Spartak vs. Captain: MHL Match Prediction
Spartak will host Stupinsky Kapitan on December 18 at its Luzhniki arena. The visitors currently look much weaker than their opponent, which is what the hosts, who lead the Western Conference Golden Division, hope to take advantage of. Let see if Kapitan can resist their opponent and what bets to play? The answer is in our forecast
Command Analysis
MHC Spartak
Russian FederationCurrent form
Last season, Spartak took a high third place in the Western Conference Golden Division, but made it through only one round of the playoffs. In the 1/8 finals, the club beat Mikhailov Academy 3:0 in the series, and in the quarterfinals, they were defeated by the Kharlamov Cup winner SKA-1946, without winning any of the three games. The start of the current championship is going well, and the Muscovites are showing brilliant results. The Red-Whites have played 31 games, won 24 victories and are in first place with 50 points, ahead of the second Mikhailov Academy U20 by four points, but have three games more. In the last game, the team played at home against Karelian SKA-GUOR and won a crushing victory - 8:2 in total. The previous game, the club managed to score only one goal against Mytishchi Atlant, which allowed them to earn two points, but kept their goal intact. Alexander Barkov team scored 112 goals, which is one of the best results in their division.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team concedes an average of two goals per game
- In the last three matches, the club won two victories with a difference of four or more goals
Kapitan Stupino
Russian FederationCurrent form
The team from Stupino has surprised many with its play this year, showing not quite confident results. However, what is there to be surprised about? Last year, the team took the last place and left the "Gold" division, and in the "Silver" division, it does not shine with results, playing much weaker than many of its rivals. In the current championship, the club under the leadership of Denis Kulyash played 27 matches, in which it has a negative difference between victories and defeats - nine victories with 18 failures, which corresponds to the seventh line in the "Silver" division of the Western Conference. The "Captain" missed 32 goals more than it scored, which indicates poor performance in the attacking line. In the last calendar meeting, the team lost to Moscow "Dynamo" (2:4), having missed all its goals in equal compositions. The team had won the match before with a score of 3:1 over the outsider of the MHL Karelian SKA-GUOR, having scored one goal in the first and two in the second 20 minutes. The gap from the top three is a devil dozen points, and such a gap cannot be made up before the end of the championship.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last two head-to-head games, the team conceded 15 goals from Spartak
- On average, the team scores two goals per game.

2.55Tip and bets
In this confrontation, we will give preference to Spartak, and the favorite in the match is the hosts. The Red-Whites are holding the meeting at their arena and, most likely, will crush their opponent. The visiting team is set only for victory, will use their experience and leave the opponent from Stupino out of business, as in the last face-to-face game.
Forecast – handicap (-2.5) puck on Spartak with odds of 1.63
Bet on total
In this pair, the hosts will most likely have the advantage. The teams are absolutely different in terms of the level of play and selection of players. It is worth paying attention to the fact that in the last three Spartak matches out of five in the MHL, more than five goals were scored, and we believe that in this confrontation a goal extravaganza will take place.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.65
Bet on individual total
"Kapitan" has had some problems with converting scoring chances in recent games. Over the past five games, the team from Stupino has scored only 10 goals, and we believe that the hosts will not be able to upset their opponents more than once.
Forecast - individual total of "Captain" less than 1.5 pucks for 1.67
