Lokomotiv continues to be the leader of its conference and is gradually gaining a foothold on the first line in the West. The team led by Bob Hartley has 73 points in its piggy bank after 53 matches and is slightly ahead of Severstal, which scored three points less. The railwaymen suffered a recession at the end of the year and lost only three matches in January.

In the duel against the Southerners, the Yaroslavl team failed to break through the opponent's goalkeeper for a long time, and at the first break the teams left with zeros on the scoreboard. In the second 20 minutes, the hosts turned on the fifth gear and scored three goals in a row. Ilya Nikolaev scored in the minority, and then Artur Kayumov and Maxim Shalunov set the final score in the protocol.
Alexander Radulov remains the top scorer of Loko. The veteran scored 44 points (20+24) in the goal+pass system.

Spartak has been at the bottom of the Western table for quite a long time, but now the team from Moscow has risen to the sixth place in the conference. Alexey Zhamnov's team scored 62 points in 51 games and have one match left to beat CSKA. The Red and white have been performing well since the start of the new year and suffered only three defeats in January. At the end of the home series, they beat Lada (6:2) and SKA (4:0), and on the road they already earned two important points in Cherepovets in a duel against local Severstal (5:1).
The capital club went ahead in the Vologda region from the very first minutes and it quickly bore fruit. Nikita Korostelev, Joey Keen and Danil Pivchulin scored goals in the opening period, giving their team a comfortable advantage. The opponent scored one goal in the second period, but in the third 20 minutes Brendan Biro and German Rubtsov put the squeeze on the Steelworkers.

1.57Tip and bets
Lokomotiv dealt with the outsiders of the conference quite easily, but it cannot be said that the hosts defeated their opponents. The Railwaymen haven't scored too many goals lately and mostly win thanks to solid defensive play. Spartak is in great shape and has started to miss a lot less. We think that Muscovites will be able to catch on to the result at Arena 2000.
Prediction - Spartak will win with an Asian handicap (+1) on goals in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
For the past nine consecutive matches, Lokomotiv has been unable to score more than three goals per match, playing with a constant eye on its own goal. With the arrival of Alexander Georgiev, Spartak stopped missing in large numbers and now the guests are in excellent shape. We think that the match will be tough and the hosts will not be able to score more than two or three goals.
We bet on the individual total of the Locomotive less than three goals for 1.75
