LiontipsSKA - Lada: betting tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
SKA temporarily dropped to seventh place in the conference, but in terms of lost points, the Army team should already be at least in the top four in the West. Igor Larionov's team earned 47 points in 39 matches and intend to continue fighting for the best seeding in the playoffs. The Red and Blue had a strong finish last year and suffered only three defeats in December. Before returning home, they celebrated their success in Minsk (4:1), unexpectedly lost in Sochi (4:8), and then beat the Shanghai Dragons in St. Petersburg (3:2).
In the game against the Chinese, St. Petersburg went ahead from the first minute and Joseph Blandisi quickly opened the scoring in the match. After conceding a goal, SKA continued to put pressure on the opponent's goal and Nikita Dishkovsky brought his partners forward again. The Shanghai team was able to even the score and for a long time it remained equal. With 19 seconds left in regular time, Egor Savikov finally brought his team victory.
Sergey Plotnikov became the new leader of the attack of the hosts. The veteran has scored 25 goals (9+16) this season.

Trevor Murphy, Matvey Korotky and Nikita Zaitsev will not be able to participate in the upcoming match.

Current form
Lada remains in last place in the West and in the KHL as a whole, and is gradually starting to lag behind even Sochi. The team led by Pavel Desyatkov has only 26 scoring points in its piggy bank after 42 matches and is the most missed team in the league. Since the end of November, the Tolyatti team has won only one victory and is now heading for a series of six defeats in a row. At the start of the away series, they lost in Omsk (3:4, B) and Yekaterinburg (3:4), and in January they lost to Severstal (2:4) and Shanghai Dragons (2:3).
Already in the first period of the meeting against the Dragons, the guests conceded two goals and went into the break in a terrible mood. Ivan Savchik scored one goal in the second 20 minutes, and Evgeny Groshev equalized the score at the start of the third leg of the match. The Owls had a good chance of success, but they made a mistake in defense again in the middle of the period and could not win back.
Riley Savchuk scored 25 points (14+11) in the goal+pass system. He is the main reliable target in the attack.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the guest leaders will play in St. Petersburg.
Interesting betting trends
- Lada wins 45.3% of face-offs on average.
- Tolyatti players perform about 16 power moves per match
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 goals
In the last three games with the participation of the Volga Region, the first period was productive.
1.82Betting period 1: the victory of the hosts
SKA has won in the first period in the last four matches.
1.85Tip and bets
SKA got a lot of time to rest and can now start a new winning streak. Igor Larionov's team found their game at the end of the year and rarely lost. Lada, on the other hand, looks weak and is the most skipping team in the league. We do not think that the Army team will have any problems in the duel against Tolyatti.
Prediction - SKA wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Owls miss more than others and at the moment the situation is not getting better. The red and blue team consistently perform well on the other half of the ice and must score at least four goals in their home arena. All the leaders of the army's attack are in formation, so we believe in at least four accurate shots from Sergey Plotnikov's team.
We're betting on an individual SKA total of more than 3.5 pucks with a kf of 1.85
