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

Command Analysis

Current form
Severstal is in third place in the Western Conference and has earned a total of 80 points. The team has firmly established itself in the top three and is ahead of its closest competitors by at least four points. However, all the victories over the past month have been difficult for her. As a rule, residents of Cherepovets achieve success only outside of regular time or do it with a minimal difference in the score, since they themselves began to score quite a bit.
It should be noted that Andrei Kozyrev's team has not been stable lately. So, the steelworkers lost on the road to Tractor (2:5), then defeated Barys (3:2 OT), and after a great victory over Metallurg (4:3 OT) they returned to their home arena, where they still lost to Torpedo with a score of 1:2. By the way, the Cherepovets team scored the only goal in the 5x4 format in the confrontation with Nizhny Novgorod, and in equal formations they could not offer their opponent anything in attack, although they scored a total of 37 shots.

Current form
As in the previous season, Lokomotiv can finish the regular season in the first position of the Western Conference. The team has already decently pulled away from the competition and is five points ahead of the Minsk team, so it can feel extremely comfortable. At the same time, she continues to show excellent results and practically does without defeats. So, during the 13 meetings held, Yaroslavl lost only once, and now they have again developed the series to five victories.
The railwaymen had previously dealt with Neftekhimik (1:0), Dinamo Minsk (5:4B) and Dynamo Moscow (3:1) at home, and had already beaten SKA heavily - 5:2. At the same time, in most cases Bob Hartley's squad demonstrates a decent defensive game and usually does not miss more than one"two heads." The credit for this also belongs to Daniil Isaev, who is having another successful season and is one of the best goalkeepers in the league in terms of reliability, with a score of 1.90.

2.40Tip and bets
The locomotive has been showing great results for a month and is quite confident in dealing with many rivals. Severstal has recently experienced certain performance problems, which prevented it from earning points, which is why it brought matches to overtime even against not the strongest opponents. We think that Yaroslavl will be stronger this time, and betting on their success with a head start looks like a great option now.
Betting Tip - Locomotive wins with a handicap (0) in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
In the last two out of three matches against Severstal this season, Lokomotiv conceded no more than two goals. Cherepovets, as we noted above, had difficulty creating and implementing chances in recent games and usually could not score three times. Most likely, if Loko plays in his usual style, he will not allow his opponent to score three goals.
We take Severstal's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.57
