Current form

Last season, the team from St. Petersburg took sixth place in its division, failed to make it to the play-in and thus continues to play in the Silver Division of the Western Conference. In the current regular championship, the "army men" are also not aiming for high places, which give the right to fight in the knockout matches. The team plays at its level and fights for the top five, losing to the fifth "Captain" only on additional indicators. Since the start of the championship, the club has won only 11 victories and suffered as many as 24 defeats with 133 goals conceded. But the club scores much less - only 81 goals. In this segment, SKA-Junior is in seventh place in the tournament table and is 10 points behind its current opponent. In the last game, the team suffered a defeat from the Red Army (0:5), having conceded three goals in the second and two in the third period.

The team from Moscow is set only for victory, and we believe that they will leave no chance for their opponent from St. Petersburg.

In this pair, the hosts will have the advantage, will get a comfortable advantage and will bring the game to a logical conclusion. It is worth paying attention to the fact that in the last three matches of Krylia Sovetov, less than six goals were scored out of five, and we believe that in this confrontation, too, a goal extravaganza will not take place.

Forecast - total under 5.5 goals with odds of 2.00

Bet on individual total

The hosts have no problems in attack, the team has scored an average of three goals since the beginning of the season. We believe that the Muscovites will be able to upset the opponent goalie more than twice, as in the last face-to-face match on their ice.

Forecast - individual total of Krylia Sovetov more than three goals for 1.59
