Lada lost 4 games in the last 5 rounds, but only 1 defeat was in regulation time. So it can't be said that the team is in crisis, especially since Lada's calendar has been extremely difficult, and 3rd place in the Eastern Conference is a great result for the team.
Ak Bars was able to beat Vityaz in the last game, breaking a bad streak. Although Vityaz is the main outsider in the KHL, so you can't call it a special success. Although Ak Bars looks nominally the favourite today, but the teams have already played twice this season, both games won by Lada, and today the guests may well pick up points.
Prediction: Lada double chance. We recommend the “X2” bet, odds 2.2
