Command Analysis

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl

Current form
Once again, the Locomotive had an unsuccessful start in the series. Recall that in the quarterfinals, Igor Nikitin's protégés also unsuccessfully played their first match on their ice against Avangard. The series then turned out to be tense, and the railwaymen were able to win it with a minimum score of 4:3. It also happened in the semifinals with Ufa's Salavat Yulaev, but after losing the first match, the players rallied and won four matches in a row. And now, in the final of the playoffs, history repeats itself, and now a lot will depend on how the team plays the second match and whether it will be possible to go to the away games without losing in the series with a difference of two matches.
Disqualifications and injuries

Traktor

Current form
Traktor is closer than ever to its first Gagarin Cup triumph in the club's history. The team is currently in great shape. In the last 14 meetings, the team has lost only twice. The interesting thing is that the hardest part of the team was the 1/8 series against Admiral. Two matches were lost in it. In the quarterfinals and semifinals, Ben Gru's team gave their rivals only one victory each. Now we've managed to get off to a great start in the finals of the tournament, beating Lokomotiv 2-1 on the road. The team is very well-coordinated in both defense and defense, and, of course, the advantage is that there are no injured players in the team. Despite such outstanding performance, bookmakers still put the club up as the underdog in the upcoming match.

1.75Tip and bets
Lokomotiv did not start the final series in the best way, but one should not think that the game of the railwaymen will fall apart because of this. Remember the first match with Avangard, when the owners of the ice arena lost 1-4, but still managed to pull themselves together and win the entire series. It is also impossible to ignore the fact that in all the playoff games, Igor Nikitin's wards won the second match. And on their own ice, the team has not lost two meetings in a row for more than 20 matches. We believe it will not fail this time either.
Our betting tip is that the Locomotive will win with a coefficient of 1.95

Bet on the total
In the final series, both teams demonstrate a cautious and defensive style of play, striving to minimize risks. There is more than one meeting ahead in the series, and hardly anyone will open up and play open hockey. Let's bet that the second match will not be more effective than the first one.
The betting tip is a total of less than 4.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.90
Betting on an individual total
In five of the last six matches, Yaroslavl players scored no more than two goals in front of the local crowd. In the first match against the upcoming opponent, it was generally possible to do this only once. We believe that the second game will not be much more effective than the first, and the hosts will not be able to score more than two goals.
The betting tip is that the individual total of the Locomotive is less than 2.5 goals in 1.90
