Command Analysis

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl

Current form

The reigning KHL champion cannot yet produce a protracted series of victories, but despite this he is in second position in the Western Conference table. Yaroslavl residents are returning home after a difficult trip, which began with unpleasant defeats from Dragons (1:4) and Neftekhimik (4:5, OT), and in Nizhnekamsk, Alexander Yelesin's squad missed a two-goal advantage. The railwaymen beautifully rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans, defeating Lada in Tolyatti (5:1), and then CSKA in the Russian capital (5:1). Alexander Radulov remains the leader of the hosts with seven points (3+4) in the goal+pass system.

HC Sochi

Current form

Sochi residents hardly expected to make the playoffs before the start of the season, but Vladimir Krikunov's team is clearly ready to fight for its place in the top eight of the conference. The Southerners lost to Spartak in early September (3:4), but then sensationally outplayed Dynamo Moscow (3:2, B) and CSKA Moscow (2:0). The Cats greased the end of the home series of games and lost to Tractor (3:4, OT) and Torpedo (0:3) before the trip to Yaroslavl. Sergey Popov stands out among the guests. The young Sochi forward scored six points in five games (2+4).

Tip and bets

TipLocomotive with a head start (-1.5)

1.86

Lokomotiv stumbled at the start of the last away series, but finished it very strongly. Bob Hartley's team is in a great mood after their victory over CSKA Moscow. Sochi residents look good and have enough time to rest. Nevertheless, it's hard to believe that Southerners will be able to cling to a positive result in Yaroslavl. The railwaymen are much stronger than the cats in terms of composition, and now they are unlikely to lose points in a duel against one of the outsiders of the West. We think that Loko will win by at least two goals.
