Command Analysis
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lokomotiv completes the regular season as the sole leader of its conference table and the main contender for the Continental Cup. The railwaymen scored 93 points in 63 starts and are ahead of Dynamo Moscow by a wide margin, who earned ten points less. Igor Nikitin's team did not rest on their laurels at the end of the regular season and is still actively gaining points. The locomotives have lost only three times since February 12 and looked very decent at the beginning of spring. In the last away series, they confidently beat Sochi (4:2) and Severstal (5:0), but missed the victory over Dynamo in Moscow (3:5).
Despite Maxim Shalunov's injury, Alexander Yelesin's squad has been playing well offensively lately and has scored at least three goals in four out of six matches. On average, the hosts score only 2.79 goals per season and play defensively. Loko's top scorer Artur Kayumov broke away from the competition and scored 42 points (21+21) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Maxim Shalunov is still in the hospital with the owners.
Interesting betting trends
- Lokomotiv blocks 14 shots per match on average.
- Yaroslavl players make 9% of their shots.
Severstal Cherepovets
Russian FederationCurrent form
Severstal fought for the second place in the conference, but could not stand the competition and dropped to sixth place in the Western table. The Cherepovets team has 75 points in its piggy bank after 62 matches and intends to at least stay in its current positions and not fall even lower. The Steelworkers are in very bad shape and have lost four out of five meetings. They looked weak in the home series and lost to Torpedo (2:3) and Lokomotiv (0:5), beating only Vityaz (3:0). The departure began for Andrey Kozyrev's team with a defeat in Chelyabinsk (1:5).
The guests are unable to set up an attacking game and in the last five matches they have managed to score only seven times, with three goals going to the gates of the heroes from Balashikha. The team's leaders have lost their form and haven't been scoring many points lately, Daniil Aimurzin (29+25) and Kirill Pilipenko (29+24) are still among the top ten scorers in the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yaroslav Dyblenko and Artem Shchuchinov will not take part in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Severstal earns 4.87 penalty minutes per match.
- The Steelworkers score 2.84 goals on average.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks

1.68Bet 2nd period: Lokomotiv will score
The Railwaymen scored in the third period in four out of five games.
1.40Tip and bets
Lokomotiv does not intend to slow down and continues to score points without serious tournament motivation. Igor Nikitin's men have been playing well offensively lately and rarely fail defensively. Severstal has stopped scoring at all, while the guests constantly make mistakes in their half of the court, and the goalkeepers of the steelworkers do not help their partners out. The teams have already met with each other several times this season, and the railroad workers did not give the black and yellow a single chance. We think they can win on their own ice on Monday. We are betting on the victory of the hosts in regular time.
Our betting tip is that Lokomotiv will win in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Severstal has been playing very poorly offensively since the end of winter and has scored few goals. Lokomotiv remains the most reliable team in the conference, while Daniil Isaev, who is deservedly considered one of the best goalkeepers in the league, has now returned to service. In the last two games between the rivals, the Steelworkers were able to score only one goal. We don't expect anything more from the guests.
The betting tip is Severstal's individual total of less than two goals in 1.63
Bet on the total
Lokomotiv always plays strictly from defense, so the hosts don't have many productive matches this season. Severstal has stopped showing its former speed in attack, and the guest leaders are not in the best shape. In two matches in Cherepovets, Yaroslavl single-handedly broke through all the totals, but now we are waiting for a more relaxed match. Let's place a bet on the total less.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.57
