CSKA vs SKA is the central match of the next game day in the Kontinental Hockey League. Our portal gives a forecast for the meeting.
CSKA Moscow
The Moscow Army team had an extremely unsuccessful final period of the previous regular season match with Kunlun Red Star. After two game segments, Sergey Fedorov's team won with a score of 4:1, and it seemed that the opponent had no chance. However, the hosts got away from defeat in regular time, and then snatched victory in a shootout. CSKA, in turn, suffered a second defeat from Kunlun in 10 days. Now the Moscow club ranks seventh in the Western Conference table — after 12 matches, it scored 14 points. At the same time, CSKA has already conceded 36 goals (only Dynamo Minsk and Kunlun are doing worse in the conference).
SKA
But the St. Petersburg army men are doing well. In 13 matches, they scored 25 points and confidently leads the entire league. Roman Rotenberg's team played the previous match in the regular season in Minsk and beat the opponent with a score of 5:1. The opponent was not helped by the tangible support of the fans — more than 15 thousand fans were in the stands. SKA leads the conference in the number of goals scored (48), and in the number of goals conceded (18), the team is on the second line. Dynamo is the only club to beat SKA this season. The fate of that meeting was decided by a series of shootouts.
Statistics and figures:
- CSKA is a small favorite of the match according to bookmakers;
- Previously, the teams met each other 97 times: SKA won 50 victories, CSKA — 47;
- The last game with the participation of rivals ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of CSKA.
Forecast
In the last three of the five matches with the participation of teams, the "total more" bet takes place. Let's take a chance and bet that both teams will figure out more than four goals for two, especially since CSKA's defense doesn't look the best right now.
