Lokomotiv is having a great current season, the team is leading the Western Conference with 72 points in 45 games, having a 15 point lead. The team is in good form at the moment, winning 4 of the last 5 games, and the last 4 games in Yaroslavl also ended successfully.
SKA is only 6th in the conference, although the team is only 3 points behind 2nd place. SKA's recent games have gone poorly - a 0-5 home loss to Spartak and a 5-4 away defeat to Dynamo Moscow. But any series in hockey can end, so it's better to bet on pucks, as SKA and Lokomotiv score a lot of them in head-to-head meetings.
Prediction: at least 5 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 4.5" bet, odds 1.77
