Hockey. KHL. CSKA – Salavat Yulaev. Direct
On Monday, December 25, there are only three games on the KHL regular season schedule. In one of them, the capital’s CSKA will host Salavat Yulaev from Ufa. According to bookmakers, the favorite for this confrontation is Army Club. You can bet on the victory of the current Gagarin Cup winner with odds of 2.12, while the success of the guests is estimated at 3.35 points. However, not everything is clear in this couple.
First of all because CSKA continues to have a fever. And this process does not end with the start of the season. The number of matches lost by the capital club is slightly less than the number of matches won – 20 against 22. The statistics are simply terrible for the best team of last season. In addition, failures sometimes occur in the form of three defeats in a row, as for example now – last week the Army team lost to: Dynamo (1:4), SKA (2:6) and Lokomotiv (1: 2 OT). Yes, all the matches are away, but still. Sixth place in the Western Conference standings is a position that cannot please either the club management or the fans. It is not surprising that there is more and more talk about possible changes within the CSKA coaching staff. In principle, the current situation is such that each next match of Sergei Fedorov could be the last.
“Salavat Yulaev” is more consistent this season than his current opponent. The Ufa team is third in the East and is only four points behind the leader of the standings, Omsk Avangard. Over the past month, Viktor Kozlov’s team has lost only two matches out of eight. Moreover, during this period, Salavat Yulaev defeated both the leader of the regular season, Spartak Moscow (3:2 B), and the leader of the Eastern Conference, 3:1. Away matches are not as good for the Ufa team as home matches. But even on the road, “Salavat Yulaev” regularly takes points, so Kozlov’s team is quite capable of fighting CSKA today.
By the way, in recent years “Salavat Yulaev” beat the Army team twice on their site – in 2019 and 2021. And he won twice in the same period of time. The last meeting of the teams on the ice of CSKA took place on February 3 of this year and ended with the victory of the Moscow club with a score of 4:2.
