Command Analysis
Current form
The petrochemical company retains the fifth place in the conference, but at the moment it cannot feel comfortable. Igor Grishin's team has 59 points in its piggy bank after 53 matches and continues to fight for the fifth position in the East with Salavat Yulaev. The wolves spent a lot of January very hard, but at the end of the month they started to slow down. They lost in Kazan (1:6) and Ufa (1:2), but before the break they were able to hold on to the most important victory in Novosibirsk (5:2).
In the game against Siberia, the then guests conceded first, but even before the break, German Tochilkin scored in the minority. In the second 20 minutes, Nizhnekamsk continued to put pressure on the opponent's goal, and Nikita Parugaev, Bulat Shafigullin, Egor Mityakin and Damir Zhafyarov made the score devastating. In the final third, Neftekhimik conceded one goal and calmly brought matters to an important victory.
Andrey Belozerov remains the leader of his team in attack. He scored 43 points (24+19) in the goal+pass system.

Current form
SKA remains in eighth position in the West and can only claim seventh place in the West so far. Igor Larionov's team has scored only 58 points in 52 starts and now they have the opportunity to match Dynamo Moscow, which scored two more points, but has already played 53 matches. The army team had a very weak first month of the new year and in the second half of it they gave out a series of seven defeats in a row. In February, the Red and blue were able to beat Dinamo Minsk (4:3, B) and Severstal (3:1) on the road.
Sergey Sapego scored the first goal in Cherepovets, which allowed SKA to hold the advantage for a long time. The visitors conceded in the second period, but came out charged in the third period. Matvey Polyakov and Valentin Zykov scored at the very end of regular time and this allowed the team from St. Petersburg to take the important two points.
Marat Khairullin is the top scorer of his team. He scored 33 goals (12+21) this season.

1.42Tip and bets
The petrochemist managed to leave for a break in a good mood, but recently it has been very difficult for Igor Grishin's team, especially in games against the leaders of the championship. SKA finally broke its streak of setbacks and beat two of the top three teams in the West. In the fall, Igor Larionov's team lost to wolves at home, but now they are able to take revenge.
Prediction - SKA wins with an Asian handicap (0) on goals in 1.97
Betting on an individual total
The defense of the Petrochemical industry is difficult to call reliable, especially when it comes to matches in Nizhnekamsk. Wolves are the worst at defending their home from the clubs of the East, and now an extremely motivated opponent is coming to visit them. SKA managed to create a lot in recent matches and the guests made great use of their chances. We think that the Army team will be able to score at least three goals.
We're betting on an individual SKA total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.92
