Severstal - Spartak: betting tip for the KHL match
Severstal still cannot succeed in the playoffs, losing in every match. The team returned to their home arena, where they will once again try to defeat Spartak. Will home walls help steelworkers? You will find the answer in our betting tip, which also contains the most optimal bets
Command Analysis
Severstal Cherepovets
Russian FederationCurrent form
Severstal seemed to be in optimal shape for the playoffs, as it consistently scored points over three consecutive matches. However, it was not possible to start successfully in the Gagarin Cup. The team played on the road, where in the first match with Spartak they suffered an insulting defeat in overtime (4:5). In the second leg, the team also failed to play reliably in defense, which led to another setback (2:4). What is especially noteworthy is that the Cherepovets team created serious pressure on the Muscovites throughout the meeting and made 43 shots in three periods, but there were problems with their accuracy. Goalkeeper Samoilov also played poorly, reflecting only 86% of shots.
It seemed that by returning to their home arena, the Steelworkers would rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans and realize their attacking potential, but none of the 40 shots reached the target, which led to a dry defeat and put the club on the verge of relegation from the cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dyblenko and Lishka remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Severstal scores three goals per match.
- Steelworkers receive an average of 5.5 penalty minutes per match.
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Spartak continued to delight the fans with successful results in the playoffs, where it started as well as possible. The first match with Severstal started quite alarmingly, as the opponent took a significant advantage of two goals, but the excellent implementation of the attacking moments allowed him to make a comeback and snatch Victoria in overtime (5:4). The home walls helped the Muscovites to win a second victory, already with a comfortable advantage (4:2). Goalkeeper Nikolaev made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 41 shots out of 43.
As expected, the team also met serious resistance from the competitor when visiting Cherepovets, but goalkeeper Zagidulin showed one of his best results, deflecting all 40 shots. Only due to this, Spartak scored another dry success (1-0). It is worth noting the excellent game of the red-whites in the minority. The club was eliminated seven times and consistently repelled Severstal's attacks.
Disqualifications and injuries
Spartak still has no problems with the squad.
Interesting betting trends
- Spartak scores an average of 3.25 goals per match.
- Muscovites average 32.6 shots per match.

1.50Tip and bets
Spartak is just one step away from reaching the quarterfinals of the Gagarin Cup, but Severstal is unlikely to let the Muscovites go through so easily. The Cherepovets team looked no worse than their competitor in every match, and in terms of attacking actions, they were even seriously superior to the red-whites. The constant bad luck in realizing attacking chances must come to an end sooner or later. We believe that the home walls will still help the steelworkers achieve at least one victory, which we suggest betting on.
Our betting tip is that Severstal will win the match in 1.92
Bet on the total
Spartak, having a comfortable advantage for itself, is unlikely to rush headlong into the attack. The team will try to play as carefully as possible so as not to create additional problems for themselves. This will have a bad effect on the overall performance of the match, which means that we choose the total less as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.90
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Severstal will try to seize the advantage again after the end of the starting segment and from the first minutes of the match will begin to create pressure on Spartak. We believe that the support of the home stands will allow the Steelworkers to win in the first period.
Prediction - Spartak's victory in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.87
