LiontipsShanghai Dragons - Spartak: betting tip (cf 2.05) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Shanghai Dragons had a great start to the season and were among the leaders of the conference. Right now, Gerard Galland's team is in ninth position in the West and can only really claim eighth place so far. The Chinese have scored 36 points in 36 starts and are five points behind the leading CSKA, with two games left. The hosts completely failed the end of autumn and won only one victory in the last nine matches. After the break, they lost on the road to SKA (1:4), and lost at home to Lada (2:4) and Spartak (1:3).
In the game against the red and white, Fu Shuai's squad was moving away a lot from the first minutes, but they were able to score first. Nikita Paragaev scored in the middle of the first period, but this goal was the last for the Dragons. In the second 20 minutes, the Dragons failed several times in defense and did not realize any of their chances. In the third period, they played in the majority twice, but could not even the score.
Nick Merkley remains the top scorer in the Dragons camp. The Canadian scored 29 goals (15+14) this season.

Current form
Spartak is in sixth place in the West and is unlikely to be able to rise higher or at least hold on to its current position. The team led by Alexei Zhamnov scored 44 points in 38 attempts and is just one point ahead of SKA, which has two games left. Muscovites are experiencing personnel difficulties, primarily related to injuries to the club's leading forwards. The visitors do not please their fans with stability, but after three defeats in a row, they managed to win two matches. After the break, they lost in the Dynamo derby (0:1), but then they turned out to be stronger than SKA (2:1) and Shanghai Dragons (3:1).
In St. Petersburg, Andrei Mironov's team tried to act as the first number, but missed the first and lost the opening segment of the match. After the conversation in the locker room, the guests came out completely different and started quickly churning out goals. Adam Ruziczka, Ivan Ryabov and Joey Keen scored goals in the second period, after which the red and white played solid defense and brought the meeting to victory.
Adam Ruzicka broke away from his pursuers in the race of the team's top scorers. The Slovak scored 33 points (14+19) in the goal+pass system.

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

Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals
In the last four games with the Chinese, the first period turned out to be grassroots
1.92Betting 1st period: the victory of the hosts
Shanghai won in the first period in two out of three games.
2.95Tip and bets
Spartak managed to make a strong run in the second period, but on the whole, the Chinese were no worse than their opponents in the last game. Gerard Galland's team is in a very difficult situation and they definitely need to win. The Red and White still have big personnel problems, so we think the Shanghai Dragons will be able to take revenge for their recent defeat.
Prediction - Shanghai Dragons win with a handicap (0) in 2.05
Betting on an individual total
Spartak is playing rather poorly defensively this season and is missing almost the most in the West. Shanghai scored 42 shots on Alexander Georgiev's goal in the last game, but they almost missed the cut. We believe that this time the dragons will be more successful and will hit the red-white domain at least three times.
We're betting on the Shanghai Dragons' individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.78
