LiontipsAvangard - Lokomotiv: betting tip (cf 1.67) and bets on the KHL playoffs match
Command Analysis
Current form
The second game in Yaroslavl confirmed the impression that the Omsk team had prepared excellently for the confrontation with Lokomotiv and was in excellent playing shape. The unconditional victory in the first game (5-2) set the guidelines for the hawks to build a game in the second match. The team once again sought to act from a position of strength, rushing into the attack from the first minutes and spending more time in attack during the match than the opponent, and managing their moments more carefully and effectively.
After losing the first period (0:1), Omsk had only a little over a minute in the middle of the second leg of the match to not only win back, but also take the lead after accurate shots from forward Vasily Ponomarev and defender Damir Sharipzyanov. Andrew Poturalski's goal in the majority in the third period consolidated the advantage of the guests and set the final result of the match – 3:1 in favor of Avangard. Konstantin Okulov, who assisted his teammates in all three scoring situations, made a great contribution to the team's victory. Now he confidently leads the lists of the best snipers and scorers of the playoffs with 18 points for performance in 12 matches (eight goals and 10 assists). Poturalski scored 11 points (four goals and seven assists).

Current form
After losing the first game of the series, the hosts started the second match more composed, managed to withstand the initial onslaught of the Avant-Garde and led 1-0 after the first period thanks to a goal by defender Andrey Sergeev. However, then the confidence left the railwaymen, and they could not maintain their advantage, conceding two goals in the second period and another in the third. Once again, as during the regular tournament, the uncertain play of Yaroslavl players in unequal squads made itself felt - in the minority they conceded four goals in two matches, and in the majority they were able to score only once. The railroad workers could not even find the strength for a full-fledged final assault. By replacing the goalkeeper with an extra field player three minutes before the end of the third period with the score 1:3, they acted too academically, and the guests effortlessly defended their goal intact.
Having suffered a second consecutive defeat at home, the Yaroslavl armored train departs for Omsk in a very difficult situation. The next setback in the game against the blood-smelling hawks will put the reigning KHL champion on the brink of relegation from the cup draw. If Lokomotiv intends to continue the fight for the trophy and return the series to Yaroslavl, the team needs to significantly increase right along the course of the series, strengthen the game in all lines and improve the implementation of the created moments.

Tip and bets
Lokomotiv has put itself in a very difficult position and now cannot afford to lose on the road if Bob Hartley's team expects to prolong the series and return home. The railwaymen looked good in the first two duels, but clearly lost in the desire. The Volga team was let down by the game in the special teams, so they will try to play as reliably as possible in Omsk. The Siberians are unlikely to force things, so we think that the guests will still be able to at least not lose in regular time.
Betting Tip - The Locomotive will not lose in 1.67
Bet on the total
Nikita Serebryakov demonstrates an excellent game at the last line of defense, and Daniil Isaev is generally good enough, if you cross out the first period of the opening match of the series. Both teams operate with a constant eye on their own goal and in the last match the stands did not see more than four goals. We believe that this time the opponents will score less than five goals.
We take a total of less than 4.5 goals for 1.70
