The next game day of the KHL season will give us a modest confrontation between two teams from different parts of the table, Lokomotiv will host Amur. The game will take place on February 7 at 19:00 Moscow time at the Arena 2000 Locomotive.
"Locomotive"
There have been big changes in the composition of Lokomotiv during the season, which affected all lines. After a frankly disastrous start, the team began to gain momentum and now looks like a formidable force in the league, especially on its own site. In recent matches, the Railwaymen began to alternate victories and defeats, and in the last game they defeated Sochi at home with a score of 4:0.
"Cupid"
The composition of the team has changed dramatically, but the newcomers are not impressive yet. This season, the team looks bad, but continues to fight for the playoffs, being now on the eighth line in the standings. In recent matches, the Tigers looked good, in the home series they managed to beat Siberia twice in a row, first, and then the formidable Avangard.
Statistics and figures:
- The last match between these teams ended with the victory of Lokomotiv 1:3.
- Amur has a good streak of three wins in a row.
- In their last five meetings, Lokomotiv have lost only twice.
Forecast
Lokomotiv looks like a big favorite in this confrontation, the team has a stronger squad and a set game. The hosts have a good stretch now, but the guests are in great shape now. I think we are waiting for a stubborn struggle and victory of the "railwaymen" here.
