Amur vs. SKA: KHL Match Forecast
On November 30, we are expecting an interesting match in Khabarovsk, where Amur will take on SKA from St. Petersburg. The army men from the banks of the Neva have already lost points in the Far East and will now be as focused as possible and will try not to leave the championship outsider a single chance. Moreover, the previous four matches between the clubs ended with a confident victory for the guests. What bet should you make this time? You will find out from our forecast
Command Analysis
Amur Khabarovsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Amur is still in the last place of both the Eastern Conference and the overall table. It will be very difficult for Khabarovsk to improve their position, since even now they are six points behind Barys. Note that not long ago they managed to break a terrible series of 14 defeats in a row. After unsuccessful matches against SKA (3:6) and Spartak (3:7), they beat Astana 3:0 on the road, but lost to Admiral again in the Far East derby - 3:5. At the same time, in many matches the club concedes at least three or four goals and may soon become the worst in this indicator, overtaking Kunlun.
It is far from certain that the Tigers will show their best side in their home arena in the upcoming home series, since up to this point they have pleased fans with only two victories, while they have won four victories on the road. Viktor Kostyuchenko team scores most of their goals in the third period, and they often play very mediocrely in the second twenty minutes, with 12:39 in goals scored and goals conceded.
But recently Alex Galchenyuk has really "turned on", he managed to score 14 points in the goal+pass system and became the main scorer in the team. This is not a coincidence, because the forward began to receive much more playing time than under Martemyanov, and moved into the first three of the attack.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bobkov, Brosseau and Shevchenko will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Amur averages 34 shots on target when playing at home
At home, Khabarovsk residents are more active in the opponent zone
- Amur has 12.4% of the majority realization
Khabarovsk residents have been making little use of their numerical advantage this season
SKA St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
SKA is in fourth place in the Western Conference and has 40 points. The team cannot be completely satisfied with its current position, since, with such a strong roster, it initially planned to fight for the first line. Recently, it has been very difficult to get points, and the club has not been stable. It seemed that after the away defeat to Ak Bars (2:3 OT), the army team came to its senses, because they won two victories on home ice against the same Amur and Torpedo (4:1), but in the first match of the away series, they lost to Admiral with a score of 2:3 in a shootout.
In the confrontation with the Vladivostok team, Roman Rotenberg team had huge problems with discipline and violated the rules as many as six times, for which the opponent punished him with two abandoned pucks. The Petersburgers themselves also took advantage of their only attempt, but in equal compositions they created very few dangerous moments at the opponent goal and lost to the opponent even in shots - 34:43.
In general, SKA has often had problems with scoring in previous matches. Thus, in eight out of ten matches it was left with fewer than three goals scored. The team also remains one of the worst in the league in playing in 5x4 and 5x3 formats and currently has a 16.5% conversion rate on extra man power. It should be emphasized that it also does not perform well on the road and has only won seven victories in regulation time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bardakov and Zemchenok will not play in the upcoming match due to injury

The team is one of the most shooting in the league at the moment.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In three out of five matches involving SKA, the first period was unscoring
1.82Bet 3rd period: Khabarovsk will score
In the previous five meetings, the hosts scored in the third period
1.77Tip and bets
SKA is, of course, the favorite of this matchup, but it doesn't make much sense to bet on its success at such odds. The army men perform inconsistently on the road and lose a lot of points. In addition, they rarely win in regular time. Amur, with the support of its stands, can certainly put up a fight, especially since the visitors have already stumbled in Vladivostok. Khabarovsk can lose within 60 minutes, but they are unlikely to do so by more than one goal.
Forecast - Amur win with Asian handicap (+1.5) on goals for 1.72
Bet on individual total
Amur has become much more interesting in attack than before and has begun to use its moments better. In addition, Kostyuchenok has shuffled the attacking trios, and in the current combinations they constantly find a way to deal with the opponent defense. In the five previous matches, the Khabarovsk team scored no less than three goals, and in the last match against SKA, the Tigers scored three times.
We bet on the individual total of "Amur" more than two goals with a coefficient of 1.82
Total Bet
The last matches involving Amur were spectacular and usually ended with no less than six goals scored. Khabarovsk will act on opposite courses and try to put on a show for the home stands. SKA, in turn, remains the most productive club in the league today, so it is also unlikely to remain with a minimum number of goals. In general, we expect to see no less than six goals.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 2.00
