Admiral vs. Lokomotiv: KHL Match Prediction

Current form

It might have seemed that Lokomotiv, after a long rise, began a natural decline, as the team stopped earning points. The Yaroslavl team interrupted its winning streak at home, where they hosted Torpedo and suffered an unexpected dry defeat with a score of 0:3. What is especially noteworthy is that the team made a huge number of shots, but none of them reached the target. Few could have expected that the current leader of the Western Conference would repeat such a disastrous result in the second match in a row, but in the match with Moscow Dynamo they again had to lose dry, and with the same score of 0:3. It is worth noting that this time the “railwaymen” played on the road, but this did not prevent them from making twice as many shots as their opponents.

Returning to their home arena, the Yaroslavl team finally showed their attacking potential to the fullest and rehabilitated themselves before the fans, winning a confident victory over Traktor (4:2). Forward Berezkin showed a great game, scoring a hat-trick. The lost points had absolutely no effect on the club position in the Western Conference table, and it continues to remain in first place. Indeed, Lokomotiv has been in excellent shape for too long, which allowed it to earn a significant advantage over its closest competitor.

Disqualifications and injuries

Lokomotiv has absolutely no problems with its roster. All players are in the lineup, and the infirmary remains empty.

Interesting trends for betting
