Meanwhile, the visitors have been consistently dropping points recently, causing them to slip down the conference standings.

Head-to-head statistics Spartak Moscow - Severstal Cherepovec
Spartak Moscow Team Overview
Aleksey Zhamnov's squad continues to face inconsistency. Since October, the hosts have alternated between impressive victories and outright disappointing performances, struggling to find stability and balance. As a result, the "Red-Whites" are gradually slipping in the standings and could soon find themselves outside the top 8 in the West. The reason for this is clear - the club has already conceded 84 goals, the worst record among the playoff contenders in the conference. If their defensive issues persist, Spartak risk getting caught up in the battle for playoff spots.

Severstal Cherepovec Team Overview
The club from Cherepovets enjoyed a remarkable run in the latter half of October, securing eight consecutive victories. However, those triumphs are now a thing of the past, as the team has suffered three defeats in their last five matches, including two shutouts. While it can't be labeled a full-blown crisis for Andrey Kozyrev's squad, their offensive struggles are clear. Severstal have netted just 75 goals, trailing all Western Conference favorites in this statistic and even their upcoming opponent, despite being higher in the standings.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Spartak: Nikolaev - Keen, Mironov - Pashin, Ruzicka, Todd
Severstal: Samoylov - Kaldis, Gregory - Veryaev, Podshivalov, Dumbadze
🥅 Goalkeepers
Spartak's goaltender Dmitry Nikolaev has had a lackluster season so far. The former SKA player has managed to save only 90% of shots on average and has been blamed for several of the team's losses. His shaky performances are a major reason why the "Red-Whites" concede so many goals.
Severstal's netminder Alexander Samoylov has recently seen a dip in form. The CSKA academy product averages a 90.1% save rate, but this figure has been on the decline. However, he does boast three shutouts to his name.
Editor's Prediction
Both clubs are dealing with their own issues, albeit of different kinds. The "Red and Whites" are making too many mistakes in their own zone and at the back line, while Severstal players have recently struggled to set up positional and fast-paced attacks. In this context, it's worth noting the home team's scoring ability. Alexei Zhamnov's squad has netted at least three goals in six of their last seven head-to-head encounters at home. This trend is consistent and likely to remain relevant. Our bet is on Spartak's individual total over 2.5 goals.No comments
