Spartak - Severstal: betting tip for the KHL match
As part of the KHL regular season, a meeting between Spartak and Severstal will take place on March 16. Muscovites have recently emerged from a serious string of setbacks and replaced it with two victories. Residents of Cherepovets cannot find stability in any way. Nevertheless, the last two matches against the red and white steelworkers ended in their favor. What bet should I place on the upcoming event? You will learn about this from the betting tip

Command Analysis

Spartak Moscow

Current form
Spartak is in fifth position in the Western Conference and scored a total of 81 points. The team can still finish its performance in the regular season in third place, from which it is literally two points away, but for this it needs to make serious efforts. It should be noted that she recently faced an unsuccessful series of four defeats.
Fortunately, after the disastrous matches against Kunlun (2:3 B) and Torpedo (0:3), the Muscovites gathered and first dealt with Ak Bars (5:3) on the road, and after that proved their superiority over Lada with a score of 4:2. In their successful matches, Spartak players played their favorite outdoor hockey, which bore fruit, but it is far from certain that this style will work in the playoffs.
Plus, Alexey Zhamnov's squad plays no stronger on their ice than they do on a visit, and on average there are at least three goals in the net. As a rule, the most disastrous in her performance is the starting segment, in which she now has a 53:54 ratio in goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Spartak has no problems with the squad at the moment.
Interesting betting trends
- Spartak gets an average of 6.33 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Spartak wins 46.9% of face-offs

Severstal Cherepovets

Current form
Severstal is capable of claiming a lot this season. Until recently, it was located on the second line of the Western Conference, but then deplorable times came for it, and in this short period it found itself in seventh position altogether. Throughout the month, the residents of Cherepovets continue to show very unstable results and can not get to a successful series for themselves.
Earlier, they dealt with Vityaz (3:0) on their ice, after which they lost to Tractor (1:5) and Lokomotiv (0:3) on the road, but in the final confrontation with Dinamo Minsk, they still celebrated success with a score of 5:4. In the last match against the bison, Andrey Kozyrev's team had a great decisive period, in which they scored two unanswered goals and not without problems, but still brought the matter to a victorious end.
We emphasize that in many cases the steelworkers are very productive and usually even on the road they score about three goals per match. However, most of them still have serious difficulties with the game, since today they have only 14.3% of the excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dyblenko will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends

1.57Tip and bets
In our opinion, Severstal has an excellent chance of success in this confrontation. Cherepovets are an inconvenient opponent for Spartak, so many previous fights ended in their favor. The Red and white are not stable even on their own ice and often have problems in meetings with active opponents. We think that Muscovites are far from their optimal form now, so they may well concede or win outside of regular time.
Betting Tip - Severstal wins with an Asian handicap (+1) on goals in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Spartak is having problems defensively and concedes at least three goals in almost every match. The team tries to play on opposite courses, so it allows the opponent too much in their own zone. Severstal regularly scored at least five times in the last two matches against the red-whites, so it makes sense to bet on an individual total.
We take Severstal's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on the total total
Both teams prefer to play open hockey and try to score first. That's why the last matches between them turned out to be incredibly spectacular and took place with more than five goals scored. Both Spartak and Severstal make excellent use of their moments and constantly find free space. Based on this, we expect to see at least six goals in the upcoming match.
We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 1.70
