LiontipsSochi - Spartak: betting tip (cf 1.60) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
After a sensational victory over Salavat Yulaev (6:3), the Leopards could not cope with Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo on their ice, Andrei Mironov's wards suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 0:6, conceding three goals each in the first and third periods. Sochi has only four points and a well-deserved last place in the Western Conference. This season, the team will not be able to compete for the cup eight, and by the standards of the KHL, the Southerners have a very weak squad. Strengthening by striker Nikita Gusev may improve the situation a bit.
It is unclear what is happening to Spartacus. Alexey Zhamnov's team suffered six defeats in a row and dropped to sixth place in the West. Severstal and Dynamo are breathing down their backs, and another loss of points, of which there are only 12, could push the team beyond the cup eight. In the last confrontation, the red-whites hosted a Barys in Moscow. The main time of the match and overtime did not reveal the winner (3:3), and the Kazakhs were more accurate in the shootout. Overall, the team lacks implementation, goals are difficult to come by.

Tip and bets
The factor of someone else's ice is not an obstacle for Zhamnov's wards. The Red-whites are in crisis, and six defeats in a row should boost morale in the team. The outcome of today's match may also be influenced by a more powerful squad of Muscovites and the low performance of Sochi. We should also note the face-to-face confrontations, which are dominated by Spartak - eight wins in the last ten games, in which 30 goals were scored against the club from Sochi. We believe that the guests will benefit from the experience and we will bet on their victory.
The betting tip is a victory for Spartak with a coefficient of 1.60
