Command Analysis
Current form
Having dismissed the opponent from the score 2:0 in the opening match of the series, Spartak nevertheless completed the minimum program and brought one victory from Yaroslavl, obtained in overtime of the second match (2:1, OT). That game turned out to be extremely stubborn, Danil Pivchulin brought his team victory at the end of the first overtime. In the wake of this away success, the team reasonably expected to achieve even more on the Moscow ice with the support of the stands.
However, the game on March 28 was not easy for Alexey Zhamnov's team. In the first period, Lokomotiv scored two goals. During the entire period, Spartak players only shot on target twice, but at the same time Daniil Gutik managed to send another greeting to the club where he started his career in big hockey. Lokomotiv took the lead twice more, but Pavel Ordyadin and Ivan Morozov (a minute and a half before the final siren with an empty goal) brought Spartak back into the game. In overtime, Artur Kayumov returned the debt to the hosts for the second game, scoring the winning goal against Alexander Georgiev, who played well again and deprived Spartak of a second success in a row.

Current form
Lokomotiv arrived at the Moscow part of the series in a bad mood, having missed the victory in the second match on the eve, in which he led in the third period, and having lost the advantage of his ice. The guests needed a victory to regain their confidence in the game. During the game, Yaroslavl took the lead three times through the efforts of Maxim Shalunov, Alexander Radulov and Byron Frez, but Spartak did not let go far, each time comparing the score. At the same time, Daniil Gutik and Pavel Ordin scored for Yegor Isaev without interference from close range, which the Yaroslavl defense usually does not allow. The game went into overtime again, where Lokomotiv succeeded thanks to Artur Kayumov's jewelery touch–up after Rushan Rafikov's throw from the blue line - (4:3, OT).
The dynamics of Lokomotiv's shooting activity during the regular season is characteristic, reflecting the degree of perseverance and tension of the series: in the first game, the team scored 45 shots, in the second 28, and in the third only 19. To some extent, this is due to the objective assessment of Bob Hartley, an experienced locomotive steering specialist.: I have a lot of respect for Spartak. Gutik and Georgiev joined it, now it's not the same team that started the season. I've been analyzing their games for the last month, so I knew it was going to be a very difficult series.

Tip and bets
It is very difficult for Lokomotiv in the series against Spartak, but so far Yaroslavl still controls the course of the confrontation and does not allow the opponent to take the lead in the series. There was intrigue in each of the matches, but the Volga team always looked a little more active and dictated their game. We believe that the reigning champions will be able to add to the key match of the first round and put the squeeze on the red-whites in Moscow.
Betting Tip - victory of the Locomotive in 1.95
Bet on the total
After the first meeting, both teams calmed down a bit and began to act more cautiously at their gates. The second game turned out to be too low-level, but in the first meeting in Moscow, the puck flew in too often, although the total xG of the teams did not exceed 2.00. We believe that in the most important meeting in the series, neither side will take risks and the hockey players will not score more than four goals in total.
We take a total of less than five goals for 1.73
