Command Analysis
HC Sochi
Russian FederationCurrent form
Sochi has been showing excellent results throughout the season and is usually on the receiving end of a series of setbacks. The team has long since said goodbye to the chances of reaching the playoffs. Today, it is located on the last line of the Western Conference and very rarely pleases its fans with positive results. It will not be easy for her to improve her position in the table, because even now she is six points away from Vityaz.
We emphasize that Sochi residents manage with rare victories. They also lost in the previous four out of six meetings. So, on their ice they lost to Severstal (3:4B) and lost to Torpedo (1:3), but in the away match against Kunlun they unexpectedly celebrated success with a score of 4:2. Also, the Leopards had a powerful match against Traktor, in which they brought the matter to overtime and lost to the leader of the East in an equal fight (2:3 OT). They were able to rehabilitate themselves in the last confrontation with Neftekhimik, against whom they celebrated Victory with a score of 3:2 in overtime and made an incredible comeback with 0:2. Alexander Yaremchuk became the hero of that match, who scored a double and also scored the winning goal.
It is worth mentioning that Sergey Zubov's team continues to experience a lot of problems with actions in the minority and now has only 78.2% neutralization of the majority of the opponent. In general, the defensive game remains Sochi's weakest and most vulnerable point, since on average there are at least three or four goals in their net.

CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
CSKA occupies the third place in the Western Conference and, of course, wants to strengthen its position in the standings and get into the playoffs from at least the second position. The team has everything for this. She has been showing good results lately and has managed without the long series of failures that plagued her earlier. In the previous four out of five meetings, the Army team celebrated success and demonstrated a fairly high-quality game.
Let's remind that at the home arena they defeated Severstal and Torpedo with the same score 6:1, but after a difficult match with Avangard (2:1B) they still lost to Cherepovets (3:4), going on a break. After the break, Ilya Vorobyov's team managed to play only one match on their ice against Vityaz, in which they won Victoria with a score of 3:1. Nevertheless, the meeting with the "heroes" turned out to be by no means easy, as the hosts conceded first at the end of the second segment and were forced to give their best in the third period to avoid losing points. Fortunately, they managed to bring the matter to a victorious end within the regular time.
By the way, CSKA is playing rather poorly on a visit and has managed to score only seven victories within 60 minutes so far. The third period is usually the most successful for the team, in which it has a 55:46 ratio of goals scored and conceded. However, she should work on most of the actions, since at the moment she has only 18.4% of the excess implementation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Prosvetov, Abramov and Samorukov will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- CSKA gets an average of 6.98 minutes of penalty time per match.
Army players are usually eliminated at least four times per game, and in the last match I completely violated the rules five times.
- According to statistics, CSKA makes 30 shots on target
Muscovites show a fairly high throwing activity against the background of many rivals
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the teams, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.85Bet 3rd period: CSKA victory
In two out of three meetings against Sochi, CSKA was successful in the third period.
2.00Tip and bets
CSKA should be able to achieve Victory without any problems in this confrontation. Many matches between the clubs ended in favor of the Army team during regular time. At the moment, Ilya Vorobyov's team is in good shape and had previously celebrated success in four out of five matches, while the Leopards often showed mediocre results. Sochi is a very convenient opponent for CSKA, so they will have little chance of a favorable outcome in the upcoming confrontation.
Forecast - CSKA victory in 1.60
Betting on an individual total
Sochi was not very effective in previous matches and usually opened up the opponents' defenses no more than twice. CSKA, in turn, managed less than two goals in four out of five matches. By the way, in face-to-face meetings with the army, the hosts also have problems creating and implementing chances, which is why they cannot open the opponent's defense three times. It is likely that we will not see three goals in their performance this time either.
We're betting on Sochi's individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.55
Bet on the total total
Past matches between the clubs were not particularly spectacular and often ended with less than six goals scored. CSKA will not take unnecessary risks in this confrontation and will try to play as reliably as possible in defense, gaining victory in the class. It is also worth noting that the Sochi team also played the last three out of five matches with a lower total.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.95
