The seven goals against Metallurg were an excellent confirmation that CSKA has made a serious move. The Muscovites not only beat the leader of the Eastern Conference, but also did it after an unsuccessful start to the meeting. Avangard's situation is completely different. Omsk returned home after two overtime defeats, both of which they lost to opponents from the bottom of the table. The performance is particularly worrying, which has noticeably decreased compared to the start of the championship. In our betting tip, we will analyze what can help the hosts stop the army men, and determine the rate
Command Analysis
Avangard Omsk
Avangard ended a long away series with two unpleasant defeats. First, Omsk lost to Lada (2:3 OT), and then could not cope with Sochi (1:2 OT). At the same time, Guy Boucher's team confidently beat Ak Bars 4-0 in Kazan, so it's too early to talk about a full game crisis. The main problem lies in the implementation, because even a large number of created moments does not always bring the desired result.
Omsk scored 44 shots on target in Sochi, but only Andrew Poturalski managed to score. The American realized the majority at the beginning of the third period and equalized the score. It came to extra time, where the removal of Semyon Chistyakov proved decisive. Denis Vengryzhanovsky brought victory to the Southerners. Now Avangard is returning home, where it will try to break a series of two defeats.
CSKA Moscow
The Army team gradually turned into one of the most stable teams in the Western Conference. Four consecutive victories allowed the Muscovites to strengthen their leadership, and twice in this segment they beat Traktor. In the last meeting with Chelyabinsk, we had to play overtime, where Robert Hamilton brought success with a score of 3:2. But in Magnitogorsk, CSKA's attack showed a completely different level of performance.
The match with Metallurg started for the guests with two missed goals in the second period. However, by the next break, the Muscovites were leading 4-3, and in the final twenty minutes they finally defeated the opponent. Maxim Sorkin and Denis Guryanov scored doubles, Pavel Karnaukhov, Nikolai Kovalenko and Marat Khairullin also scored. The final 7-3 victory was one of the highlights for CSKA this season.
It is quite unusual that the Vanguard is increasingly experiencing difficulties with effectiveness with a large number of attacks. Omsk players throw a lot, but they don't always find the opportunity to complete their combinations efficiently. Such problems can be especially unpleasant against CSKA. Muscovites are now able not only to defend themselves reliably, but also to quickly punish rivals for mistakes. At the same time, the last meeting with Metallurg showed that even two missed goals do not prevent the army team from maintaining confidence and completely changing the course of the match.
Returning to Omsk should help the hosts, who will certainly try to act much more actively than in previous meetings. However, a high pace will require a lot of effort, and CSKA is now making much better use of its capabilities. We fully assume that the game will turn out to be stubborn and the winner will not be able to be determined in 60 minutes. Nevertheless, the current form of the guests allows us to give them preference. We expect that the Army team will be able to continue their winning streak.
Our betting tip is for CSKA to win the match in 1.68
