Spartak vs. Vityaz: KHL Match Prediction
On November 23, the KHL championship will feature a match between Spartak and Vityaz. The red-and-whites are in excellent shape and are winning match after match, while the Bogatyrs, on the contrary, cannot win more than one victory in a row. In addition, many previous matches between the clubs ended in favor of the home team, although the visitors often gave a worthy fightback. Will the Muscovites be able to succeed this time? What bet should you place on this event? You will find out from the forecast
Command Analysis
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Spartak is four points ahead of its closest rival and occupies the second line in the Western Conference table, so it can feel extremely comfortable at the moment. The team has suffered only one defeat in the last nine matches, against Lokomotiv (0:2), but after that it again showed a series of three victories. Moreover, all victories were achieved very confidently. Thus, the red-whites dealt with Severstal (4:1), Admiral (6:1) at home, and also beat Amur with a score of 7:3.
It is noteworthy that in three games they scored a total of 17 goals, which is a truly fantastic result. Thanks to this, Pavel Poryadin ended up in third place in the list of the league best scorers and has already managed to earn 26 points in the goal+pass system. We emphasize that despite the classy performance, the team also plays very well in defense and in many cases ends up with a minimum number of goals conceded.
Spartak players are most powerful in the opening twenty minutes, during which they immediately try to gain a comfortable advantage, so they have a ratio of 27:14 in goals scored and goals conceded. Oddly enough, the implementation of the majority of Alexey Zhamnov team is still not at the highest level, and today it still has less than 20%.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mironov will not take part in the upcoming fight due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Spartak averages no less than 31 shots on target
The red and whites rush into attack at every opportunity and try to make as many shots as possible at the opponent goal
- The club statistically receives 6.04 minutes of penalty time per match
Zhamnov team is distinguished by good discipline and is rarely sent off more than three times per match
Vityaz
Russian FederationCurrent form
Vityaz is in ninth place in the Western Conference and is currently outside the playoff zone. It will be difficult for the team to compete with its competitors for a spot in the top eight if it continues to show such unstable results. Let us recall that since the middle of last month, the team has not been able to win more than one game in a row. Lately, all it has done is alternate successful matches with defeats. Thus, on home ice, the Balashikha team dealt with Severstal (2:0), lost to Dynamo Minsk (4:6), then unexpectedly routed the same Cherepovets team on the road with a score of 7:1 and again lost to Lokomotiv (1:2 OT).
By the way, in the last confrontation with the Yaroslavl team, the "bogatyrs" were obliged to score two points, because they had a minimal advantage until the last minute of the third period, but in the 5x6 format they still could not hold out. However, we still need to give credit to the goalkeeper, Maxim Dorozhko, who showed his best side and parried a total of 48 shots. If not for his actions, the team would have certainly lost in regular time.
Speaking about the overall performance of Pavel Desyatkov team on the road, it looks rather weak. Thus, in 14 games the club managed to win only five times within 60 minutes. It is also worth mentioning that the team is performing mediocrely in the third game segment, in which it currently has 19:29 in goals scored and goals conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vaschenko will not be able to take part in the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vityaz wins 47.1% of faceoffs
The "Bogatyrs" pay little attention to such an important component and allow the opponent to win most of the face-offs
- Vityaz has 80.2% neutralization of the opponent majority
Desyatkov team remains one of the worst in the league in this indicator
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In three out of four matches involving the home team, the first period was unscoring
1.82Bet 2nd period: guests will score
In four out of five matches against Spartak, the "bogatyrs" scored in the second period
1.85Tip and bets
In our opinion, Vityaz can cause difficulties for Spartak in this confrontation. The Bogatyrs are very unyielding in their game and are not used to losing by a difference of several goals, even on the road. Of course, the Muscovites are currently in brilliant form, but in face-to-face meetings with their opponents, they often have problems and either bring the matter to overtime or win by one goal. Moreover, Pavel Desyatkov team is playing the current away series very successfully and literally the day before was able to score one point against the leader, Lokomotiv.
Forecast - Vityaz win with Asian handicap (+1.5) on goals with odds of 1.85
Bet on individual total
In recent matches, Vityaz has managed with a minimum number of goals conceded. In general, the team concedes about two or three goals on the road. Even in the last match against the Bogatyrs, which took place at the end of the previous month, Spartak was able to score only three times within 60 minutes. We think that if Maksim Dorozhko manages to play approximately the same as in the last meeting, the guests will again be left with a minimum number of goals conceded.
We bet on Spartak individual total under 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.74
Total Bet
Many previous matches between the clubs were not particularly productive and rarely ended with more than five goals scored. Spartak has rebuilt its game and has begun to concede much less than before, and Vityaz has also played well in defense lately. It is quite possible that in the upcoming confrontation we will see a rather closed hockey with a small number of dangerous moments.
We take the total under 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.80
