CSKA after a poor start has started to restore the status quo in the KHL, especially successful recent games on home ice - 4 wins in 5 games (lost only to SKA in a hard-fought battle).
Lokomotiv is the leader in the Western Conference, although the team has risen so high both because of the weak start of SKA and CSKA this season. Lokomotiv for a long time went undefeated in away games, but recently the team did start losing on foreign ice, the last game in general ended in a 4-1 defeat.
The teams have already played each other twice this season, both games were hard fought with no clear favourite. But now CSKA is in better shape, showing a faster and more aggressive game.
Prediction: CSKA to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 2.31
