Lada - Spartak: betting tip (cf 1.87) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

The season is coming to an end for Lada, the dreams of the playoffs are postponed at least for next year, the team still has to play a series of five final matches on its site. 45 points in 63 games is the current indicator of Avtozavodets, which is enough only for the penultimate tenth place in the Western Conference table, but it may also be questionable, because HC Sochi, three points behind, has three games left. In addition, Lada has the highest number of goals conceded in the league – 219.

In January, Tolyatti players were able to score only 10 points in 12 games (with a goal difference of 29-35), in February they scored seven points in nine games (with a difference of 24-33). Since mid-February, the team's game has stabilized somewhat: Lada has managed to win three of the last six matches (CSKA 2-1 and Ak Bars 5 twice).:4, B and 5:3), three matches were lost (to Ak Bars 2:4, Tractor 2:4 and Shanghai Dragons 1:2). In the confrontation with Spartak, Lada, which is inferior to it by 25 tournament points, looks like a clear outsider, but it is worth paying attention to the fact that the Volga team is quite capable of gathering and playing well even with top teams, as exemplified by the seasonal series against Ak Bars, in which Tolyatti managed to win three out of four matches, and on the road – two out of two.

Current form

Spartak's main current tournament goal after reaching the playoffs is to rise as high as possible from the current eighth position in the Western Conference. Its implementation seems realistic, based on the high density of results in the second half of the western eight: Spartak is one point behind SKA, Dynamo Moscow by two, and CSKA by four, with a game in reserve.

In 10 January matches, the team showed a good result: 15 points scored, 32 goals scored, 20 conceded. 10 February matches turned out to be less successful: 10 points, the goal difference was 29-29. On March 2, Spartak played a home game with Avangard, which occupies the second place in the East. The active start did not bring results to the hosts, and later the higher class of Omsk residents affected, who turned the game into a convenient channel for themselves. Spartak players could only respond to a double by Nikolai Prokhorkin, goals by Konstantin Okulov and Ivan Igumnov with a puck by Daniil Gutik, which was abandoned in the majority at the very end of the match. The result is 1-4 in favor of Avangard. Alexander Barkov, acting head coach of Spartak, shared his vision of the game in the post-match press conference: We lost the whole fight, conceded the desire. It's hard for us to play matches where we need to show character and be patient, but we have time, we are working on it.
