Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg - Lokomotiv Yaroslavl (KHL)
Avtomolist had an unsuccessful last season, the team did not get into the Gagarin Cup playoffs, although team h had quite a bit for this. The team's games on home ice are held with varying success - 50/50 wins and losses.
Lokomotiv is a pretty serious opponent, but the Yaroslavl club has always had problems with trips to the Eastern Conference. And at the start of the season, the Locomotive has rarely impressed in recent years.

Tractor Chelyabinsk - Severstal Cherepovets (KHL)
Tractor reached the semi-finals of the Gagarin Cup last season, showing a good level of play, but in the offseason the team's composition changed a lot, a lot of legionnaires left.
But Severstal did not face such a problem. The team has practically not changed the first three links, which gives them a big advantage today. The team spent the last season pretty well, getting into the playoffs, where they lost to Dynamo Moscow in a very hard struggle.
Forecast: Severstal Cherepovets to win. We recommend adding the "Match Winner 2" bet to your express, odds 2.75
