Lokomotiv - Spartak: betting tip (cf 1.65) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

Starting the match with the strong support of the full stands, Lokomotiv immediately earned two consecutive majorities, but acted somewhat impressively and did not create serious problems for the opponent's goal in four minutes. The well-known sports law immediately worked, and Spartak first scored in equal numbers, and then demonstrated a master class, spending only eight seconds to realize the numerical majority. The score 0:2 was clearly not part of the Yaroslavl team's plans, and they were in a state of grogginess for some time, they could not do any creative actions.

The task of bringing the game mechanism of the armored train into operation was taken over by the participants of the All–Star Match and spent less than two minutes on it - first, Alexander Radulov realized a one-on-one exit from a smart pass by Egor Surin, and then Georgy Ivanov equalized the result three seconds before the end of the first period from the transfer of the same Radulov. The second and third periods were spent in a lively struggle, in which the Slovak duo Richard Panik and Martin Gernat scored, who realized the majority, and Nikita Kiryanov set the final score by hitting an empty goal seven seconds before the end of the game, in which the current cup winner won a strong–willed victory (5:3). Some idea of the atmosphere of the match and the intensity of the fight is provided by unusual statistics: the opponents made 72 shots on goal (45 times thrown by the hosts and 27 by the guests) and performed 96 power techniques (46 from Lokomotiv and 50 from Spartak).

Current form

Muscovites in this series will face difficult tasks – to act selflessly in every game, not to let the leaders of the Locomotive play out and try to maximize their strengths, one of which is the effective work of the special brigade of the majority. In addition, in the regular season, in matches against Spartak, opponents were eliminated very often, more often only against Metallurg.

The start of the guest opening match of the series turned out to be the best for the red-whites: having defended themselves in the minority without much loss, they confused the defense and the goalkeeper of the hosts with their attack, and Demid Mansurov sent the stray puck by the ribbon right from the next patch without interference. Then Spartak got the majority and handled it brilliantly: Pavel Ordyadin and Ivan Morozov cleared the penalty area of Lokomotiv with quick cross passes and brought Daniil Gutik to the final throw, who beautifully completed the combination, scoring the 150th point in the KHL and sending greetings to the Yaroslavl club, from where he began his career in big hockey. It took eight seconds for Spartak to do everything, and this was in the absence of the top regular-season scorers and majority specialists Adam Ruzicki and Nathan Todd, who left the team on the eve of the playoffs. The champion managed not only to win back, but also to get ahead, German Rubtsov equalized the score, after which the Spartak players had a chance to score a crucial goal, but they failed to do so. Despite losing away (3:5), the Spartacists looked worthy and gave the fight to the favorite.
