Command Analysis
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Spartak successfully held the regular part of the championship and showed fairly stable results. The team also faced unsuccessful periods during which they could not find their game at all, but after that they issued a long winning streak. Last season, the Muscovites also made it to the playoffs without any problems, but they could not achieve the desired result.
This year, they already have the right experience and are able to claim a lot. However, their defensive play raises many questions, because sometimes Spartak players allow their opponents too much in their own zone and suffer greatly because of this, since such difficulties cannot always be compensated by ideal actions in the offensive zone.
Let's emphasize that Alexey Zhamnov's squad is probably in high spirits right now, as they were able to score five victories in six matches earlier. Recall that after an unexpected defeat in the confrontation with Neftekhimik (1:3), she pulled herself together and proved her superiority over Sochi (3:1) on her ice, and also saved the match against Lada and celebrated success with a score of 3:2 in overtime.

Severstal Cherepovets
Russian FederationCurrent form
Severstal has produced perhaps one of the best regular season championships in recent years and has caused problems for many rivals. It is no coincidence that the team found itself in the playoff zone and is clearly not going to stop this time at the opening round. The club could have performed better, but it didn't have a particularly good start to the month and lost a lot of points.
Fortunately, they held onto the sixth position of the Western Conference and did not allow SKA to get ahead of themselves. This happened solely due to the winning streak of three matches. So, on the road, in a stubborn struggle, Cherepovets defeated Kunlun (5:4B), and also beat Torpedo (3:2) in a tense duel. Returning to the home arena, Andrey Kozyrev's team had a great meeting with Dynamo Moscow, which they also defeated with a score of 3:2.
Let's emphasize that Severstal also usually relies on open hockey and is used to operating on opposite courses. That is why the team is often distinguished by three abandoned goals, although it is not performing so well on the road this season, since it has always celebrated success in only half of the away matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dyblenko will not be able to participate in this match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Severstal receives an average of 4.91 minutes of penalty time per match.
- According to statistics, Cherepovets make 33 shots on target.

1.57Tip and bets
We think that Severstal will cause big problems for Spartak in this series, and it can also claim success in this match. The Cherepovets team had a great fight with the red and white this season and ended the previous two out of three matches in their favor. Considering how unstable Muscovites are, it is highly likely that this confrontation will reach overtime.
Betting Tip - Severstal will not lose in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
In previous meetings, Severstal was notable for its excellent performance and scored at least three goals. Spartak does not play reliably defensively throughout the season and constantly plays on opposite courses, so the Muscovites concede about three goals on average, even when they play on the home court.
We bet on Severstal's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings between the clubs turned out to be spectacular and took place with no less than six goals scored. Even in the playoffs, teams are unlikely to abandon their style and continue to operate on opposite courses. Severstal definitely does not plan to play in a closed style on the road, so it will force its opponent to open up.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.90
