LiontipsSKA - CSKA. Betting Tip (cf 2.55) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
It is safe to say that SKA got off to a good start in the Gagarin Cup, although it did not achieve the desired result. In the first match with CSKA, the club was the second number, but it handled the opponent's pressure with high quality, not allowing him to create too dangerous moments in his zone, and if the Muscovites broke into the zone, goalkeeper Pleshkov consistently saved, reflecting as many as 43 shots out of 46 for the entire match. St. Petersburg had a great opportunity to win a very important victory, but they did not hold the advantage and suffered an insulting defeat in overtime (2:3).
Many, including us, expected that Larionov's players would at least play as well in the return leg and be able to count on success again, but this did not happen. Blunders in defense and a far from successful performance by goalkeeper Pleshkov led to a defeat by as much as two goals (2:4). Everything could have ended in a rout, but Dishkovsky reduced the gap two minutes before the final whistle.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zaitsev, Larionov and Murphy continue to remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- SKA averaged 29 shots per match.
- On average, the St. Petersburg team conceded only 2.5 goals per match.
Current form
CSKA approached the series with SKA as the clear favorite and confirmed this in the first two matches held on the home court, giving the audience vivid and exciting duels.The first match turned out to be intense and dynamic. CSKA acted more energetically than the opponent, but for a long time could not crack the defense of the St. Petersburg goalkeeper, being on the verge of defeat. It was only in the final minutes of the meeting that the Moscow hockey players managed to even the score, and after a fierce struggle in overtime, they won 3-2.
In the second match, CSKA slightly changed tactics, focusing on reliability in defense and concentration in attack. Thanks to this approach, the team avoided unnecessary risks and quickly eliminated the opponent's advantage, and then went into the break itself, scoring three more goals. The final score is 4:2 in favor of CSKA. It is difficult to single out an individual player, as many participants made a significant contribution to the overall victory.
Disqualifications and injuries
Striker Moiseev and defender Provolnev will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, CSKA received only seven penalty minutes per match.

Tip and bets
SKA returned to its home arena, where it traditionally plays its best hockey. With the advantage of their home ground, the St. Petersburg team must play many times more reliably in defense, as well as realize their powerful attacking potential to the fullest. CSKA spent a huge amount of energy and emotions in the first two matches, so it is unlikely that they will be able to extend their winning streak in the opening away match. So we suggest that you take advantage of too high a coefficient and place a bet in favor of Larionov's wards.
Our betting tip is that SKA will win the match in 1.99
Also, we should definitely expect a lot of dropped goals in the upcoming match. SKA is distinguished by its effective hockey and will not sit on the defensive with the support of its native stands, but will try to run away from its strong side. In face-to-face meetings on the ice of St. Petersburg, the clubs delight the fans with an active game, so we are betting on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 4.5 goals in 1.95
