Regular season game KHL SKA – CSKA will take place next Wednesday, January 25. The start of the meeting is scheduled for 19:30 Moscow time. The derby will be broadcast live on the Match TV channel.
Bookmakers’ odds for the match SKA – CSKA
BETCITY analysts consider the hosts of the ice to be a small favorite of the meeting. Their victory in regular time is estimated by the odds 2.34 (% probability). You can bet on the triumph of Muscovites for 3.00 (% probability). Draw result is quoted for 3.50 (% probability).
The triumph of SKA, taking into account overtime and a shootout, is estimated for 1.72 (% probability). In the event of the final victory of CSKA, the bet on such outcomes will be multiplied by the coefficient 2.12 (% probability).
A scoring extravaganza on the banks of the Neva is unlikely to happen: experts do not believe in high performance and predict that teams will score about 4-5 goals. Total set at 4.5 goals with odds 1.90 for less and 1.90 for more.
In addition to the classic options, the bookmaker offers to bet on the fact that a bullet will be appointed in the match. This probability is quoted for 10.00. The option “there will be a mutual removal” also looks interesting for a match of principled rivals, on which you can bet with a tempting odds 2.10.

Before the match
The end of December and the beginning of January turned out to be difficult for the club from St. Petersburg – the team survived the second crisis in this regular season. The first happened in November, when the Neva army team lost 6 times in 8 matches, in the second case they managed to overcome the decline a little faster – 5 failures in 6 games. True, a couple of the lost meetings turned out to be quite painful. For example, no one expected a fiasco in Balashikha, where SKA burned 2:5, bounced back, but still lost to Vityaz in overtime. As for the 1:5 score in Ufa, no additional comments are required.
It was after the defeat in Bashkortostan that the Petersburgers came to their senses, won 6 times in a segment of 7 games, and suffered the only defeat just from army colleagues. However, Roman Rotenberg radiated optimism after the game with CSKA:
“Excellent, combat game from a knife. This is what we need. We did not play for two periods, although we played according to the system. Good lesson, we have the next game. We understand what to add, we understand what needs to be done in order to beat such system teams as CSKA.”
The Moscow army team can be very pleased with the last segment in the performance of the team. Since mid-November, Sergey Fedorov’s team has been showing truly champion results, has never lost more than two times in a row, and to some extent even revived the seemingly hopeless race for SKA – at the moment the rivals are separated by only 8 points. Hockey CSKA is systematic, not always very beautiful, but it consistently brings points. Fedorov’s summary of the same match against a club from St. Petersburg looks exhaustive:
“The guys played in key situations reliably, calmly enough. The guys showed the qualities that we asked of them. The right numbers were superimposed on the right game.”
Forecast for the match SKA – CSKA
Remember the last playoffs – then CSKA was inferior in the course of the series to both SKA and Magnitogorsk, but the Muscovites’ coaching staff proved that they can learn from their mistakes, find weapons even against the most inconvenient opponent and skillfully use them. The same can be said about the army derby this season – Peter took the first two matches, but the next three games have already been left for the capital club. The last victory turned out to be especially convincing, when CSKA was leading 3:0 and 4:1 during the match. Whatever Rotenberg says, he seems to have lost the recipe for victory over CSKA and cannot find it.
Our prediction for the match SKA – CSKA: CSKA win in the match, odds – 2.12.
