The KHL regular season continues, we are waiting for a modest confrontation between Lokomotiv and Neftekhimik. The meeting will take place on October 28 at 19:00 Moscow time at the Arena-2000 Locomotive. Our portal has prepared its forecast for this confrontation for you.
"Locomotive"
Despite the noticeable strengthening in the off-season, the railwaymen did not give the best start, having suffered many defeats. Now the game is slowly getting better, but still lacks stability. Yaroslavl residents look much better at home, but on the road they gave out a series of defeats, having lost in past matches to Salavat Yulaev and Dynamo Moscow.
Neftekhimik
Petrochemicals managed to pull off a few good signings in the summer, although it didn't really strengthen the composition. After a confident start, the team began to slow down, frequent defeats came. Neftekhimik misses a lot, while showing a weak game in attack. In their last match, the team confidently beat Kunlun RS with a score of 2:4 on the road.
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with the victory of Lokomotiv with a score of 1:5.
- Lokomotiv has a bad streak of two defeats in a row.
- Neftekhimik has won only twice in its last five meetings.
Forecast
The obvious favorite in this meeting looks like Lokomotiv, which has more serious performers in the squad and a long bench. Neftekhimik looks extremely insecure this season and rarely wins. I don't see why the guests can score points in this game.
