CSKA vs. Amur: KHL Match Prediction
Amur will begin its away series in central Russia on October 23 with a game in Moscow. The Tigers have played four games in Khabarovsk, but were only able to earn two points and continue to be outside the top eight of the Eastern Conference. The Army Men have lost four games in a row, but have earned one point in each. The Muscovites have been unable to overcome a long-term crisis and regularly lose to weaker teams. Are Andrey Martemyanov charges capable of putting up a fight with the favorites? Or will the Red-Blues begin their winning streak? Find out from our forecast for the confrontation in the Russian capital
Command Analysis
CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Army Men have already dropped to sixth place in the Western Conference standings, continuing to demonstrate terrible defense and losing points. By the way, Ilya Vorobyov charges currently have only 21 points after 18 starts. The Red-Blues have lost four previous matches, with CSKA earning one point in each of them. The Muscovites ended a terribly started series of games on home ice with a defeat to Avtomobilist (3:4, SO), after which they lost in Minsk (4:5, OT) and St. Petersburg (4:5, OT). On October 20, the Army Club returned to home ice and lost to the guests from Sochi (3:4, SO), having recovered from a score of 1:3 during the final 20 minutes.
Nikita Nesterov team can do nothing about its horribly poor defensive play. The hosts have conceded 57 goals, surpassing only the weakest team in the West, Kunlun, in terms of reliability. The head coach and his staff need to find a way out of this situation. The signing of Ivan Prosvetov did not help solve the problems at the last line, so Dmitry Gamzin is effectively the main goalkeeper of the capital team. To be honest, he also often fails and reflects a modest 90.82% of shots this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, CSKA allows 31 shots on its goal
The army men are unable to block most shots and play mediocre defense.
- The Red-Blues have 18:20 in goals scored and conceded in the second period
Ilya Vorobyov charges play poorly in the second 20 minutes and almost always concede at least one goal.
Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur remains one of the biggest disappointments in the current KHL season. In 17 games, the Tigers have earned only 12 points and are in the penultimate line in the Eastern Conference table. Since October 13, Andrei Martemyanov charges have played in Khabarovsk and were able to score only two points in the first match against Togliatti Lada (2:0), losing to them a day later (3:5). In the remaining matches, the Cats lost to Severstal (1:2), and in the final match they lost a two-goal advantage in a confrontation with Moscow Spartak (4:5).
During the off-season, the Amur team signed a number of very expensive and famous forwards, but this did not bear fruit. The style of play of the visiting team head coach is not the most attacking, so the North Americans cannot open up on the ice and score very few. To date, Amur has only 34 accurate shots. Only Barys, which is the main outsider of the championship, has scored less.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kirill Slepets will not be able to help his teammates in the away series in central Russia.
Interesting trends for betting
- Amur wins 51.9% of faceoffs
The percentage of faceoffs won is one of the few stats that the visiting team can boast of.
- The Tigers are averaging 32 shots per game.
Andrey Martemyanov charges attack the opponents' goal quite a bit, but only convert 6.2% of their chances.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches between the teams, the first period was not productive
1.72Bet 2nd period: home team to score
CSKA scored on Amur in the second period in four of the previous five matches
1.35Tip and bets
We believe that CSKA losing streak will end in the game against Amur. Yes, the "army men" have lost their last four matches, but they clung to points in all of them. As for the guests, teams from the Far East usually have a hard time starting away tours after long breaks. Andrey Martemyanov charges got a lot of time to fly and rest, but the change in time zone will not have the best effect on the game of the already weak "tigers". The "red-blues" have beaten the "cats" for five games in a row. We do not think that the Far Easterners will be able to avoid a major defeat in Moscow this Wednesday. We suggest betting on the minus handicap of the hosts.
Forecast - CSKA win with Asian handicap (-1) on goals for 1.58
Total Bet
CSKA will definitely try to focus on defense, because it is precisely this that is currently ruining the hosts. Amur rarely scores more than one or two goals per game. Andrey Martemyanov forces the Tigers to act with a constant eye on their goal. We think that these two clubs will not score more than five goals. Let bet on the total under.
We take the total under 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.70
Bet on individual total
Amur average total away goals is 1.87 goals per game. Khabarovsk have scored at least three times only once in the last four matches in Moscow. At the end of September, the teams met each other on the ice of Platinum Arena. Then the "army men" confidently beat their opponent, not allowing Dmitry Gamzin to score (3:0). By the way, for the goalkeeper, this was one of two shutouts in the current regular season. We are betting on the individual total of the guests being less than two goals.
We take the individual total of “Amur” less than two goals for 1.50
