LiontipsLokomotiv - Traktor: betting tip (cf 1.75) and bets on the KHL match
Command Analysis
After the second consecutive championship season, Lokomotiv had a busy off-season. The Yaroslavl team was led by Dmitry Kvartalnov, who replaced Bob Hartley as head coach, but remained with the team as a consultant. Along with the coaching staff, the squad has also changed. The offensive line was reinforced by Canadian legionnaire Giovanni Fiore, and Dmitry Falkovsky from Ak Bars defended. At the same time, the railwaymen retained some of the leaders by extending contracts with leading hockey players. In the last friendly game, Yaroslavl beat Severstal (3:2B).
In the summer, the Tractor was headed by Scott Gordon, who replaced Evgeny Koreshkov. In the last regular season of the KHL, Chelyabinsk took the sixth place in the Eastern Conference. In the playoffs, the team failed to advance beyond the first round, losing in a series of up to four wins to Ak Bars Kazan (1:4). The club has signed a contract with striker Boris Katchuk, who has extensive experience playing in the NHL, where the forward represented the Tampa Bay Lightning, Chicago Blackhawks and Ottawa Senators. The management also signed goalkeeper Henrik Heukeland, striker Nikita Soshnikov and Artem Udot.

Tip and bets
In our opinion, it is worth paying attention to the owners of the ice. Lokomotiv has won the Gagarin Cup in the past two seasons and intends to score a hat-trick. The railwaymen have the task of winning their first victory of the new season, and in the last regular season they were the best on their ice in terms of points scored. During the offseason, Lokomotiv demonstrated a reliable defensive game and was pleased with its performance (15 goals scored and 9 goals conceded in the last five matches). We believe that Kvartalnov's team will win today.
The betting tip is a victory for Lokomotiv with a coefficient of 1.75
