Lokomotiv will play another match in the regular season of the Kontinental Hockey League. Our sports portal gives a forecast for the game.
"Locomotive" I
Lokomotiv played the previous match in the regular season on the road and lost to Severstal with a score of 0:3. Before that, the Yaroslavl club beat SKA twice (2:1 and 1:0) and Vityaz (3:1). This season Igor Nikitin's team played 60 matches and scored 78 points. Now the Railwaymen occupy 4th place in the Western Conference table. It gives the advantage of its ice in the first round of the playoffs.
HC Sochi
The Black Sea club is located on the last line in the Western Conference table. This season, the Leopards have played 57 games and scored 23 points. The previous match in the "regular season" was unsuccessfully played by Sochi on the road with Vityaz (1:5). The only goal in the losing team was scored by Artur Tyulin. Naturally, with such results, the Southerners no longer claim anything. Dmitry Kokorev's team is quietly finishing the disastrous season.
Statistics and figures:
- Lokomotiv is the favorite of the match according to bookmakers.
- In the last 34 full-time matches, the Leopards have won nine, the railwaymen — 25.
- The previous meeting with the participation of rivals ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of the Yaroslavl club.
Forecast
I think Lokomotiv will succeed. But I will bet that the guests will not lose with a difference of more than two goals.
