Command Analysis
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
Lokomotiv suffered only one defeat in the entire playoffs. The team lost to Avangard in the opening match with a score of 1:4, after which it pulled itself together and was able to adapt to its counterpart. Yaroslavl returned to a closed style of play and began to play much more reliably in their own zone, thanks to which there were no more than one or two goals in their net in the next three meetings.
In addition, the goalkeeper, Daniil Isaev, is doing a great job with his duties, who even in the last game parried a total of 20 shots. It should be noted that in that match, Igor Nikitin's team celebrated success with a score of 2:1 in overtime. They took great advantage of their chances and scored two goals in equal formations. The club also had two attempts to implement the excess, but did not implement either of them.
However, the club's coach noted at the post-match press conference that Loko did not play his best game and stressed that the team did not win neutral goals, which created problems.
Disqualifications and injuries
Semyon Nikulin will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the Locomotive makes 25 shots on target.
- According to statistics, Yaroslavl wins 59.3% of face-offs.
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard can only take advantage of the opening match. The team in that match was more dynamic and outperformed its opponent in speed. However, it is necessary to take into account the fact that Omsk residents were in good shape after the series with Metallurg, and they did not have as long a break before the series as Lokomotiv had. This, of course, played a role, since subsequently the initiative passed into the hands of the opponent.
Guy Boucher's squad is now in trouble and often has trouble creating and executing moments. In previous matches, she usually scored goals only in unequal squads. Indeed, most of the hawks are playing very well. A lot depends on the legionnaires in the person of Reed Boucher and the rest. By the way, the American forward copes well with the duties assigned to him and has already managed to earn seven points on the goal+ pass system, while scoring four goals.
We emphasize that Avangard is counting most of all on the second game period, in which it currently has an 11:8 ratio in terms of goals scored and conceded in this playoff, so it usually feels comfortable playing on the far benches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Boikov and Stepanov will miss the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Avangard makes an average of 27 shots on target.
- Omsk residents receive 7.6 minutes of penalty time.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In the last four matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.52Bid for the 2nd period: The hosts will score
In the last four matches, Yaroslavl scored goals in the second leg.
1.57Tip and bets
We think that in the upcoming match, Lokomotiv will be able to prove its superiority over its opponent and close the series at home. Yaroslavl residents now feel extremely confident in their confrontation with Omsk and dictate their conditions on the ice. The railwaymen played all three previous matches at a high level and played much better than in the first meeting. We think that the guests have little chance of a favorable outcome.
Betting Tip - victory of the Locomotive in 1.95
Betting on an individual total
In previous matches, Omsk players remained, as a rule, with the minimum number of goals scored. In the last three matches, the Hawks did not open the opponent's defense more than twice. Yaroslavl players themselves demonstrated a great defensive game and did not allow them to create many dangerous chances at their own goal. Plus, Daniil Isaev was as reliable as possible.
We're betting on the Avangard's individual total of less than two goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
We do not expect a large number of abandoned goals in this confrontation. Lokomotiv will probably play in a closed style and try to miss as little as possible. In addition, the hosts themselves are not particularly effective and prefer to maintain a minimal advantage in the score until the very end. Based on this, we suggest betting on a total of less.
We take a total of less than 4.5 goals for 1.75
