Command Analysis

Spartak Moscow

Current form
Spartak held an away series of four matches, which turned out to be far from the most successful. In the first match, the team showed a terrible defensive game, allowing Severstal to score as many as eight goals. The Muscovites tried to rectify the situation due to their attacking line, but still were defeated with a score of 6:8. A similar situation occurred in the next match against Lokomotiv, but this time the team managed to turn the tide of the meeting, snatching a victory in regular time (5:4). It seemed that after this victory, the red-whites would be able to consolidate their success without any problems and confidently beat the obvious outsider in the face of Torpedo, but this did not happen. The opponent equalized the score in the third period, and as a result had to suffer an insulting defeat in a shootout (2:3). Despite the defeat, it is worth praising goalkeeper Zagidulin, who reflected 94% of shots, which allowed him to get at least one point.
Zhamnov's team continued to play on the road, where they met with Dynamo Moscow and also failed to show a reliable defensive game, allowing the blue and White to realize their attacking potential, suffering a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4. Once again, the defense allowed its competitor to create and realize a huge number of dangerous moments at its own goal. Spartak was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans already at the home arena, where in the return meeting with Torpedo, Nizhny Novgorod did not leave any chances, defeating them with a score of 7:4. What is especially noteworthy is that Avtozavodtsy had a four-goal advantage by the beginning of the second period, but the Muscovites gathered their strength and made an incredible comeback. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions.

HC Dynamo Moscow

Current form
Dynamo has been in great shape for a long time and is steadily earning points, and the winning streak has reached three matches in a row. After the disappointing defeat by SKA in overtime (3:4), the team went to visit the obvious outsider in the person of Kunlun, where they were able to play much more reliably, and in addition to this, they realized their attacking potential, which allowed them to win a landslide victory with a score of 4:1. However, the last two goals were already thrown into an empty net. In particular, it is worth praising goalkeeper Motorygin, who reflected 96% of shots, which did not avoid additional problems. Striker Gusev also scored a double.
Returning to the home arena, the blue and white team met with the St. Petersburg team again and this time they played much more reliably, winning with a score of 3:1. The most productive player was striker Puckett, who scored the puck and gave an assist. Goalkeeper Motorygin also proved himself once again, who did not allow the "army" to realize their powerful attacking potential. The team was also able to consolidate its success at home, where it left Spartak no chance in the Moscow derby, defeating it with a score of 4:1. Gusev and Wil made a huge contribution to the victory, scoring six goals between them. Thanks to such successful results, the club still remains on the second line in the Western Conference table. However, so far the gap from the leader is too large and amounts to 13 points.

1.50Tip and bets
Spartak got the opportunity to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans and take revenge on Dynamo, but the team is unlikely to have the strength to do this. Indeed, the Muscovites have not been in the best shape for a long time, and their main problem remains a very weak defensive game, which constantly leads to defeats. Even despite these factors, bookmakers still give a very high coefficient for the victory of the guests, which is definitely worth taking advantage of. Indeed, the Blue and white have been looking much better lately and are quite capable of winning again.
Our forecast is Dynamo's victory in the match at 2.00
Bet on the total
The upcoming match promises to be very productive. As we have already noted, Spartak has serious defensive problems and constantly allows its opponents to realize their attacking potential to the fullest, which the Muscovites can also take advantage of. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Forecast - total more than five goals in 1.60
Betting on the outcome of the first period
It is also worth noting that this season Spartak very often has huge problems at the start of the match. The team often allows its competitors to gain a significant advantage, and only then tries to minimize it. So Dynamo has every chance to win in the opening round.
Forecast - Dynamo's victory in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.92
