Command Analysis
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Russian FederationCurrent form
The opening series of the playoffs turned out to be an easy ride for Lokomotiv, as the team faced a clear outsider in Torpedo and won without any problems with a final score of 4:1. But the quarterfinals were a real test for Yaroslavl. By the fourth match of the series with Avangard, the team had taken the lead (3:1) and was just one step away from advancing to the next stage, but Omsk gathered their strength and fought back, which obviously no one was ready for. In the final match, the hawks made a comeback again, equalizing the score in the third period, and moved the game to overtime. As a result of two overtimes, the railwaymen still scratched out the hardest victory (3:2).
It seemed that a very difficult mentally and physically series with Avangard would have a bad effect on the club's game in the semifinals, but everything happened exactly the opposite. Loko seemed to have gained strength and won confident victories over and over again in duels with Salavat Yulaev, getting himself a ticket to the Gagarin Cup finals without any problems. In particular, it is worth noting the excellent defense of Yaroslavl, on average they concede only 1.75 goals per match, which is the best indicator among all teams.

Nikulin and Panik are still in doubt.
Interesting betting trends
- The locomotive gets an average of 5.8 minutes of penalty time.

Traktor
Russian FederationCurrent form
Traktor played a great game throughout the regular season and thus confidently held the lead in the Eastern Conference table until the start of the playoffs. As part of the Gagarin Cup, Chelyabinsk continued to delight fans with their hockey and confidently coped with the first opponent in the person of Admiral. There was no doubt that the team would beat the sailors, but in the quarterfinals, the team had to face difficulties, as Dinamo Minsk stood in the way, gaining its peak form. However, this did not bother the bears in any way and they suffered only one defeat in the entire series.
Next, the Gru wards met with Dynamo Moscow, which also did not cause any special problems. In absolutely every match of the series, Traktor showed a much more active game in attack than the opponent, which allowed them to win again with a score of 4:1. Indeed, Chelyabinsk's attacking line is currently the best in the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
The tractor has no problems with the train right now.
Interesting betting trends
- The tractor gets 5.6 minutes of penalty time.
- Chelyabinsk players shoot 36 times on target per game

1.73The goalratein each period is yes
In four face-to-face matches out of five, the teams scored a goal in each period.
1.65Tip and bets
Bookmakers in the upcoming match single out the Locomotive as the clear favorite and give the Tractor a very high coefficient to win. Indeed, the Yaroslavl team will perform at home, where, with the support of the fans, they have a slightly better chance of success, but it should be borne in mind that the club does not always succeed at home. Chelyabinsk residents, in turn, have shown that they are able to confidently cope with any competitors in their path and are quite capable of giving a worthy rebuff to Yaroslavl residents at the start of the series. We believe that the bears, at least, will not lose in the main time.
Our betting tip is that the Tractor will not lose in 1.85
Bet on the total
Traktor is not used to holing up on the defensive and will try to impose open, attacking hockey on Lokomotiv. Given the very powerful attack of the Chelyabinsk team, the Yaroslavl team will definitely not be able to play exclusively from defense, which means that we should expect a large number of abandoned goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 4.5 goals in 1.90
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Lokomotiv consistently shows excellent play at the beginning of the match and earns an early advantage due to this. We believe that the home walls will help the club to win in the opening period.
The betting tip is a victory for Lokomotiv in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.60
