In their last five outings, they have achieved victories against Nizhny Novgorod (3-2), Sochi (4-0), and Nizhny Novgorod again (3-0), alongside two losses at home against Lokomotiv Yaroslavl (2-3) and Vladivostok (2-4).

Salavat Ufa
Salavat Ufa, positioned fourth with 13 points from 11 games, holds a record of 6 wins, no draws, and 4 losses. Their last five performances illustrate a mixed bag where they lost narrowly to Magnitogorsk (3-4), but secured wins against Spartak Moscow (3-1), and Niznekamsk (2-0). Key highlights include a remarkable match against Barys Astana where they scored 6 goals despite the loss (6-8), demonstrating their offensive capabilities with an average of 3.6 goals scored but also revealing a vulnerability at the back with an average of 2.6 goals conceded.
Head-to-head
Recent head-to-head statistics indicate there have been no prior meetings between CSKA Moscow and Salavat Ufa in the current context, making the upcoming fixtures intriguing, as neither side has recent data to inform their strategies directly against the other.
Key factors
Several elements could be pivotal in determining the outcome of this match. CSKA Moscow's home advantage will be crucial, as they have performed well recently at their venue. Their offense appears relatively consistent, though defensive lapses could be exploited by a clinically attacking Salavat Ufa side. Ufa's ability to score is there; however, their struggle to maintain defensive solidity is apparent, amplifying the threat from the CSKA forwards. Matching statements likely hint towards an open game, with chances expected at both ends.
Prediction
Analyses point toward CSKA Moscow as the primary pick due to their strong current form and home advantage, which should not be underestimated in a season like this. Their scoring average suggests they can put multiple goals past most teams, including Salavat Ufa. Therefore, conditions surrounding home ice combined with Ufa’s defensive frailties could provide CSKA with the winning edge this time around.
CSKA Moscow is favored to win given their current form and home setup against Salavat Ufa, who are grappling with defensive inconsistencies. Anticipate an engaging contest with opportunities arising for both teams.
