Lokomotiv vs. Dynamo Moscow: KHL match betting tip
Lokomotiv and Dynamo will play each other again this season on January 27. Igor Nikitin team has lost two games in a row and does not intend to extend the losing streak. The Muscovites really need points, because they continue to fight for the second place in the West and are currently in third place. The teams have already met twice in the current regular season and the capital club has earned points both times. Will they succeed in Yaroslavl? We tell you about this in the betting tip
Command Analysis
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lokomotiv holds the lead in the West and in the entire league. The team coached by Igor Nikitin earned 78 points in 50 games and is 15 points ahead of second-place Severstal, which has played one game less. The Yaroslavl team started the new calendar year strongly and produced a series of six victories in a row. They began their road trip with successes in Novosibirsk (3:2, B) and Astana (3:0). After that, Alexander Elesin team went to St. Petersburg (2:5), where they lost to SKA. Having received a little time to rest, the railroad workers were very close to success in the match against Spartak and were leading by two goals during the confrontation (2:4). The Volga team conceded two goals in the second and third periods and did not come up with anything in attack.
Alexey Melnichuk has temporarily become the main goalkeeper of the best team in the league, because Daniil Isaev was injured in the game against Spartak in Yaroslavl. The goalkeeper completely failed in the match against SKA and let in five goals, and then they let in four times in Moscow, although this season he has a good indicator for reflected shots - 91.12%. Vasily Koshechkin son, Maxim Mayorov, may well get his chance. The young talent has already appeared on the ice in Astana and made the first shutout in his KHL career.
Artur Kayumov took sole leadership in the club list of scorers. The forward scored 35 points (17+18) in the goal+pass system and slightly broke away from Maxim Berezkin (12+21), who had been the best forward in the visiting team for a long time. Both did not make effective actions in the match against Spartak, and Nikita Kiryanov showed himself better than others.
Disqualifications and injuries
Daniil Isaev and Alexander Elesin will not be able to help their partners in the game against the Muscovites.

HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Dynamo players started the new calendar year very strongly and rose to the second line in the conference, having overtaken all key competitors. The capital club has 63 points after 48 starts and the white-blues clearly do not intend to slow down. Severstal is on their tail, which has the same number of points and in addition to it, four more teams are within four points. The Dynamo players were unable to complete the home series of matches with a victory, having lost to Sochi (1:3). The current away game for Dynamo began with victories in St. Petersburg (5:3) and Nizhny Novgorod (4:1). The visitors completely controlled the course of the meeting against Torpedo and finished off the Gorky team in the third period.
Nikita Gusev has only scored one point in the previous four games, but this did not prevent the team from winning. The forward and captain of Dynamo is still in the top five scorers of the league with 44 points (16+28) in the goal+pass system. In addition to him, Maxime Comtois and Jordan Weale can be singled out. The legionnaires earned 36 and 34 points respectively.
Vladislav Pod'yapolsky became the new main goalkeeper of the visitors after his transfer from Lada. The goalkeeper played five matches for his new club in January and helped his partners win all of them. In seven games, the goalkeeper made one shutout and reflected 95.31% of shots. Maksim Motorygin has sat on the bench for now and is unlikely to be able to displace the newcomer from the starting lineup.

Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In four out of six matches involving Lokomotiv, the first period was productive
2.15Bet 3rd period: Dynamo will score
Lokomotiv have conceded in the third period in five of their last six games
1.78Tip and bets
Lokomotiv slowed down after a strong start to the year and deservedly lost the previous two matches. Yaroslavl was left without its main goalkeeper, and Alexey Melnichuk clearly does not show the level of play that Daniil Isaev demonstrated. The railway workers cannot compensate for defensive mistakes with strong offensive actions and are unlikely to score many goals against Dynamo. The visitors now have one of the best goalkeepers in the league, and the Muscovites' attack line is steadily gaining points. Twice this season, the capital hockey players did not go without points. We think that this time, Alexey Kudashov charges will not lose in regulation time. We offer a bet on the guests' double chance.
Our prediction - Dynamo will not lose for 1.80
Bet on individual total
The blue-and-whites have become more reliable on their half of the court and have conceded only 13 times in the last five games. Lokomotiv, on the other hand, has not shown a high level of efficiency throughout the season and has not been able to score more than two goals in the last two games. We think that the visitors will be able to contain the attack of the steam locomotives and will not allow them to score three times.
Betting Tip - Lokomotiv individual total under 2.5 goals for 1.88
Bet on total
The last match between the teams in Moscow was not productive, and the Yaroslavl team was unable to beat the Dynamo goalkeeper at all. Now the hosts need to concentrate on their actions on their half of the court and make as few mistakes as possible in defense. We believe that the match will not be open and will not please the stands with an abundance of goals.
Betting Tip - total under five goals for 1.62
