CSKA - Severstal: betting tip (cf 1.65) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

CSKA has settled into the sixth position in the West and is trying to consolidate its role as the main pursuer of the conference leaders. Igor Nikitin's team has come close to Dynamo Moscow and has already bypassed SKA. The Army team scored 56 points in 49 starts and are only two points behind the blue and white. The hosts had a great ending and won a lot, but the second half of January began for them with defeats from Avangard (1:2) and Barys (1:3). After a short pause, the red and blue took revenge on Astana residents in the home arena (1-0).

The capital's team looked pretty bleak at the start of the match against Barys in Moscow and threw only four times in the first period. In the second 20 minutes, CSKA leveled the game, and in the third segment it looked a little better than the opponent. A minute and a half before the end of regular time, Nikita Okhotyuk made an accurate shot at the Bars goal and brought victory to his team.

Prokhor Poltapov remains the team's top scorer. The forward scored 30 points (15+15) in the goal+pass system.
