RUSSIA: KHL.

Start of the game: 19:30 (Moscow time).

Siberia will be the next KHL club that will try to take points from SKA this season. The team from St. Petersburg continues its unbeaten streak, which already includes 18 matches in a row.

SKA.

The St. Petersburg club is really impressive and is the strongest team in the KHL at the moment. SKA's level is confirmed by a gigantic lead over their opponents, as well as 85 goals scored, with only 23 missed. The strength of this team is its powerful composition, experienced coach and ability to play aggressive hockey. It seems that SKA can indeed set several records this season and face much less resistance in the fight for the title than in previous seasons.

Siberia

The club from Novosibirsk is trying to break into the top eight strongest teams Eastern Conference, falling behind the eighth position by only 1 point. Siberia's game looks good, and given the density in the standings, the chances of a successful fight for a place in the playoff zone are very high. It is interesting that Sibir prefers to “dry” the game in its matches and constantly acts on the defensive.

Forecast for the match.

SKA will completely dominate the native ice and do whatever he wants with the protective orders of Siberia. It's all about the huge difference in class. Therefore, victory will definitely go to the home team.

Bet: SKA win with handicap (-1.5) - odds 1.43.

Place: MSRK "Ice Palace", St. Petersburg.

SKA continues to update its record streak for the number of victories in a row at the start of the season; it has reached 18 matches in a row. So quietly, Oleg Znarok’s team repeated the Omsk Avangard record for the number of victories in a row in one season, and if they win on Friday, they will set a new benchmark for KHL teams. SKA returns home after a series of 6 away matches, in which they won 5 crushing victories, all in a row. SKA won the last two matches with a score of 6:1 against Lokomotiv and Salavat Yulaev. Ilya Kovalchuk scored a hat-trick in Ufa. In 18 matches, the army team scored 51 points, had a goal difference of +62, an average performance of 4.72 goals, conceding 1.27 goals per game, all these are the best results in the league. It’s no wonder that 6 SKA players are in the TOP 50 snipers in the league, and five of them are in the TOP 10. The first two places are occupied by Nikita Gusev 12+15 and Ilya Kovalchuk 16+10, fourth-fifth by Shirokov 11+11 and Datsyuk 4+18, and ninth place by Hersley 10+8. In 8 matches of the season on home ice, Znark’s team scored 22 points, scoring 35 and conceding 12 goals.

Siberia, after two defeats in a row from SKA 0:3 and Ak Bars 2:3, and finally won the previous match 4:3 Sochi in overtime. Pavel Zubov's team played great on the power play, scoring all three goals in regulation time using opponents' fouls. The victory in the south of Russia allowed the Novosibirsk team not to let go of the leaders of the east, with 26 points and a goal difference of 37-35, the team is in 9th place in the conference. Sibir remains the most “boring” in the League, with a 4.2 performance indicator in their matches. Away, Sibir scored 11 points in 7 championship games, scoring 17 and conceding 13 goals.

SKA and Siberia met 21 times, the St. Petersburg team achieved 16 victories, with 5 victories for Siberia and a goal difference of 60-34. It should be noted that on September 27, SKA defeated Siberia 3:0 on the road, playing brilliantly on the power play, scoring 2 out of 3 goals while playing with a one-player advantage on the ice. Considering the fact that the Znarka team confidently beat the opponent on its ice, in St. Petersburg we can expect the establishment of another record for the invincible Znarka team. But this time it’s better not to expect a big victory from the army team, they are people too, and Sibir is a team with character and excellent defense, which is what they must show in this match. Bet: Siberia will not give up more than three goals - F2 (+3) with odds of 1.66 and TM6 with odds of 1.66.

On October 6, the next KHL match will take place in St. Petersburg: SKA - Siberia. This season SKA is certainly above all praise. Many people say that they are too self-confident and should have lost a long time ago, but no - we see the game at a very high level. It is clear that the army team is the favorite here. Just how exactly this will manifest itself - we need to figure it out.

I’m sure SKA will shoot more, most of them will convert, the guys are doing great with this. Plus there are players who are very motivated, such as Shirokov, Gusev. Well, it turns out that sometimes the judge helps, whether it’s accidental or not, we have what we have. Referees are sometimes more afraid of making a mistake than the SKA players themselves. No one will punish them for SKA’s victory, but for defeat, every referee’s action will be examined under a microscope.

Therefore, SKA certainly has every chance to win with a handicap of -1 or -1.5. Bets on the match SKA - Siberia are varied, and those who like to play on additional outcomes have plenty to choose from.

As for Siberia, not everything is so simple and clear. For me, as many people probably know, this is generally the most unpredictable team. He seems to be such a confident average player, but he may not score against an outsider, then he can beat the favorite in a clean sheet. Betting on Siberia is always a risky business.

Siberia needs to score points; of course, it’s too early to talk about the KHL playoff stage, but they need to cling to every opportunity. Of course, SKA is not such an opportunity, but it is possible to impose a fight. What can save here is Siberia’s ability to counterattack; the team does this well, plays all over the court, and puts up a fight at every moment.

As already mentioned, the judges will most likely be more favorable towards SKA, so you need to play carefully and try to get away as little as possible, otherwise playing with a minority against the “army team” is a dangerous business.
