For some teams, the KHL playoff quarterfinals could be over soon. Furthermore, the matter smells of two sensations. One of them may be presented on March 22 by Traktor. We present to your attention an express bet with odds of 4.73 for the matches that will be played today.
Prediction for the match “Traktor” – “Dynamo” Moscow
Traktor shows impressive results and this gives it a certain advantage over the guests. In the last three meetings with the Muscovites, the Chelyabinsk team emerged victorious twice in regulation time and again in extra time. This makes it clear that “polar bears” have a psychological advantage.
On the other hand, Dynamo itself, throughout the entire season, also shows excellent form, having won the regular season. However, away games with the blue and white Traktor have always been difficult, the results leave much to be desired. And this could work against them in the next match, since if they lose they will leave the tournament.
Taking into account the current form of the teams and their last meetings, we can assume that the game will be tense. Both teams have strong attacking lines, spectators are likely to see an exchange of goals.
Based on all of the above, our prediction is that Traktor will be able to use the home ice advantage and fan support to achieve victory. However, Dynamo will not be an easy opponent. Guests are expected to go above and beyond. And yet, we assume that the match will end in favor of the Chelyabinsk team, which will surprise all fans. The odds of final victory for the “polar bears” are 2.20.
Prediction for the match “Lokomotiv” – “Avangard”
The analysis of the last matches shows that both teams are in good shape, but Lokomotiv’s results leave them as favorites. A great 7:0 victory over Avangard and stable results in previous matches indicate the high readiness of the Yaroslavl team for important playoff matches.
Avangard, despite the defeat against Lokomotiv with seven unanswered goals and the dismissal of the coach, showed that they know how to recover and win critical games. In the third match of the series, the Omsk team managed to at least get revenge and won 2-1. Even in overtime. The victory brought the team back into the game and will therefore continue to fight.
Experts give preference to owners. This is quite justified, taking into account the recent successes and status of the inhabitants of Yaroslavl. However, there is always room for surprises in hockey, and Avangard will surely try to take advantage of every opportunity to fully atone for their past defeat. And only winning the series will help achieve that.
Taking all the factors into account, we can assume that the match will be tense and rich in moments. Lokomotiv will act as the aggressor, trying to dictate their playing conditions at home, while Avangard will look for their opportunities in counterattacks and defensive play.
The Yaroslavl team, in our opinion, will show offensive strength and competent use of the home advantage. At the same time, Avangard will also be able to score a couple of goals in response, which will make the match interesting for the spectators until the last minutes. This time we suggest trying a bet on both teams scoring more than 1.5 goals with an odds of 2.15.
Express on March 22.
Bet 1: Traktor’s victory in the match against Dynamo, taking into account extra time and penalties in 2.20.
Bet 2: Both will score more than 1.5 goals in the Lokomotiv – Avangard match at 2.15.
Overall coefficient: 2.20 X 2.15 = 4.73.
