Lokomotiv - Avangard: betting tip for the KHL match

Current form

Throughout the regular season, Lokomotiv demonstrated excellent play and consistently achieved success, which allowed it to remain the leader in the Western Conference table and reach the playoffs against the weakest opponent, which was Torpedo. Yaroslavl players throughout the regular season were distinguished by their excellent defensive line, which they continued to show in the Gagarin Cup. The railwaymen began the series playing at their home arena, where they conceded only one goal in two matches, winning 3-1 and 2-0, respectively.

Many expected that difficulties might arise when visiting Nikitin's wards, but this did not happen. Loko left no chance for Nizhny Novgorod in his first away match, showing himself not only defensively, but also offensively, scoring four goals and winning with a score of 4:2. Once again, the striker of the first link, Kayumov, scored a double and gave an assist. The fourth and final Victoria turned out to be a little more difficult to get. The opponent made every effort and created pressure throughout the match, but goalkeeper Isaev was as reliable as possible, which allowed him to gain the upper hand in regular time (2:1).
