LiontipsSpartak - CSKA Moscow: betting tip (cf 2.00) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Spartak remains in sixth position in the West and still has a good chance of finishing the regular season in the top three in the West. Alexey Zhamnov's team scored 62 points in 53 matches and were four points behind CSKA, but the hosts have one match left. The Red and white played great during January, but with the beginning of the last month of winter, they began to slow down. They won in Cherepovets (5:1), lost in Yaroslavl (1:3), and after returning to their home ice, they lost in the derby to Dynamo Moscow (2:3).
Andrey Mironov's squad was the first to miss in the match against the blue and white, but Daniil Orlov and Dmitry Vishnevsky quickly brought their team ahead. The hosts kept the score they needed until the second half of the second period, in which they made two mistakes in defense and found themselves in the role of catching up. Spartak threw the opponent in the end, but could not win back.
Adam Ruzicka leads the team's goalscoring list. He scored 40 points (16+24) in the goal+pass system.

Lucas Lockhart will not play in the next match.

Current form
CSKA has secured fifth place in its conference and is now gradually moving closer to the leaders of the West. The team led by Igor Nikitin has 66 points in its piggy bank after 54 games and is already only three points behind the leading Torpedo, while Nizhny Novgorod played one match more than the red and blue. Now the team from Moscow is in great shape and is on a streak of six wins in a row. In February, the Army team beat SKA (3:2, B) and Sochi (3:1) at home, and after a break they won against the Shanghai Dragons (1:0) on the road.
The match against the Chinese turned out to be very difficult for Nikita Nesterov's team. In the two opening segments, the Muscovites threw more, but could not hit the opponent's goalkeeper in any way. At the very beginning of the third 20 minutes, Pavel Karnaukhov finally opened the dragons goal and the guests managed to keep a positive result until the final siren.
Prokhor Poltapov remains CSKA's offensive leader. The forward scored 32 goals (15+17).

Dmitry Buchelnikov, Dmitry Gamzin, Danila Moiseev and Vladislav Provolnev will not participate in the derby.
Interesting betting trends

2.80Tip and bets
Spartak slowed down after a bright period in January and played quite poorly in attack in recent matches. CSKA got into optimal shape and practically stopped conceding. Igor Nikitin's team regularly achieves the desired result and goes on a series of six consecutive victories. Last month, the Army team outplayed their opponent at home and, in our opinion, they can repeat this achievement on Thursday.
Betting Tip - CSKA wins with an Asian handicap (0) on goals in 2.00
Betting on an individual total
Spartak managed to score only three goals in the last two games, and in general, the red and white have a rather weak effect on the other half of the ice in February. The army men practically stopped skipping and Igor Nikitin's plan was fully operational. In the last game, Spartak managed to hit the CSKA goal only once. We don't think the hosts will score more than two goals this time.
We're betting on Spartak's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.85
