Lokomotiv - Avangard: betting tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Lokomotiv has risen to the first place in the West and will definitely not fall below the second place in the conference. Yaroslavl have earned 52 points in 38 matches and are currently three points ahead of Dinamo Minsk, but the Bison have as many as four meetings in reserve. The railwaymen had a rather weak second half of November and often lost, but they got into good shape before the break. The locomotives beat Amur (3:0) and Admiral (3:1) on the road, and after a pause they achieved success in home matches against Dinamo Minsk (3:2, B) and CSKA (2:1, B).

Bob Hartley's team strangled the Army team in the first period of the game with the Muscovites and Maxim Shalunov was able to score the puck in the opening segment of the confrontation. In the second period, the hosts failed in defense and conceded, and after that the game became completely positional and did not give the stands a large number of scoring chances. In the shootout, Alexander Radulov and Artur Kayumov made their attempts, and Daniil Isaev managed two shots from CSKA players.

Alexander Radulov retains the role of the leader of the Loko attack. The forward scored 35 points (17+18) in the goal+pass system.

Only Andrey Sergeev will not play in the upcoming match.

Omsk have earned 47 points in 34 starts and are only three points behind Ak Bars, with four meetings in reserve. In mid-November, the team led by Guy Boucher gained excellent form and lost only two games from the 10th. The Hawks confidently beat Sochi (5:2) and Spartak (7:5) before the break, but after the break they lost in Novosibirsk (2:4). A day later, Damir Sharipzyanov's squad beat Neftekhimik dry (3:0).

Andrey Blazhievsky scored the puck at the very beginning of the game against Nizhnekamsk and led his team ahead. Nikolai Prokhorkin doubled the visitors' advantage in the middle of the first period, and Konstantin Okulov made the score big on the scoreboard even before the break. The Siberians turned down the pressure and tried to play reliably on their half of the ice, so Nikita Serebryakov managed to form a shutout.
