Command Analysis
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
Throughout the season, Lokomotiv was the undisputed leader of both the Western Conference and the entire championship. The team showed excellent results and even came to the playoffs in good shape. In the first series, Yaroslavl defeated Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo (4-0) without any problems in the class, completing all the matches of that series in regular time.
In that confrontation, the railwaymen, as always, impressed with their perfect defensive game and managed no more than one or two missed goals, but in the first match with Avangard they had a hard time. Then Igor Nikitin's squad also tried to act as the first number and, with the support of the home stands, go on the attack, but everything seemed in vain, and in the end they lost with a score of 1:4.
At the same time, Yaroslavl scored their only goal in the 5x4 format, and in equal formations they failed to open the opponent's defense. At a press conference, the coach stated that there were individual mistakes and said that the team needed to rebuild for the second match of the series.

Interesting betting trends

Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard completely and completely failed the first half of the season, and at some point it seemed that the team could remain outside the playoff zone altogether. However, with the arrival of Guy Boucher as head coach, the situation began to improve. At the end of the regular season, Omsk improved significantly and began to win match after match, so it was perfectly clear that they were direct competitors for the current Gagarin Cup winner.
The hawks defeated Magnitogorsk Metallurg with a score of 4:2, and now they have taken on the regular season champion. Of course, the team is in a great mood right now, because they are doing absolutely everything on the ice. She makes great use of her moments and manages to work well in her own zone. In addition, Nikita Serebryakov, the goalkeeper, is doing a great job with his duties, who even parried 32 shots in the last match.
Nevertheless, the head coach of the club noted that the series would still be difficult and praised the opponent, saying that he had no weaknesses. Of course, whether Bush was lying or not, we will find out after the end of this confrontation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Boikov and Stepanov are still unable to help their team.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Avangard makes 30 shots on target.
- Omsk wins 53.1% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.50Bet 2nd period: the guests will score
In the last three matches against Yaroslavl, Omsk scored in the second leg.
1.85Tip and bets
We think that Avangard will cause serious trouble to his opponent in the upcoming match. Lokomotiv turned out to be completely unprepared for such pressure from the opponent in the first game. Yaroslavl, of course, will act even more carefully than in the opening match, but it is far from certain that they will be able to succeed within 60 minutes. It's not easy for the railwaymen to play matches against Omsk this season, so it makes sense to bet on the success of the guests with a head start.
Prediction - the victory of the Avant-garde with an Asian handicap (+1) on goals in 1.62
Betting on an individual total
In the previous match, Lokomotiv was able to score only one abandoned goal. By the way, in the previous three out of four meetings, Yaroslavl did not differ by more than two goals scored. The vanguard completely rebuilt itself and began to work extremely reliably in its zone. That is why, in most cases, Omsk residents manage with two or fewer missed pucks.
We bet on the individual total of the Locomotive less than 2.5 washers for 1.78
Bet on the total total
We don't expect to see a lot of goals in this match. Lokomotiv operates exclusively in a closed style at the home arena and does not pamper its fans with a huge number of abandoned goals. Yaroslavl after the defeat, in general, will not allow the opponent to create a large number of chances at their own goal, however, they themselves are unlikely to score a lot in such a game.
We take a total of less than 4.5 goals for 1.75
