KHL
Well well, I rarely go this season with SKA on handicaps etc, cause the odds usually are not worth it. BUT this time I see value here even on road..
Dynamo of course has really quality team also this season. Their leading offensive duo Shipchayov- Kagarlitsky is one of the best duo's in this league, and everything to their team in offensive end. But they are still missing guys like Tarasov and Indrasis who are important offensive players to them, along side with the veteran Afinogenov who is out. I only see their 1st line with the two guys I mentioned to have some piece against SKA and creat something. Also lately (although results haven't been that bad) I see some troubles for Dynamo. I mean teams like Kunlun and Amur outshooted them, and played really close matches with scoring 5 goals total in two matches into their net, and I think Dynamo usually plays good D. Also last match they lost to Vitjaz, and that was a bad result for them.
Well SKA is surely a top-2 team in hole league at the moment. I mean maybe AND maybe only CSKA is better, cause I rank CSKA clearly the best team this season now in 1st part of the season. Not much to say from SKA, best "powerhouse" in this league, team which is able to rest almost every game some of the regulars. BUT now in top game in KHL and kinda "derby" I expect best players to play, including Gusev, Karpov, Datsyuk, Prohorkin, Hersley, Yakupov etc..
Also I like SKA this season in these kinda games, cause we know that they will play with their best force and take it really seriously in one of the top games in hole league! SKA has won both meetings this season with results 3-2 and 4-0.
