Traktor - Lokomotiv: betting tip for the KHL match

Current form

It seemed that the Tractor approached the Gagarin Cup final in peak form, but in the series with the Locomotive, the team is experiencing serious problems. In the first match, the bears wrested Victoria away from Yaroslavl with great difficulty, playing on the road with a minimum advantage of one goal (2:1). The success was achieved mainly due to the excellent play of goalkeeper Fukale, who deflected 33 shots out of 34. However, Chelyabinsk suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1 in the second leg.:4. This time, the club's defensive line played even worse, allowing the opponent to create a huge number of dangerous chances at their own goal.

Having returned to the home arena, Traktor was supposed to rehabilitate himself in front of the fans and regain the advantage in the series, but this did not happen. The team again played very poorly defensively and this time conceded five goals, losing with a score of 2:5. This time, Fucale failed his main task, deflecting only 87% of the shots.

Current form

Lokomotiv initially acted as one of the main contenders for the Gagarin Cup. Last season, the team had every chance to earn the coveted trophy, but unexpectedly showed a terrible performance in the final series against Metallurg. This time, the Yaroslavl team has clearly prepared for the decisive series much better, which is shown in every duel with a Tractor. Indeed, the opening match was not very successful, especially in terms of the implementation of the moments in the attack, which led to a defeat (1:2). But on the other hand, in the next match, the railwaymen showed everything they were capable of, playing reliably in defense, as well as realizing themselves to the fullest, thereby defeating the bears (4:1).

It seemed that the team might have difficulties visiting, but this did not happen. Yes, Loko did not play as actively in the attack, but this did not prevent him from defeating Traktor again (5:2). In particular, it is worth praising striker Kayumov, who scored a double.

Disqualifications and injuries

Semyon Nikulin is still in doubt.
