Forecast for the KHL match “Spartak” – “Lada”
Both Spartak and Lada are now in excellent shape – in their last five matches, both teams have only one defeat, and the only time the Muscovites lost was to the Tolyatti club. The rivals met each other just a week ago – on November 11 in Tolyatti, Lada was stronger on their ice in the shootout (4:3).
The club from the banks of the Volga is at the moment, perhaps, the main discovery of the current season – experts before the start of the championship called Lada a team of downed pilots, since the roster was assembled mainly from players who had previously been of no use to other clubs. The Togliatti team was predicted to be at the very bottom of the table, but two and a half months after the start of the regular season, Lada ranks second in the Eastern Conference table, second only to Metallurg Magnitogorsk. The successes of the Togliatti team are associated primarily with the name of Oleg Bratash, who had never worked as a head coach in a KHL club before this season, but has now built a successfully working system in a team without bright stars.
Spartak currently shows the most attacking hockey in the entire league. This is confirmed primarily by statistics – the Muscovites scored the most goals and are the only team that has already surpassed the 100-goal mark. The first three of “Spartak” Morozov-Poryadin-Goldobin especially stands out. The latter is now the KHL’s top scorer with 45 points in 31 matches. The Moscow team is led by former coach of the Russian national team Alexey Zhamnov, under whom Spartak is in first place in the Western Conference table, having an equal number of points with another capital club, Dynamo.
Former red-and-white striker Maxim Rybin shared his opinion about the game between Spartak and Lada in a conversation with Lenta.ru: “On the one hand, it’s time to stop being surprised that Lada is so high in the table and has so many who is he beating? On the other hand, if before the start of the season they had told me that this squad of the Tolyatti club, which was assembled at most a couple of months before the start of the championship, would play so smoothly and without slumps, then I would hardly have believed it. “Spartak” is also showing excellent hockey now, so the upcoming meeting between the rivals will have three outcomes. I wouldn’t dare name a favorite in this match.”
