Command Analysis

HC Dynamo Moscow

Russian Federation

Current form

Dynamo finishes the regular season in second place in the conference, having won the competition from key rivals in the West. Alexey Kudashov's team scored 89 points and will definitely not drop below second place. Muscovites had a very weak first part of the season and lost a lot of points in the fall. They managed to improve in all aspects, so now the blue and white team is deservedly one of the contenders for the Gagarin Cup. The hosts are in good shape right now and have lost only one match since February 21st. After returning home, Igor Ozhiganov's squad beat Avangard (4:3, OT).

The capital's hockey players have improved in terms of reliability and are conceding only 2.42 goals per game this season. Dynamo signed Vladislav Podyapolsky, but there is a feeling that Maxim Motorygin, who has performed well in recent games, will start the playoffs. The young goalkeeper reflected 92.80% and made four shutouts in 41 matches.

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl

Russian Federation

Current form

Lokomotiv played better than others throughout the season and won the Continental Cup. Yaroslavl won a trophy for the first time in its history in the KHL and intend to bring the main prize of the championship to the capital of the Golden Ring. The team led by Igor Nikitin has exactly one hundred points in its piggy bank after 67 starts and did not give up momentum after winning in the West. In March, the visitors did not always manage to win and the Railwaymen lost three points in the last seven games. At the start of the away series, Alexander Yelesin's team confidently beat CSKA (3:1) in the capital of the country.

The Steam Locomotives remain the most reliable team in the league, conceding only 1.81 per game on average. Daniil Isaev has been back in action for a long time after his injury and continues to gain form. The goalkeeper played eight games to zero in the current regular season, reflecting 92.42% of attacks on his possessions. Alexey Melnichuk got quite a lot of playing time in the new calendar year, but failed to impress the Loko coaching staff.

Tip and bets

1.9Locomotive with a head start (0)

The locomotive has already completed the task of regular service, and it has done it for a long time. Nevertheless, the Yaroslavl team has not stopped playing and continues to prepare for the final part of the season. The head coach of the guests said that in the matches against CSKA and Dynamo he would not give the leaders a rest, but would try to play the right combinations for the matches through and through. Dynamo is in great shape, but the blue and white team doesn't look as convincing against the opponent. The Muscovites have beaten the Railwaymen three times this season, but we believe that Alexander Yelesin's team will even the score in terms of wins. We offer a bet on Victoria the second with a handicap of zero.

Prediction - Locomotive wins with Asian handicap (0) in 1.90

1.57IT Dynamo is less than 2.5 washers

Betting on an individual total

Dynamo is playing well on someone else's half of the ice, but now the most reliable team in the league is coming to visit Alexey Kudashov's wards. There is no doubt that Daniil Isaev, who still needs game practice after returning from the infirmary, will defend the visitors' goal again. We do not think that the hosts will be able to distinguish themselves more than twice.

We bet on Dynamo's individual total of less than 2.5 washers with a coefficient of 1.57

Bet on the total total

The matches between the rivals this season turned out to be interesting, but they were not always productive. In the last game, the teams scored eight accurate shots for two, but most of them came at the end. Right now, neither side has any serious motivation, so we are not looking forward to bright hockey in Moscow this Friday. Let's place a bet on the total less.

We take a total of less than five goals for 1.52
