The match will be played in Sochi at the Iceberg Skating Palace complex in Adler, which hosts KHL fixtures on a 60x30m rink, seating approximately 12,000 and featuring modern ice-resurfacing and player facilities; the venue gives Sochi home-ice familiarity but limited capacity compared with top KHL arenas.

Prediction: SKA Saint Petersburg to win (moneyline ~1.70) or SKA -1 on the handicap market; SKA’s special teams and recent away form make them the value pick while Sochi’s recent uptick in expected goals makes the match competitive — back SKA single or a small stake on SKA ML with an alternate bet on over 5.0 total goals if both powerplays stay healthy.
