Avangard - Lokomotiv: betting tip for the KHL match
On April 21, Lokomotiv will try to complete the series against Avangard in Omsk. Igor Nikitin's team missed the opportunity to put the squeeze on their opponent on their ice and will try to do it in Siberia. Damir Sharipzyanov's squad lost all the games in their home arena in the second round of the playoffs and now has no right to make mistakes. Will the hosts be able to even the score in this confrontation? Or will Yaroslavl residents go further? Read about this in the betting tip for the match
Command Analysis
Avangard Omsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Avangard failed in the first half of the season, which is why it was able to reach the playoffs only from sixth place in the East. Omsk changed their coach during the regular season and Canadian Guy Boucher, who has management experience in the NHL, became the new mentor of the hosts. The Hawks had a strong winning streak at the end of the regular season, but they never managed to rise above sixth place in the conference. In the first round of the playoffs, the Siberians faced the current Gagarin Cup winner. The Steelworkers could have won, but Damir Sharipzyanov's squad did not let go of the opponent, leading 3-0 during the series.
In the quarterfinals, the Omsk team went to Lokomotiv, which won the Continental Cup. Last season, Avangard crashed out of the playoffs just after a series against Yaroslavl. The team from Siberia started with a victory on the road, but then lost in the capital of the Golden Ring and lost both meetings on their own ice. Omsk residents were able to achieve success in the last away game and can now return the opposition to Arena 2000 if they manage to win at the G-Drive Arena.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sergei Boikov and Daniil Stepanov remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
From the very beginning of the season, Lokomotiv was among the leaders of the conference and the entire league as a whole. Yaroslavl players only increased their advantage over their competitors and by the second half of the regular season they had pulled away from their rivals by more than ten scoring points. It was not a big problem for the guests to hold the first place in the overall KHL table, so the Railwaymen won the Continental Cup for the first time in their history. They were extremely stable throughout the championship and did not allow themselves to relax.
In the first round of the playoffs, Igor Nikitin's team faced Torpedo, which took eighth place in the West. The Volzhans won their matches at home without any problems and put the squeeze on Igor Larionov's team in Nizhny Novgorod. In the quarterfinals, the team from Yaroslavl met with Avangard and started with a defeat, but then won three matches in a row and missed the opportunity to finish the series with the support of their native stands.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Semyon Nikulin remains in the infirmary at the Locomotive.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Loko concedes 1.67 goals per match.
- Yaroslavl team wins 59.7% of face-offs

1.60Tip and bets
After losing the first match of the series, Lokomotiv seized the initiative and did not allow the opponent to create chances in attack. Yaroslavl residents look great in terms of physics and are simply better prepared. Omsk lost both matches at home and could not cope with the defense of the Volga Region. Igor Nikitin's players hardly want to return home to play at number seven. We think that this confrontation will end in Omsk this Monday. We offer a bet on the victory of the guests, taking into account the extra time.
Our betting tip is that Lokomotiv will win the match in 1.83
Betting on an individual total
In this episode, the Vanguard does not succeed in attacking. Only in the games in Yaroslavl did Omsk manage to score at least three goals against Daniil Isaev. We believe that Lokomotiv will once again be very good in their zone and will not allow the opponent to score three times. Let's place a bet on the individual total of the first one less.
The betting tip is that the Avangard's individual total is less than 2.5 goals in 1.65 seconds.
Bet on the total
The matches between the teams are quite productive, but gradually hockey is becoming more and more closed. Neither side wants to take the risk and go on the attack without looking at their own goal. We think that the opponents will try to play as reliably as possible and the match will not be bright. We're betting on a total of fewer goals.
The betting tip is a total of less than 4.5 goals in 2.00
