LiontipsAvangard - CSKA. Betting Tip (cf 1.68) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Avangard had a great regular season, as a result of which it was able to take the second place in the Eastern Conference table, lagging behind the leader in the person of Metallurg by only six points. The club was distinguished by a very systematically coordinated game, and in particular, of course, it is worth noting the incredible reliability in defense, on average, he missed only 2.33 shots per match, which is one of the best indicators in the league. Omsk was only ahead of CSKA and Lokomotiv in this parameter.
In the opening series of the Gagarin Cup, the club fought with Neftekhimik and eventually won a convincing victory with a score of 4:1. However, it is definitely impossible to call the 1/8 playoffs an easy walk. Neftekamsk, with their ornate hockey, created a lot of problems for the hawks and were one step away from victory several times, but Avangard repeatedly achieved success due to the most coordinated play both defensively and defensively. In the final fifth match, Boucher's wards were on the verge of defeat, but just eight seconds before the final whistle, they miraculously equalized the score, thereby moving the game into overtime, where they snatched Victoria (4:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ivan Igumnov will not play due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Avangard performs an average of 27 power moves per match.
- Omsk residents, according to statistics, win 64.8% of face-offs
Current form
CSKA experienced serious problems at the beginning of the regular season. Head coach Nikitin was not immediately able to adjust the club's game and lost a large number of points at the start of the season, but along the way the Army team corrected the mistakes and, due to the most reliable defense, consistently compensated for the lack of performance, which allowed them to rise to fourth place in the Western Conference table and confidently get a ticket to the Gagarin Cup.
Muscovites faced a very serious opponent in the face of SKA in the initial playoff series, and few could have expected such a confident performance from CSKA. The team did not invent a bicycle and played from its strong side, trying to contain the powerful pressure of St. Petersburg as much as possible, which immediately bore fruit. In addition to high-quality defense, the club also demonstrated a very effective offensive game, which is unusual for it. Sharp counterattacks and smart individual execution of the players eventually allowed Larionov's wards to be defeated with a score of 4:1. In particular, it is worth noting striker Guryanov, who scored as many as six goals and provided an assist. He is currently in first place in the Gagarin Cup goalscoring table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Moiseev and Provolnov continue to remain in the infirmary and will not be able to take part in the upcoming match.

Tip and bets
It may seem strange, but we believe that it will be easier for Avangard to play in the second round of the playoffs, since the team is much closer to the systematic hockey of CSKA. The Hawks also have a very high-quality defensive game, but they also have a high performance in attack, which together should allow the club to successfully start this series. Yes, the army team realized themselves in duels with SKA, however, it should be borne in mind that the defense of Omsk is many times more reliable, which means that you definitely should not expect a large number of abandoned pucks from the guests. Given the advantage of home walls, we are betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our betting tip is the victory of Avangard in the match at 1.68
We should hardly expect effective hockey in the upcoming match. Both teams are well aware of the importance of each match in the series, which means they will try to play as accurately as possible without making unnecessary actions. It will also have a bad effect on the number of goals scored and a very high-quality defensive game for both the hosts and the guests. The systematic hockey of the clubs does not allow them to please the fans with high activity in face-to-face meetings, so we are betting on a lower total.
Betting Tip - total less than 4.5 goals in 1.82
