LiontipsCSKA - Severstal: betting tip (cf 1.65) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
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.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dmitry Buchelnikov, Danila Moiseev and Vladislav Provolnev will miss the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, CSKA makes 27 shots on target
- The army team performs 15 power moves per game.
Current form
Severstal continues to be the leader of its conference, but so far it cannot break away from its competitors. Cherepovets scored 66 points in 49 matches and are just one point ahead of Lokomotiv and Dynamo Minsk, while the Bison have one game left. Lynxes haven't been playing very consistently lately, but they regularly manage to achieve the desired result. In the last six matches, they have lost only once in regular time. In the current away series of games, Andrey Kozyrev's team lost to Dynamo in Moscow (4:5, B), but won a day later in Sochi (5:4, OT).
The club from the Vologda region dominated the game against the Leopards and scored twice by the eighth minute. Mikhail Ilyin and David Dumbadze scored goals in the first period, but by the end of the second period, the visitors were losing by two goals. The Cherepovets team ran ahead, and Ilya Kvochko and Ivan Podshivalov equalized before the middle of the third segment. Mikhail Ilyin scored the winning goal for the Steelers in overtime.
Ruslan Abrosimov scored 41 points (21+20) this season. He continues to be the best striker in the visiting squad.
Disqualifications and injuries
Danil Veryaev, Artyom Zhukov and Alexander Samoilov will not come with the team to Moscow.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, residents of Cherepovets carry out six power techniques per match.
- Lynxes average 31 shots on target per game.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals
In the last four games with CSKA, the first period was grassroots
1.72Bet period 2: CSKA will not lose
The Muscovites have not lost in the second period for ten consecutive games.
1.33Tip and bets
CSKA has found its game together with Igor Nikitin and is unlikely to lose as much as it did at the beginning of the season. The team from Moscow plays great defense and makes almost no mistakes on their side of the ice. Severstal has a very strong offensive line, but the main goalkeeper is injured. We think that the army team will force the opponent to play their hockey and win a labor victory in regular time.
Betting Tip - CSKA wins with an Asian handicap (0) on goals in 1.65
Bet on the total
The hosts have become one of the best defensive teams in the league and have conceded only 16 goals in the last ten matches. Severstal was left without a main goalkeeper, but the Steelworkers are unlikely to fail defensively in a game against such a CSKA. Meetings with Muscovites have rarely been productive lately. We don't think there will be more than five accurate shots in this match.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.58
