Kunlun remains the main outsider in the Western Conference this season. The Chinese club won only two games in seven rounds, and even those were against Sochi and Admiral, the weakest teams in the KHL.
After two unexpected defeats against Bars and Severstal, CSKA pulled themselves together, winning the next three meetings. The departure of the international players from the KHL did not particularly affect the Moscow club. The team has a strong enough lineup to claim victory this season.
Although Kunlun lost only once in four home games in regulation time, the team had simple opponents (Amur, Sochi, Admiral, Sibir). One of the strongest teams in the conference is coming to them today, so we don't think the hosts have a chance.
Our prediction: CSKA Moscow to win. We recommend the "2 Win" bet, odds 1.42
