In the next round of the KHL, SKA will host Dinamo Riga in St. Petersburg. Let’s evaluate the performance of those teams.
SKA
After 47 matches with 65 points, Ska is third in the Western Conference. Moscow Dynamo, who has the second place, has the same number of points, but the St. Petersburg team has two games in reserve. In the upcoming match, playing with the not-so-strong rival from Riga and the moving to 2nd place in the conference is more than real. SKA does not always succeed in matches with top teams and couldn’t score much. The last game with Dynamo Moscow 1: 1 in the regulation, before that with Metallurg 2: 1, with CSKA 0: 1. And with the teams from the bottom of the tournament tables, Petersburgers play efficiently: with Severstal 5: 2, with Kunlun 4: 1, with Sochi 4: 2.
Dinamo Riga
Riga residents on the road play more modestly with teams of about their peers: with Dynamo Minsk 2: 0, with Vityaz 0: 1, with Severstal 1: 1. They concede a lot with leaders and often lose big. With Jokerit 0: 7, with a torpedo 2: 5, with Salavat Yulayev 0: 5. The next match with St. Petersburg, whose offence is at a reasonable level. Perhaps the residents of Riga will be able to score at least a goal, as often happens in a match with SKA, but the owners of the ice have a considerable advantage.
SKA vs Dinamo Riga prediction
In St. Petersburg, between these teams, a massive total is often recorded. In the last 7 matches in the KHL on SKA ice, the opponents scored 37 goals for each other, which is an average of 5.4 goals per match. In the upcoming game, you can hardly expect grassroots total. We are expecting a hail of goals and a productive game.
