Since returning to their ice, the Khabarovsk team has played two matches, both ending in defeat. First, they fell to Kunlun (2:3), followed by a loss against Dynamo Moscow with a score of 1:2. In both encounters, Martemyanov's squad had opportunities for a favorable outcome, but their opponents capitalized on crucial moments.

CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent Form
CSKA is currently among the top three teams in the Western Conference, having accumulated a total of 10 points. Overall, the current situation should satisfy the army club, but not entirely, as they are struggling with consistency in their results. Recently, they secured victories on home ice against Moscow Dynamo (3:1) and Vityaz (3:2), but in their first away game, they fell to Admiral in overtime with a score of 2:3.
Of course, the lengthy flight and the resulting acclimatization played a role, leaving the players unprepared for the challenges. As a result, the Moscow team allowed their opponents to outshoot them and didn't play as aggressively as in previous matches. However, Ilya Vorobyov's squad excels in power play situations, boasting the best percentage in the league at 40% efficiency. Nevertheless, CSKA needs to improve their performance at even strength, as they have found it difficult to score in recent games.
Injuries and Suspensions
In the upcoming match, Yarosh and Williams will be sidelined due to injuries.
Interesting Betting Trends
- CSKA has won 55.7% of their faceoffs.
The army team is strong at the dot, consistently outperforming their opponents in this area in nearly every match.
- On average, the army team registers 15 hits per game.
CSKA features several imposing defensemen who deliver hard checks and engage in active battles along the boards.

CSKA has already adapted to the Far East, having faced Admiral in their previous match. In the upcoming encounter, the army team is expected to step up their game following the recent defeat, creating many more scoring opportunities than Amur. The Khabarovsk team is struggling on all fronts, showing no signs of improvement in their performance. On the other hand, the Moscow squad is much more effective in converting chances into goals. Additionally, they have a strong track record, having won most of their previous matchups against the Tigers.
Prediction - CSKA to win with a handicap of (0) at 1.60
Betting on Individual Total
In their recent matches, Amur has struggled significantly with scoring, failing to breach their opponents' defense more than twice. The only exception was a single game against Barys, where the Khabarovsk team managed to net five goals. In all other instances, their attacking play has been notably weak. Additionally, in their last three encounters, CSKA has allowed fewer than three goals.
We're betting on Amur's individual total to be under 2.5 goals at 1.65.
Betting on Total Goals
Previous matchups between these clubs have not been high-scoring, typically finishing with fewer than six goals. CSKA has focused heavily on defense in their recent games, allowing very few goals, while the latest matches involving Amur have also tended to be low-scoring. Given this context, a bet on the total to be under makes sense.
We’re taking the total under 5.5 goals at 1.77.
