Lokomotiv - Traktor: betting tip for the KHL match

Current form

Lokomotiv started the final series with Traktor, playing in the home arena, where they were close to success, but had problems with the implementation of attacking chances, which led to a defeat with a difference of one goal (1:2). But in the next match, the team fully rehabilitated itself in front of the fans, defeating the Chelyabinsk team with a score of 4:1. The entire attacking line showed a great game, and in three periods they managed to make 47 shots at the opponent's goal.

Next, the Yaroslavl team went to perform on the road, where they only consolidated their success. In the third match of the series, the team again left no chance for the bears, winning by a three-goal margin (5:2). It is worth noting striker Kayumov, who scored a double. Continuing the guest series, Loko proved its superiority over Tractor for the third time in a row, gaining the upper hand in regular time (3:1). One of the key factors of the club's success is a great game in the middle zone, the players do not allow Chelyabinsk to easily enter the zone, and any mistake can lead to a dangerous counterattack and a missed puck.

Current form

Traktor demonstrated its best hockey in the semifinal series with Dynamo Moscow and easily entered the opponent's zone, holding the puck there until the attack was completed. The club's fans expected the same game from Chelyabinsk in the Gagarin Cup final, but this did not happen. The team is facing the best defense in the league and still can't handle it. Yes, in the opening match, the team with great difficulty retained its advantage and achieved the desired result, but after all the meetings ended in complete failures.

In particular, it is worth noting the second and third matches of the series, in which the bears seemed to be unprepared for fierce competition on the ice and made a lot of mistakes, which the Locomotive consistently used and thereby earned an advantage. In the second match at the home arena, Traktor seemed to have found the key to the opponent's defense, but it was still difficult to keep the puck in the Loko zone, which led to the third defeat in a row. Now the team is just one step away from relegation.

The tractor has no problems with the train right now.
