Sochi continues to suffer defeats as SKA seeks the Continental Cup.
There are just a few days left until the end of the KHL regular season. We present to your attention an express bet with odds of 7.30 for the matches that will be played today.
Prediction for the match “Neftekhimik” – “Lokomotiv”
Although the Nizhnekamsk club is the owner of the ice, its recent matches do not inspire optimism. A series of defeats suggests he is on the decline. In the last five meetings we managed to get only one victory – in the match against Torpedo, but in other cases we had to leave the ice with our heads down.
The Yaroslavl team, on the other hand, is showing impressive form, winning three of the last five matches, including an important victory in the match against Ak Bars. However, it is worth noting that the loss to Spartak could have a negative impact on the morale of hockey players in general. If we analyze the head-to-head confrontations between the teams, it is clear that Lokomotiv has the advantage, having won most of the matches against Neftekhimik in recent years.
Taking all the factors into account, we can assume that Lokomotiv will show their class and win this match. However, Neftekhimik is unlikely to allow this to be done easily, even though he has already lost his chances of making the KHL playoffs. Match forecast: victory for the railroaders at 2:00 am.
Prediction for the match “Dynamo” – SKA
Dinamo Minsk shows good results in general, winning three of its last five games. Even at home, in the meeting with Neftekhimik 2-1. SKA, despite the recent defeat against Severstal by 0:3, has a powerful attack, as confirmed by a great victory in the match against Sochi by 8:1.
Head-to-head confrontations between the teams indicate that the fight will continue until the last siren. This season, the clubs met three times, and each time the victory was in regular time for the team that played on their ice. Therefore, we must not forget about the local support of the “bison”, which can play a decisive role. Taking all the factors into account, our prediction is the following: the match promises to be tense, with many scoring chances for both teams.
SKA will try to take revenge for the last defeat and will actively attack, but Dynamo will strive to take advantage of the home ice advantage. The defense of both teams is expected to be at its best, but in the end SKA will still be able to break the hosts’ defense and win. An odds of 1.90 is offered for Rotenberg’s team to win.
Forecast for the match “Sochi” – “Kunlun”
Both teams show variable results, but their direct confrontations indicate an advantage for the guests. Kunlun won a resounding victory in the last personal match by 4-0, as well as in four other matches against Sochi.
Taking into account the statistics of the last matches in the KHL, in which Sochi suffered three defeats in five matches, including the defeat against SKA by 1:8, we can talk about the advantage of the Pekingese. Kunlun has shown good attacking play, scoring in each of the last five games.
Kunlun will try to take advantage of the weaknesses of Sochi’s defense, while the hosts will undoubtedly want to rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans after the failures. The match will probably end with a slight advantage in favor of Kunlun, but Sochi will be able to offer decent resistance. Our forecast is a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.92.

Overall coefficient: 2.00 X 1.90 X 1.92 = 7.30.
