Command Analysis

Traktor

Current form
Traktor completed its three-match away series, which turned out to be quite successful overall. It started on a visit to Lada, where they managed to defeat their opponent dry (6:0). Many players distinguished themselves with effective actions, but striker Shabanov showed himself best of all, scoring the puck and giving two assists. However, the bears were unable to consolidate their success. In the match against Ak Bars, I had to concede by as much as four goals (2:6). Goalkeeper Fucale showed a terrible game, reflecting only 78% of shots, which was the main reason for the failure.
Then Chelyabinsk had to fight another very dangerous opponent, in the person of Avangard. Despite the excellent form of the opponent and the advantage of the home walls, the Tractor showed its full attacking potential and compensated for defensive mistakes, which allowed it to win an important victory with a score of 5:4. This time it is difficult to single out any of the players, as almost all distinguished themselves by their effective actions. It is worth noting that the club continues to remain on the first line in the Eastern Conference table.

SKA St. Petersburg

Current form
SKA has long since overcome its protracted slump and started steadily earning points, and the winning streak has already reached four matches in a row. The team finally settled into a defensive game, and the goalkeepers began to show their best side. It is worth noting that it was the weak defensive line that was the main reason for almost all the defeats of the club. After successfully completing a series of away matches and defeating CSKA (3:2 OT), the team returned to the home arena, where they consolidated their success in matches with very serious opponents, defeating Metallurg (4:2) and Dinamo Minsk (3:1).
SKA also scored their fourth victory in a row at home, where they did not even allow Sochi to score, snatching Victoria dry (2:0). Goalkeeper Zavragin scored once again, deflecting all the shots, thereby creating a shutout. These successes helped the club strengthen its position in the Western Conference table, and also gave it a chance to rise above the sixth place.
Disqualifications and injuries

Interesting betting trends

1.50Tip and bets
Indeed, SKA has recently achieved success due to high-quality defensive play and the efforts of goalkeepers. However, in the upcoming match, the army team is unlikely to be able to sit out on the defensive, since the Tractor has a very powerful attacking potential and consistently implements it. In addition, Chelyabinsk residents will play at home, where, with the support of the fans, they have even more chances of success. We believe that the St. Petersburg team will have defensive problems again, which will allow the bears to succeed.
