Spartak vs. Severstal: KHL Match Prediction

Current form

Spartak is still in second place in the Western Conference standings and has 35 points. The team, of course, can hardly improve its position, but it can definitely stay in its current position and bypass SKA, which is closely pursuing it. It should be noted that the red-whites were able to produce a long series of five victories, during which they dealt with CSKA on the road (2:1) and crushed Kunlun (5:1), but upon returning to their home arena they still lost to Lokomotiv with a score of 0:2. However, in that match with the Yaroslavl team, they looked more than worthy and created a large number of dangerous moments, but the puck refused to go into the opponent goal that day.

Muscovites have recently been distinguished by a decent defensive game and, as a rule, have managed with no more than one or two missed goals. At the same time, Alexey Zhamnov charges often find opportunities to score themselves and take advantage of their chances well. The team leading scorer is Pavel Poryadin, who has managed to earn 23 points in the goal+pass system and is currently one of the top three scorers in the league.

It is also worth mentioning that Spartak players are good in the minority and currently have 82.9% neutralization of the opponent majority. Spartak is most successful in the first game segment, during which they often gain a comfortable advantage, but the second twenty minutes are the most productive in their performance.
