Avangard vs. Lokomotiv: Blinov Cup Match Prediction
On August 23, there will be a duel between Avangard and Lokomotiv. The Omsk team has already played two matches in this tournament, winning one of them. They probably remember how they lost to Loko in the playoffs. In addition, the Yaroslavl team is undefeated and leads the championship table. Will the Railwaymen be able to maintain their leadership? Or will the Hawks be able to take revenge for the defeat in the series? You will find out from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard suffered a defeat in the opening game against Traktor (2:5), showing a lackluster performance. In the next match against Barys, the team looked better and even had a comfortable three-goal advantage, but lost absolutely everything at the end of the second and beginning of the third periods. Nevertheless, thanks to a goal by Cole Cassels in overtime, Zvyagin's team celebrated success.
In general, the "hawks" have few leaders left who are capable of taking the game upon themselves, so they may have difficulties with the attack. At the same time, we note that "Avangard" made good use of the numerical advantage and has already managed to score three goals in the 5x4 format.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Avangard makes 19 power moves per match
- According to statistics, Omsk players make at least 30 shots per game
Estimated composition
Berdin, Proskuryakov, Koledov, Dietz, Chmykhov, Chistyakov, Stepanov, Murylev, Boykov, Perevalov, Nikolishin, Filatyev, Igumnov, Manin, Cassels, Zlodeev, Verba, Makeev, Martynov, Belyaev, Yaremchuk, Kholodilin
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lokomotiv has so far managed to avoid defeats in this tournament. The team managed to deal with Sibir (2:0) in the first match, and then proved its superiority over Traktor with a score of 5:4 in a shootout. By the way, in the confrontation with Chelyabinsk, Yaroslavl could have won in regular time, but lost a two-goal advantage literally a couple of minutes before the siren.
Usually, the "railwaymen" are distinguished by their extremely reliable game in defense and do not allow their opponents to score more than one or two goals. However, Nikitin's team significantly lacked attack last season, so fans hope that the specialist will find a solution to the problem.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lokomotiv wins an average of 56.7% of faceoffs per game
- Yaroslavl players perform 17 power moves per game
Estimated composition
Isaev, Melnichuk, Elesin, Akmaldinov, Labutkin, Simashev, Kozhevnikov, Ulyev, Cherepanov, Kiryanov, Nikulin, Yabelov, Likhachev, But, Kraskovsky, Surin, Berezkin, Shalunov, Tesanov, Polunin, Alekseev, Volkov
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was unscoring
1.70Bet 2nd period: Yaroslavl will score
In the last three matches, Yaroslavl scored in the second period
1.55Tip and bets
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this match, since the teams are approximately equal in level. However, Lokomotiv looks livelier and more interesting than its opponent. Avangard has previously experienced many problems in defense, and the Railwaymen, on the contrary, are famous for their ability to play defense.
Stylistically, Igor Nikitin's team is very inconvenient for the "hawks", so most of the previous matches against the Omsk team ended in their favor. Based on this, in the upcoming match we also suggest betting on the success of "Loko".
Betting Tip - Lokomotiv win in 2.25
Bet on total
Matches involving Lokomotiv are often not very spectacular and are held with a minimum number of goals scored. Many face-to-face meetings between the clubs also end with less than five goals. The Railwaymen play extremely closed hockey, so it makes sense to bet on the total under.
We bet on a total of less than five goals for 1.82
