Command Analysis

Spartak Moscow

Current form
The start of the Gagarin Cup turned out to be very difficult for Spartak. In the first match against Severstal, the team allowed the opponent to earn a significant advantage and throughout the meeting showed a weak defensive game, which almost led to defeat. Nevertheless, it came to overtime, where they managed to snatch Victoria with a score of 5:4. Forwards Pashin and Rubtsov scored three goals apiece. In the second leg, the Muscovites played even worse in defense, but goalkeeper Nikolaev compensated for all the failures with his reliability, reflecting 41 shots, which allowed him to achieve another success (4:2).
After that, the team went to play on the road, where they completely prevailed dry (1-0), thereby earning a critical advantage in the series. This time the goal was defended by Zagidulin, who played no worse than his teammate. Nevertheless, the constant failures in defense could not but affect the result. In the fourth match, Spartak suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 2:5.

Severstal Cherepovets

Current form
Severstal approached the playoffs in excellent shape, having a three-match winning streak, but it was not possible to start in the Gagarin Cup with another Victoria. Visiting Spartak, there were serious problems with the implementation of moments in the attack. The puck stubbornly did not want to fly to the target, which led to two defeats in a row. Despite these two failures, it is worth noting the fact that the Cherepovets looked much better than their competitor, and in particular the attacking line was different.
The home walls were supposed to help the Steelers get back into the fight for passage to the quarterfinals, but once again there were problems with the accuracy of shots, which led to a third defeat in a row and put the club on the verge of relegation from the playoffs. As expected, Kozyrev's wards were able to avoid a complete failure and in the fourth match of the series they won a landslide victory over the Muscovites with a score of 5:2. Forwards Ivantsov and Skorenov showed a great game, scoring three goals each. However, it is worth noting that any mistake can now become critical.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dyblenko and Lishka remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Severstal scores three goals per match.

1.50Tip and bets
Spartak is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, and the bookmakers are giving the Muscovites an unreasonably high coefficient for another victory, which they can easily take advantage of. Severstal shows excellent attacking play from match to match, due to which it should have been the first to seize the advantage in the series, but the Steelworkers were not lucky with the realization of chances. As you can see, in the last match, the Cherepovets finally realized their attacking potential and achieved success due to this. We believe that the additional pressure will not affect the club's performance, and it will be able to achieve another victory, which we suggest betting on.
