Command Analysis
SKA St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
The start of the regular championship for St. Petersburg SKA was not the most successful. In the first match, the team met with Metallurg and had every chance of success, but due to a weak defense, they had to suffer an unfortunate defeat in overtime with a score of 4:5. Goalkeeper Serebryakov was replaced at the beginning of the second period, but Pleshkov also did not play his best. Then the "army men" went to visit Lada, where there were also problems in defense, but this time Pleshkov rehabilitated himself and had a great match, reflecting 31 shots, which ultimately served as a victory (3:1).
The away series for SKA did not end there, the club went to Yaroslavl, where it played Lokomotiv and was unable to realize its stellar attack at all. Rotenberg's team looked pale and was unable to score a single goal, losing dry (0:2).
Interesting trends for betting
- SKA averages 1.33 goals per game
It would seem that SKA with such a roster is obliged to tear apart the opponents’ defense, but so far this has not happened.
- SKA's opponents block 15 shots on average
The Petersburgers make few shots, and most importantly, most of them hit the defenders, which is why their scoring suffers.
Injuries and disqualifications
Glotov (injury).

Traktor
Russian FederationCurrent form
Traktor made some minor changes to the roster in the off-season and tried to strengthen as much as possible, and also replaced the head coach with Benoit Groux. The team looked good during the pre-season, but in the regular season there are difficulties with scoring points. In the first match, the Chelyabinsk team met with Avtomobilist and gave a worthy fightback on the road, but were unable to realize most of their chances, losing with a score of 2:3. It is worth noting that Traktor made 48 shots on target.
On the road at Barys, the attacking line was still able to realize its potential, taking advantage of the weak defensive line of the opponent and defeating them with a difference of three goals (4:1). Then the "bears" had to play with a much more serious competitor in the person of Salavat Yulaev and again a huge number of shots on goal did not bring the desired result, they had to suffer a defeat in a series of shootouts (1:2).
Interesting trends for betting
- Traktor averages 39 shots per game
Traktor is currently the most attacking team in the league and takes the most shots on the opponent's goal.
- Traktor receives an average of 4.6 minutes of penalty time
Traktor plays very careful hockey, rarely breaking the rules, which is why it almost always remains at full strength.
Estimated composition
Fucale, Mylnikov, Dronov, Nikolaev, Kämpfer, Blazhievsky, Ibragimov, Karpukhin, Sikura, Sharov, Rykmanov, Shabanov, Kotlyarevsky, Tkachev, Kravtsov, Shvarev, Kadeikin, Der-Arguchintsev, Svetlakov, Tertyshny.

In four out of five head-to-head matches, SKA opened the scoring
1.60Tip and bets
Oddly enough, bookmakers in the upcoming match single out SKA as a clear favorite and give Traktor a huge coefficient for a victory, which is definitely worth taking advantage of. At the moment, the St. Petersburg team is still far from its optimal form, which is why they are not showing the best game in attack, which means that it will not be easy to beat the attacking Chelyabinsk team. Indeed, the "bears" remain the team with the largest number of shots, which will definitely play a role in this meeting. We believe that this time Traktor's puck will finally reach the target, and we are betting in its favor.
Our prediction is a Traktor victory with a handicap of (0) for 3.00
Bet on total
The upcoming match is expected to be very productive, as Traktor will once again try to realize its attacking potential and force SKA to play on the opposite course, due to which we can expect a large number of goals scored.
Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on the outcome of the first period
In the first period, Traktor does not show its best game, but reveals its full potential closer to the equator of the match, which SKA will try to take advantage of and, due to the home advantage, may well win in the starting period.
Prediction: SKA wins in the first period for 2.19
