The KHL regular season is gaining momentum, the teams have already played several matches, but the most interesting is yet to come. In the next round, Avangard will host SKA. The game will take place on October 25 at 19:30 Moscow time at the Balashikha Arena. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this game for you.
"Avangard"
Several excellent signings in the offseason gave Avangard momentum and several victories at the start, but after that reliability and self-confidence began to disappear, defeats began. The team gave out a depressing away series, losing in all three matches, but they managed to rectify the situation at home. Omsk will now give out an excellent series of victories, which was interrupted only in the last meeting by a defeat from AK Bars 3:2.
SKA
Despite a good start to the season, there are some problems in the defense of St. Petersburg, which was evident in almost all past games. While the team is saved by the attack, but with such a skew in the game it will be difficult to claim the title. At home, SKA always looks very confident and practically does not lose, but on the road, Petersburgers do not act so confidently. In the last match, the Petersburgers were able to beat Kunlun RS with a score of 7:0.

Forecast
The favorite in this game looks like Avangard, which has already confirmed the seriousness of its ambitions with the game, and in recent meetings at home and does not know the bitterness of defeats at all. SKA is also in good shape now and looks very confident. I think we will have a bright game, and the victory will go to Omsk.
