LiontipsAk Bars is a Locomotive. Betting Tip (cf 1.63) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
At the start of the regular season, Ak Bars did not show its best hockey and accelerated for a long time. In the second half of the first part of the championship, Anvar Gatiyatullin's team settled on the third line in the East and without any problems remained among the leaders of its conference. In the first round of the playoffs, Alexei Marchenko's squad defeated Traktor in five games (4:1 in the series), while never losing in overtime. After that, Kazan sensationally defeated Dinamo Minsk (4:0 in the series), and then sent the best regular season team in the person of Metallurg (4:1 in the series) on vacation.
In the final series, Kazan started with an unpleasant defeat on the road (1:3), but a day later they were able to take revenge in Yaroslavl (5:1). After returning home, the hosts were determined to take the lead in the score, but they showed a rather weak game and scored only one goal (1-4). Defender Mitch Miller became the main striking force of the Greens. In only three games against Lokomotiv, the American hit the opponent's goal five times and scored a hat-trick in the winning match.

Ak Bars still has no problems with the squad.
Interesting betting trends

Current form
After the first KHL championship, Lokomotiv was determined to continue winning and from the first days of autumn it established itself among the best teams in the conference. Yaroslavl continued to play in the style of Igor Nikitin with Bob Hartley and, despite some defensive problems in the fall, they were able to hold the first place in the West. Spartak Moscow got caught in the first round of the playoffs (4-1 in the series), Salavat Yulaev had no chance in the quarterfinals (4-0). For the third year in a row, the railwaymen beat Omsk Avangard (4-3 in the series) in seven games, and this time they managed to make an incredible comeback.
The final series against Ak Bars began with a pleasant victory (3:1) on their home ice, but a day later the Yaroslavl team lost quite heavily on the ice of Arena 2000 (1:5). Alexander Yelesin's squad was able to pull themselves together and regained the advantage of the home court in Kazan (4:1). Maxim Berezkin, Richard Panik, Nikita Cherepanov and Artur Kayumov contributed to the overall success.

Tip and bets
Ak Bars has not yet been able to please its fans with a stable and strong performance in the final series. Anvar Gatiyatullin's team played a great match on the road after losing the opening match, but completely failed at home. Lokomotiv continues to play their hockey and so far looks preferable to the opponent. We think that Bob Hartley's team will do everything to return to Yaroslavl with the score 3-1 in their favor. We suggest betting that the guests will not lose during the regular season.
Our betting tip is that the Locomotive will not lose in 1.63
Daniil Isaev was not always reliable during this playoff, but in some matches he helped out his partners a lot and has already scored five crackers in the games of the final bracket. Ak Bars does not manage to create many chances at the opponent's goal and so far the best scorer of the hosts is defender Mitch Miller. We think that Yaroslavl will hold off the pressure of the opponent and will not concede more than two goals.
Betting Tip - Ak Bars' individual total is less than 2.5 goals per 1.63
