Command Analysis

Spartak Moscow

Current form
Spartak remains one of the leaders of the Western Conference and has earned a total of 76 points. The team is quite capable of claiming the second position in the standings and will probably do its best to get into the playoffs from it in order to get a more comfortable opponent in the first round. However, lately she has not been stable at all and alternated successful fights with defeats, although before that she had issued a series of three victories.
Muscovites had previously dealt with Siberia (6:2), lost dry to Dinamo Minsk (0:3), and literally defeated SKA on the road with a score of 7:2. It seemed that the next match against the bison, after such a resounding success, the red-whites would hold at a high level and also earn two points, but they again had a weak start to the game and could not fully return to the game, eventually losing with a score of 1:2. Adam Ruzicka scored the only goal in that match, but the leaders of the attack remained silent.
Let's emphasize that the best performance of Alexey Zhamnov's team remains the second game period, in which he has a 79:59 ratio in goals scored and conceded. Spartak is constantly counting on open hockey, and even on the road, they score about three goals on average, but they also miss well in return. By the way, the club currently ranks second in the West in terms of total goals scored.

Avangard Omsk

Current form
Avangard still occupies the sixth place in the Eastern Conference table and cannot significantly improve its position, although it is trying its best. Since the arrival of Guy Boucher as head coach, the team has started to show great results and is winning match after match. Let's remind that she was successful in seven previous meetings and in most cases won within the regular time.
The Hawks had previously defeated Ak Bars (6:2) on their ice, after which they dealt with Magnitogorsk Metallurg (2:1) and Amur (2:1) in a stubborn struggle. The match against Vityaz turned out to be difficult for Omsk, in which they nevertheless celebrated Victory with a score of 4:3 in overtime. By the way, in many meetings the team showed a reliable defensive game and managed with one or two goals conceded.
Also, do not forget that Avangard plays great in unequal teams. The club currently has 25.6% of the majority and is extremely reliable in the minority, having 82.9% of the neutralizing majority of the opponent. Omsk residents feel most comfortable in the third game period, in which they have a 58:49 ratio of goals scored and conceded. Damir Sharipzyanov remains the main scorer in the squad, who earned a total of 44 points in the goal+pass system and continues to demonstrate a great game.

1.52Tip and bets
The vanguard can claim success in this confrontation as well. Omsk are in excellent condition and have been showing strong results for a long period of time, unlike Spartak, which continues to alternate successful matches with defeats. The teams met at the start of the season, and then the Muscovites won a hard-fought battle, but do not forget that then the Hawks themselves were much weaker than they are now. We think that even on the road, Omsk will cause serious problems for their opponent and will be able to achieve victory - if not in regular time, then beyond it.
Betting Tip - Avangard's victory in the match for 2.15
Betting on an individual total
Recently, Avangard has demonstrated extremely reliable defensive play and managed with a minimum number of missed goals. Spartak, on the other hand, had difficulty creating and implementing chances in previous matches, and in three out of five matches they remained with less than three goals scored. If Nikita Serebryakov does not let down, then this time the hawks will not allow Spartak to score three times.
We take Spartak's individual total of less than three goals for 1.75
Bet on the total total
Avangard also began to adapt more or less to the playoff style of play, so it spends matches with serious rivals ineffectively and tries to act as reliably as possible in its own zone, playing with an eye on its own goal. By the way, the last three out of five matches with Spartak were also grassroots. It's likely that the teams will be wary of each other, so we don't expect to see a lot of pucks in the upcoming meeting.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.90
