The progression of the Army derby’s second event in this season nears its conclusion.
In the exciting world of KHL hockey, the upcoming derby between SKA Saint Petersburg and CSKA Moscow is highly anticipated. Both teams are known for their competitive spirit and close contests.
The bookmakers have set the odds for a TM (Total Match) of over 4.5 goals at 1.73, suggesting a high-scoring encounter.
SKA, currently in 5th place in the Western Conference with 34 points, has been in good form recently, going on a four-game winning streak, scoring a total of 17 goals in those matches. Notable victories include a 4-3 win against Traktor, a 4-2 victory over Neftakhimik, and a 4-2 triumph against Ak Bars.
However, SKA's goalie, Ivan Fedotov, who missed the entire previous season, is still not at his optimal form. His substitutes, Alexander Sharichenkov and Dmitry Gamzin, have also shown inconsistency in their performances.
On the other hand, CSKA, ranked one spot below SKA with the same point total of 34, have had their defensive issues this season. Yet, they have been effective in counterattacking hockey, a trait that could prove crucial in the upcoming derby.
CSKA has managed to secure narrow victories in their recent matches, winning 2-1 against Amur and Neftekhimik.
The bookmaker's coefficient for a possible SKA victory is 2.6, while for SKA's victory in regular time, it stands at 2.36. For a CSKA victory, the coefficient is not available at this time.
Both teams are expected to have scoring opportunities in the upcoming derby, as both have shown an ability to convert a large number of shots into goals in their recent matches.
As we approach the match date on November 20, 2025, it is recommended to check official KHL sources, sports news platforms, or betting sites for the latest updates on team form, player injuries, and expert predictions.
