Severstal is a Locomotive. Betting Tip (cf. 1.80) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Severstal is in excellent shape and now the team led by Andrey Kozyrev is one step away from the first place in the West. The Steelworkers scored 42 points in 31 games and are just one point behind Lokomotiv, which played one more match than the hosts. The Cherepovets team gained momentum back in early October and have lost only five matches since then. In the second half of November, black and yellow play exclusively at home. They have already beaten CSKA (4:3, OT), Dinamo Minsk (4:2), Admiral (3:2, OT) and Lada (2:0). In the last game, Adam Lishka's squad could not cope with the pressure of SKA (4:6).

The game against the Army started with a fast puck into the opponent's goal by Vladimir Grudinin, but by the end of the first period, the Steelers were losing in the score. Alexander Skorenov made the most at the start of the second 20 minutes, but Severstal missed twice within 15 minutes. Ilya Ivantsov and Giannis Kaldis restored the balance in the score, scored two goals within a minute. In the third period, the hosts were again unreliable in defense and deservedly lost.

Ruslan Abrosimov remains the top scorer in his team. The forward scored 26 goals (15+11).

Disqualifications and injuries

Ilya Kvochko, Makar Fomin and Vladislav Tsitsyura will not be able to help their team in the upcoming meeting.

Current form

For a long time, Lokomotiv was the undisputed leader in the West, but now Yaroslavl will definitely lose the first place in the conference. The railwaymen have 43 points in their piggy bank after 32 starts and they are only two points ahead of Dinamo Minsk, which has as many as three meetings in reserve. Bob Hartley's team was good during the fall, but they are not able to show strong results in November. The Steam Locomotives lost in five of the previous eight matches, while they had a terrible last home series of games. Alexander Yelesin's squad lost to Barys (0:4), beat Salavat Yulaev (4:3, OT), and then lost to Shanghai Dragons (3:4, OT) and Amur (4:6). After defeating Siberia (4:1), the Volga team went on the road and immediately lost to Dynamo in Moscow (0:1).

In the Russian capital, Loko's game didn't go well from the very first minutes. Yaroslavl players moved away a lot and paid for it in the middle of the first leg of the match. The team from the capital of the Golden Ring could not throw the opponent in any of the periods, although almost the entire match was in the role of catching up. Discipline has failed the reigning KHL champion again, and this is no longer an accident.

Alexander Radulov ranks fifth in the list of the league's top scorers. The veteran scored 33 points (15+18) in the goal+pass system.

Disqualifications and injuries

Andrey Sergeev will not help his partners in Cherepovets.

Interesting betting trends
