same time, in many cases, Gerard Galland's team had difficulty creating and implementing chances, which is why they could not send more than one or two goals into the opponents' net. It is also worth mentioning that Dragons often fail the third game segment and have a 32:43 ratio in terms of goals scored and conceded. Nevertheless, the situation can still be fixed, because the team is literally five points away from the top eight, and it has three more matches in front of the same CSKA.

Disqualifications and injuries

Jake Bischoff and Jeremy Grolo will not play in the upcoming match.

Current form

Spartak is in the seventh position of the Western Conference and can feel more or less comfortable. However, the team is also not impressive in its stability this season and usually cannot win more than one or two victories in a row. Not so long ago, namely in the period from the end of November to the beginning of December, the club had its best winning streak of four matches, but then it was replaced by three defeats in a row. Even before the break, Muscovites lost to Barys (3:4 OT) and Avangard (5:7), and after the break an unsuccessful match against Dynamo Moscow (0:1) followed.

Despite this, Alexey Zhamnov's team pulled themselves together and had a great final meeting against SKA on the road, in which they celebrated success with a score of 2:1 and for the first time in a long time showed such a reliable defensive game, allowing only 22 shots to hit their own goal. Usually, Spartak players concede at least three or four goals on foreign grounds, and today they remain one of the most skipping clubs in the West.

Disqualifications and injuries

Dmitry Vishnevsky, Nikita Korostelev and Pavel Poryadin will not be able to participate in the upcoming match.
