SKA — Spartak: forecast for the KHL match
SKA will face Spartak on February 25 and will try to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans for its terrible performance in the match against Kunlun. Our experts have prepared a forecast in which they will tell you about the latest performances of the clubs, as well as help you determine the bids
Command Analysis
SKA St. Petersburg
Russian FederationCurrent form
SKA completed an away series of five matches, which did not bring the team much success. In the first game against Vityaz, they showed a powerful attacking game and won 4-2. However, the team's defense was not reliable enough, and without the efforts of goalkeeper Moyasevich, they could have faced difficulties. Unfortunately, it was not possible to build on the success. In the match against Dynamo Moscow, the St. Petersburg attack did not show its strength, which led to a 1-3 defeat. One of the league's most productive clubs scored only one goal and was inactive throughout the game. Nevertheless, the team was able to rehabilitate itself in the match against a much weaker opponent, Barys, winning 5-2 and regaining the lost points. It is difficult to single out any of the players in this match, as many contributed to the result.
After a landslide victory over a clear outsider, SKA went to Nizhnekamsk, where he was supposed to consolidate his success by playing against Neftekhimik. However, the Wolves showed a powerful attacking hockey, which the Army team was clearly not ready for, and as a result they were defeated (3:4). Goalkeeper Zavragin did his best, deflecting 33 of 37 shots, but it wasn't enough. Despite the defeat, in the next match against Severstal, the club was able to compensate for a weak defensive performance with effective offensive actions and won with a score of 5:3. After unstable results on the road, the team returned to the home arena, where it should have been able to confidently cope with Kunlun, but this did not happen. Once again, the St. Petersburg defense was bursting at the seams, which allowed Red Star to win one of the most productive victories with a score of 6:4. As you can see, the main problem of Rotenberg's wards remains a very weak defense, which leads to constant failures.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Gritsyuk and Pleshkov will not be able to participate in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends

The St. Petersburg team remains the most productive in the league at the moment.

It is also worth noting the excellent realization of numerical superiority.
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Spartak completed a three-match home series, which turned out to be very successful in the end. In the first match, the team faced Torpedo and left him no chance, showing all his attacking potential and defeating with a score of 7:4. Throughout the match, the Muscovites created and implemented a huge number of dangerous moments in the Nizhny Novgorod area, and in particular, it is worth praising striker Belyaev, who scored a double. However, it turned out to be far from easy for the team to consolidate its success. I had to fight an opponent of my own level in the face of Dynamo Moscow, which almost led to defeat. Zhamnov's team equalized the score just five minutes before the final whistle and moved the game into overtime, where they nevertheless achieved their goal and pulled out Victoria (3:2).
Continuing to perform in their native walls, the red-whites met with Siberia and this time again showed all their might, defeating Novosibirsk with a score of 6:2. In the second period, the Muscovites took the lead, and in the third they only consolidated their superiority over the Snowflakes. Once again, it is worth praising the entire attacking line, which managed to land as many as 41 shots on the opponent's goal. It seemed that having gained such a shape, the club would not stop and would continue to smash everyone in its path, but this did not happen. In the duel with Dinamo Minsk, the puck stubbornly did not fly to the target, which eventually led to an unexpected dry defeat (0:3). In general, Spartak is showing excellent results this season and currently occupies the second place in the Western Conference table and has already received an early ticket to the playoffs.

The team currently has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- Spartak gets 6.48 minutes of penalty time per match
Muscovites are very well disciplined.
- Spartak has 78.8% neutralization of the majority of the opponent

1.45Tip and bets
SKA is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, which is quite strange. The team has been showing very unstable results lately and is constantly losing to league outsiders who won't even be able to compete for the playoffs. Home walls do not always help residents of St. Petersburg to achieve success. But Spartak, on the contrary, has gained an excellent pace and shows a very powerful attacking game in absolutely every match, which will be a huge problem for the St. Petersburg team with their weak defense. So we suggest taking advantage of an unreasonably high coefficient and placing a bet in favor of the guests.
Our forecast is for Spartak to win the match in 2.20
Bet on the total
Most matches involving SKA become very productive for several reasons. Firstly, the team has the best strikers in the league, who are single-handedly able to break through the opponent's defensive line. Secondly, St. Petersburg is experiencing huge problems in defense, which leads to a huge number of missed goals. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Forecast - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.63
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Recently, SKA rarely successfully starts matches and earns an advantage after the end of the starting segment. We believe that the Muscovites will take advantage of the opponent's defensive problems and will not lose in the initial segment.
The forecast is that Spartak will not lose in the first period for 1.50
