The armored train conducted regular training without major failures and dominated the West. Bob Hartley's team came out of first place in the conference and was stronger than Spartak in five games in the first round (4-1 in the series). In the second round, Alexander Yelesin's squad easily beat Salavat Yulaev (4-0 in the series), but then problems began. Lokomotiv lost to Avangard 1-3 during the series, but performed a miracle and reached the Gagarin Cup final for the third time in a row (4-3 in the series).
The Volzhans are trying to play their hockey during the series against Ak Bars. They started the finals with a confident victory on their home ice (3:1), but then lost heavily (1:5). In Kazan, Alexander Yelesin's team regained the home ice advantage (4:1), but it will not be able to complete the series at Arena 2000 earlier this week. Alexander Polunin was the author of Yaroslavl's only goal in the fourth match, and it could have been victorious. The guests closed down too much and stopped creating chances, which the opponent took advantage of and equalized the score in the series (1:2).

Current form
Ak Bars looked pretty bleak at the beginning of autumn, but it only got better as the season progressed. Anvar Gatiyatullin's team secured the third place in the East and did not give it up to competitors in the person of Avtomobilist and Salavat Yulaev and Traktor. In the first round of the playoffs, the greens played just against Chelyabinsk and gave only one meeting to black and white (4:1 in the series), without losing a single overtime. In the quarterfinals, the team from the Republic of Tatarstan unexpectedly defeated Dinamo Minsk (4:0 in the series), and the main sensation was the victory over Metallurg (4:1 in the series).
In the final confrontation, the leopards have not yet managed to get ahead, but they do not let the opponent go far. After losing at the beginning of the series (1:3), the team from Kazan took away the advantage of home ice (5:1), but quickly returned it to the reigning champion (1:4) at home. The fourth game did not go according to Ak Bars' scenario, but after conceding the puck, the hosts pulled themselves together and hit Daniil Isaev's goal twice. Artyom Galimov and Alexander Khmelevsky became the authors of the green pucks.

Tip and bets
Lokomotiv took the lead twice during the series against Ak Bars, but both times Kazan managed to equalize the score. The match at number five may be the key in this confrontation, so both teams will try to show their maximum on the ice. So far, the railwaymen look a little more stable than their opponents and they have more experience in such important meetings. We think that Bob Hartley's team will beat the Greens on the ice of Arena 2000. We offer a bet on the victory of steam locomotives, taking into account overtime.
The betting tip is a victory for Lokomotiv, taking into account overtime in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Daniil Isaev is just gaining momentum in the final series and in the last two games he has been incredibly reliable and has not made mistakes. It is very difficult for Kazan to create chances, and the last three goals against Lokomotiv were not scored without luck. We think that with the support of the home stands, the hosts will play carefully and will not allow their goalkeeper to be upset more than once or twice.
We take Ak Bars' individualtotal of less than two goals for 1.78
