Traktor is having a good home-and-home series, the team has won the last two games, and in general, Traktor's home ice games are going well this season.
Avangard is showing great form - the team has won 9 games in a row (5 of them were on home ice).
Both teams are in great shape, there is no clear favourite, but Avangard looks preferable. Of course, it will be hard to beat Traktor at home, but we don't think Avangard will show a weak game
Prediction: Avangard to lose by 1 goal or not to lose at all. We recommend the “2 Hand (+1)” bet, odds 1.5
