LiontipsCSKA - Sochi: betting tip (cf 1.65) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
CSKA broke out on the fifth line in the conference and became the leader of the pursuit group of the best teams in the West. Igor Nikitin's team has scored 62 points in 52 games and is only two points ahead of Spartak so far, while the red-whites have two meetings in reserve. The hosts are in great shape and are on a four-game winning streak. In the last home series, they beat Barys (1-0) and Severstal (4:2), and on the road they coped with Dynamo (4:2) from Moscow (4:2). In the first game of the new month, Nikita Nesterov's team was stronger than SKA (3:2, B).
In the game against St. Petersburg, the Muscovites conceded first, but Denis Guryanov equalized before the first break. In the second 20 minutes, Nikita Nesterov, the captain of the hosts, led his squad ahead, but the opponent quickly recovered. Already in the shootout, Vitaly Abramov scored the winning shot, and Dmitry Gamzin was flawless at the last line of defense.
Prokhor Poltapov remains the team's top scorer. The forward scored 31 points (15+16) 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
Sochi residents remain in the penultimate position in the West and are unlikely to be able to rise higher. The team led by Dmitry Mikhailov has 37 points in its piggy bank after 50 starts and so far is only one point ahead of Lada. Tolyatti players played two more matches, so the guests feel quite comfortable. The Southerners had a very bad first month of the new year and scored only four victories in January. At the start of the current away series, they exchanged wins with the Shanghai Dragons (2:1 and 2:5), and then lost dry in Yaroslavl (0:3).
The Leopards held their shot well during the meeting on the ice of Arena 2000 and were able not to miss in the opening segment. In the second 20 minutes, Sochi's defense finally crumbled and the Southerners conceded three times within 14 minutes. They threw the opponent in the final third of the confrontation, but they could not break through Daniil Isaev.
Max Ellis scored 25 points (14+11) this season. He continues to be the best striker in the visiting squad.
Disqualifications and injuries
Denis Vengryzhanovsky, Anton Malyshev and Ilya Samsonov will not come with the team to Moscow.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Southerners perform 24 power moves per match.
- The Leopards average 25 shots on target per game.

1.72Tip and bets
CSKA is in great shape and is on a four-game winning streak. Igor Nikitin's team expects to gain a foothold in the top five in the West, but in order to do this, in no case should you lose points in matches against league outsiders. Sochi no longer claims anything and often gives up losing. We think that Muscovites will get two points without any problems.
Prediction - CSKA wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.65
Bet on the total
CSKA plays defensively and is quite rarely distinguished by a large number of accurate shots. Sochi are poor offensively against teams from the top five and score mostly against clubs of their own level. We believe that the Muscovites will play reliably in defense, but they will not be able to throw too many pucks into the opponent's goal. Let's bet on a total of fewer goals.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.90
