After a terrible start to the new season, Vityaz started to pick up their first wins - in the last 5 games, Vityaz has picked up 3 wins (only 1 was in regulation time, though), although it should be noted that Vityaz played against other major KHL underdogs.
Spartak has played well in the last 5 games - 3 clean wins, losing only in overtime to Traktor and a hard fought game to Lokomotiv.
Vityaz managed to pick up only 1 point on home ice this season, Spartak is in pretty good shape right now, so the home team looks like the favourites.
Prediction: Spartak to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.66
