LiontipsLokomotiv - Avangard: betting tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
The first match in Omsk, during which Bob Hartley's team showed a truly champion character and literally snatched victory, losing two goals after the first period, inspired hope that the railwaymen had come to their senses after a disastrous start to the series on their ice and were finally ready to show their best hockey, having found a winning rhythm. The tournament situation forced Lokomotiv to fight, to seek their fortune in attack, and they strove forward, spending almost 15 minutes of playing time in the opponent's zone during the match (the Avangard score was nine minutes and 40 seconds).
Yaroslavl again outscored Omsk 28-19, but the shooting efficiency, as before, left much to be desired, none of the shots reached the goal, none of the chances were realized, while the hosts managed to score one goal each in the second and third periods, after which they were able to bring the meeting to victory, skillfully neutralizing the outbreaks of Locomotive activity at the end of the game. For Lokomotiv, a loss without scoring goals (0:2) was the first not only in the current playoffs, but also in all matches in 2026. The previous such goalless result took place in January in a match against Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod.

Current form
After the defeat in the third game, it was important for Avangard to prevent Lokomotiv from building on their success and equalizing the series, after which the psychological advantage would be on the side of Yaroslavl. The visitors, forced to play to win, attacked a lot and created dangerous chances more than once, especially in the second and third periods. Avangard was ready for this and competently built the game, putting reliable defense at the forefront, not missing chances to conduct sharp counterattacks. Two of them brought the desired result: Vasily Ponomarev, who scored Daniil Isaev's third goal during this series, and Konstantin Okulov, who added the ninth goal to his 11 assists in the playoffs and consolidated his undisputed leadership in the list of the best scorers of the cup round.
Goalkeeper Nikita Serebryakov made a great contribution to the team's victory, helping the team out more than once and not missing out for the second time in the current playoffs. An important success factor in the fourth game was the strict observance of game discipline. Omsk played the match without penalty time, while in previous matches, removals often led to problems, playing in the minority took a lot of effort. The next match may decide the outcome of the series in favor of Avangard if he wins. If Lokomotiv wins, then the series of up to four wins of this team is again moved to Omsk, where the sixth match will take place.

Tip and bets
Lokomotiv is on the verge of relegation from the playoffs and now has no right to make mistakes. Bob Hartley's team couldn't impose their hockey in the last game, but they looked great in the third meeting. The owners need to get the last one out of themselves and there is no point in saving their strength. Avangard can afford to play it neat again. We think that the railwaymen will be able to please the stands and extend the series for at least one more match.
The betting tip is a victory for Lokomotiv, taking into account overtime in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Lokomotiv throws a lot in this series, but it can't cope with Nikita Serebryakov, who is doing great at the last line of defense for the visitors. At the same time, in the third meeting, Yaroslavl scored three goals in just one period and played great offensively. We believe that the hosts will shoot a lot at the opponent's goal and will be able to distinguish themselves at least two or three times.
We take the individualtotal of the Locomotive more than two goals for 1.65
