CSKA
The leaders of the KHL at the beginning of the season presented a spectacle in the form of an army derby. From St. Petersburg, the Moscow army team left with defeat - reigning champions won 4: 2. In the second round, the new coach Nikitin faced another serious exam - a meeting with CSKA offenders in last year's playoffs with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv. The army team managed to take revenge - 1: 1 in regulation time and victory in shootouts. In the next round, CSKA played with another representative of Moscow - Dynamo, which they managed to defeat 6: 1. Nikitin's wards won 2: 1 overtime against Dynamo Minsk. Interestingly, CSKA played eight friendly matches in the offseason and won each of them. Here are the results of some of the army's sparring sessions:
- CSKA Moscow - Lausanne 8: 1;
- CSKA - Servette 3: 0;
- Spartak Moscow - CSKA 0: 3;
- CSKA Moscow - Vityaz Podolsk 2: 1;

Vanguard
Omsk club started well too new season- in three home games, victories were won over Riga Dynamo, Cherepovets Severstal and Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo with scores of 3: 1, 1: 0 and 2: 1, respectively. Surely, the ambitions of Skabelka's charges are not limited to the second round of the playoffs, in which the team stopped last season. Therefore, already in the regular season, Avangard will try to secure the most comfortable place for itself before the games through.

- Vanguard - Cupid 5: 2
- Vanguard - Ugra 4: 1;
- Avangard - Neftekhimik 2: 3;

CSKA
So far, it is difficult to call the start of the army team a successful one, even though three out of four matches ended with their final victories. Muscovites started the season with a severe psychological defeat from SKA in St. Petersburg. In fact, this defeat meant that SKA was the main contender for victory in the regular season, while CSKA was only its closest competitor. The subsequent victory in shootouts in Yaroslavl eased the tension a little, because not everyone can win there, and the victory in the capital over the local Dynamo with a crushing score of 1: 6 practically returned CSKA to its original positions.
But then there was a trip to Minsk, where only more than 5 minutes before the final siren they managed to save themselves from defeat, and then, in the majority, and to throw the final puck in overtime. CSKA is already 4 points behind the leader of SKA, but it should be noted that the Muscovites are just opening a series of matches on their ice, where they look much stronger.
Vanguard
Both rivals have no personnel losses, but the Omsk people started their season more successfully. Perhaps the reason for this is the lighter calendar and the start on their own ice.
Nevertheless, they did not manage to score the maximum points, because Severstal and Torpedo came out on top only in overtime. But Victoria at home over Dinamo Riga (3: 1) and Spartak (4: 2) were much more confident. Nevertheless, Avangard is leading in its conference, only one point ahead of the whole group of teams. It is curious that the Omsk team has the best defense in the League - only 4 goals conceded.
CSKA - Avangard: head-to-head statistics
Last season, the teams exchanged away victories - first in Moscow in overtime, Avangard won - 1: 2, and then the army team took revenge in Omsk - 2: 3. Nevertheless, in 4 of the last five matches in Moscow, CSKA took the upper hand over this rival.
Bookmaker quotes
The favorite of the match is CSKA, whose victory can be bet with a coefficient of 1.58 with quotes for a draw at 4.41, and on the victory of the guests - at 5.02. Approximately equal are considered a handicap of 1 ball, leaning closer to the fact that it will be broken. Total 4 washers are advised to play "for more".
Forecast and rate from the site
CSKA successfully play at home with Avangard. In their debut match on their ice, they will want to dispel the doubts of their fans about their mediocre form, but Avangard will not be able to make such a difficult first exit easily - we expect a confident victory for the hosts.
Igor Nikitin first worked as a head coach in Avangard Omsk, but he didn't manage to stay for a long time in the camp of the hawks. Will you manage to beat the former team?
September 1. 19:30. Hockey. KHL. Regular season. CSKA - Avangard. Stadium "LSK CSKA im. VM Bobrov "(Moscow). Live broadcast on Match TV channel.
The start of CSKA Moscow in the new season turns out to be extremely difficult. The army club won only one victory in regulation time, beating Dynamo MSK. In the matches with Lokomotiv and Minsk Dynamo, the capital's hockey players frankly worked out the result in overtime. Well, the battle for the Opening Cup against the St. Petersburg teammates was lost outright - 2: 4. And is this the main favorite of the Gagarin Cup?
It is clear that Igor Nikitin takes time to convey his thoughts to the hockey players. It is clear that CSKA will definitely improve during the regular season. However, it is already clear that no global reforms have taken place in the game of the army team. The Red-Blues are still playing their own tempo hockey. Only performers have become a higher class, and the choice of hockey players has become large.
Avangard started the championship with a series of home matches. Here Andrey Skabelka's team performed well, gaining 10 points out of 12 possible. The game of "hawks" is also changing before our eyes. Omsk people began to act much more actively in the attack, but with maintaining the same level of discipline. With the arrival of André Petterson, the majority began to work for the "hawks": while the percentage of implementation is 18.2.
Statistics face-to-face meetings indicates the advantage of CSKA. In ten previous duels, the "red-blue" won eight victories in regulation time. The only victoria "hawks" happened back in 2013. CSKA have excellent statistics of the game in home matches: thanks in large part to it, CSKA won three regulars in a row. This time, too, the Leon bookmaker is showing Muscovites as clear favorites.
Nobody argues that the quality of the performers is higher at CSKA. Moreover, the gap remains colossal even after the parting of the army team with Nikita Pivtsakin. However, in terms of the content of hockey, Avangard now looks no worse than the capital's team. Andrey Skabelka's team is trained and patient. At four starting matches The Hawks conceded only four goals, three of them in the minority.
Estimated lineups:
CSKA: Goalkeeper: Ilya Sorokin;
Defenders: Artem Blazhievsky, Igor Ozhiganov, Nikita Pivtsakin, Bogdan Kiselevich, Mikhail Pashnin, Matt Robinson, Nikita Nesterov;
Forwards: Andrey Svetlakov, Sergey Shumakov, Maxim Shalunov, Anton Burdasov, Valery Nichushkin, Konstantin Okulov, Roman Lyubimov, Mikhail Grigorenko, Sergey Andronov, Alexander Popov, Vladimir Zharkov, Jeff Platt, Kirill Kaprizov;
Avangard: Goalkeeper: Dominik Furch;
Defenders: Yunas Anelev, Alexander Osipov, Evgeny Medvedev, Nikita Lisov, Maxim Berezin, Vitaly Menshikov;
Forwards: Dmitry Kugryshev, Semyon Koshelev, Nikolay Lemtyugov, Valentin Pyanov, Ansel Galimov, Andrey Stas, Andre Petterson, Dmitry Maltsev, Ilya Mikheev, Artur Lauta, Dennis Everberg, Kirill Semyonov, Juhan Sundström;
Conclusion:
Avangard will definitely fight CSKA. CSKA have not yet demonstrated even a third of their capabilities. The “red-blues” have especially many difficulties in the attack. If we abstract from the bet on the outcome, we can refer to the total less than 4.5. Both teams are different high level game organizations are rarely removed. And the goalkeepers - Ilya Sorokin and Dominik Furkh - look confident. As a prediction for the CSKA - Avangard match, we recommend TM 4.5 for 1.60 from BC Leon.
Place: LDS CSKA, Moscow.
