Avangard has been underperforming so far this season, the team has only 8 wins after 22 games. With these results, Avangard is at risk of not making the playoffs at all, although the KHL season has just started, there is still time, but the situation still needs to be corrected.
SKA is in a serious slump right now - 4 losses in a row, and in recent games the team played against clear outsiders (Sochi and Kunlun). And the players and fans haven't forgotten the last trip to Omsk, a game Avangard won 9-5.
We expect a lot of pucks today, Avangard needs points now, and SKA is not going to prolong its bad streak.
Prediction: at least 5 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 4.5" bet, odds 1.5
