Spartak vs. Avtomobilist: KHL match betting tip
As part of the regular KHL championship, a meeting between Spartak and Avtomobilist will take place on January 15. At the moment, the hosts are far from their optimal condition, but with the support of the home stands, they will certainly give their best and try to earn two points. Moreover, they finished the last meeting against the Yekaterinburg team in their favor, albeit in a tense fight. Or will the guests be able to extend their successful streak and achieve success? You will find out from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Spartak remains one of the main leaders of the Western Conference and currently occupies the fourth position in the tournament table. However, the team has not been doing well lately and has been losing quite a lot of points. Note that since the beginning of last month, it has not been able to get on a long winning streak or even two victories in a row, which is why it cannot feel completely comfortable.
Let us recall that the red-and-whites also lost in three of the previous four matches. After the holidays, they lost to Severstal (3:5), then literally crushed SKA (5:0), but in the subsequent away matches with Lokomotiv (4:5) and CSKA (2:4) they lost again, while conceding a total of nine goals in two matches. Perhaps the home series of games will help them gain confidence in their strength and come to their senses, because with the support of their stands, the Muscovites have been playing quite well this season and have previously lost within 60 minutes only five times.
It is also worth remembering that Spartak is at its strongest in the second period, where they often score goals and have a 59:46 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. Incidentally, the leading scorer, namely Pavel Poryadin, has already earned a total of 34 points in the goal+pass system, but, strangely enough, he remained without scoring in the final two games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ansel Galimov and Andrei Mironov will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Spartak wins 46.3% of faceoffs
Muscovites look weak on the spot and often lose in this important aspect
- Spartak receives an average of 6.33 minutes of penalty time per match
Spartak players are usually sent off no more than three times per game and are distinguished by good discipline
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avtomobilist maintains a fairly comfortable position in the East and is in fifth place in the tournament table. The team is seven points ahead of its closest pursuer Avangard, so it is definitely not in danger in the near future. If it continues to show similar results, it may well qualify for the top three. Note that the club was able to produce a series of three victories for the first time since November, and before that it had experienced many problems.
After an unsuccessful away match against Traktor (0:2), the Yekaterinburg team pulled themselves together and dealt with Barys (3:2 SO) in the fight, and then beat Admiral (4:3) and Dynamo Minsk (4:3 SO) on their home ice. At the same time, all victories were achieved with great difficulty, and it often came down to a series of shootouts. At the same time, the team itself rarely loses by a difference of several goals and even in difficult matches for itself, it is capable of causing a lot of difficulties to its counterpart.
Usually Nikolay Zavarukhin team really gets going in the third twenty minutes, which they spend very actively and, not by chance, have a 42:31 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. On the road, in general, Avto also looks pretty good, since in 22 meetings they have played, they have celebrated success in regulation time in ten cases, which is a decent indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Curtis Wolk and Nick Ebert will not play in the next game.

1.68Tip and bets
Bookmakers seriously underestimate Avtomobilist in this confrontation. Of course, Spartak looks preferable to its counterpart this season, but the Muscovites are currently in poor shape, so the upcoming match will definitely not be easy for them. Nikolay Zavarukhin team is a very unpleasant and inconvenient opponent for any team, especially when it is in such a condition. Last time Avto also brought the matter to a series of shootouts, but then luck was on the side of the red-whites. It is quite possible that now the Yekaterinburg team will be able to cling to points and not lose within 60 minutes.
Betting Tip - Avtomobilist will not lose for 2.00
Bet on individual total
Avtomobilist has managed with a small number of missed goals in recent matches and, as a rule, has not allowed its opponents to score more than three times. Spartak, in turn, usually has difficulty scoring in matches with the Yekaterinburg team. Moreover, after two unsuccessful matches in a row, Alexey Zhamnov team will feel less comfortable and will be more focused on their actions in defense than on their attack.
We bet on Spartak individual total under 3.5 goals for 1.57
Total Bet
Most of the previous matches involving Avtomobilist were low-scoring and had a minimum number of goals scored. The Yekaterinburg team continues to play in its own style and devotes a lot of time to power struggles. Spartak matches with similar opponents also often have a small number of goals, so it makes sense to bet on the total under in this confrontation.
We take the total under 5.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.75
