Command Analysis
Metallurg Magnitogorsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Metallurg has been in great shape for a long time and consistently beat all opponents for five consecutive matches. After the successful completion of the home series and the victory over Lada (2-1 B), the team went to play on the road, where they met with Sochi and left no chance for the obvious outsider. Magnitogorsk showed the most reliable defensive game and did not even allow Sochi to score, gaining the upper hand dry (3:0). In particular, it is worth praising goalkeeper Smolin, who deflected all 24 shots, thereby creating a shutout.
Next, the club went to visit a much more serious rival, SKA, where, unfortunately for the fans, it was unable to consolidate its success and interrupted its long string of successful results. Unexpectedly, the foxes were unable to take advantage of the weak defense of St. Petersburg and played very modestly in attack, and in three periods they made only 21 shots, which was not enough. As a result, I had to be defeated with a score of 2:4. Goalkeeper Nabokov showed his worst side, and he even had to be replaced at the end of the match. Despite losing two points, the team continues to remain on the fourth line in the Eastern Conference table.

CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
CSKA continues its away series, which it started as successfully as possible. In the first match, the team faced one of the main outsiders of the league, Barys. The Muscovites showed their best side, which allowed them to win a dry victory over the Kazakhstanis with a score of 3:0. Goalkeeper Khomchenko showed a great game, deflecting 27 shots by making a cracker. It is also impossible not to mention the striker Galiev, who scored a double.
The Muscovites were able to consolidate their success in a duel with a rival of their level, a motorist. To do this, the army had to put in a lot of effort, realizing their attacking potential to the fullest, which allowed them to earn a significant advantage at the end of the second period. Yekaterinburg made serious gains in the final segment, but CSKA still achieved its goal, gaining the upper hand with a one-goal difference (4:3). The most productive was striker Poltapov, who scored a double and gave an assist. Thanks to the form gained, the club was able to rise to the third place in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the nearest competitor was reduced to zero.

2.25Tip and bets
Determining the winner in the upcoming match is not so easy, as both teams deserve to earn extra points and are in optimal shape at first glance. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that Metallurg has been beating only obvious outsiders lately and failed in the very first match against a serious opponent. CSKA, in turn, has picked up a great pace, and the club is also performing well on the road, where it has not lost for four consecutive matches. So we suggest taking advantage of an unreasonably high coefficient and placing a bet in favor of the guests.
Our betting tip is Metallurg's victory in the match in 2.25
Bet on the total
You still shouldn't expect a lot of abandoned goals in the upcoming match. Both teams have often had difficulty implementing offensive chances lately and are unlikely to fix this shortcoming in such a short period of time.
The betting tip is a total of less than 5.5 goals in 1.65
Betting on the outcome of the first period
CSKA has recently been showing a great game at the start of the match and due to this, it consistently earns an advantage already at the end of the starting segment. We believe that the Army team, at least, will not lose in the first period.
Betting Tip - Metallurg will not lose in the first period for 1.50
