Lokomotiv vs Amur prediction
Lokomotiv
Lokomotiv, which has already won a ticket to the playoffs, will now strive to stay in first place in order to secure home ice advantage before the possible late stages of the relegation games. In the previous round, Yaroslavl defeated Neftekhimik with a score of 4:2, and before that they squandered a large number of chances in the match against Vityaz (1:2).
Amur
Amur found itself in a protracted peak: Martemyanov's team lost in four matches in a row, and this is almost a verdict for the 10th-place team. He returned to Broadhurst, but there are still no leaders - Khokhlachev and Lee. Without these guys, Amur suffers from both defense and attack. In the match against SKA, Khabarovsk immediately missed the thread of the game, conceding two goals by the fifth minute, and then did not get into the rhythm and lost 2-6
Prediction
In the first full-time match of the season, Lokomotiv confidently defeated Amur with a score of 4:1. Then Yaroslavl showed almost exemplary hockey and almost did not give Amur a chance. In general, Nikitin's team goes through the championship with a confident gait: the ability to keep score, high-quality hockey players who understand the system, good goalkeepers. Most likely, there will be no defeat in this game, since Lokomotiv has a difficult match ahead against the Avant-Garde, but Loko should win in regular time
