The Omsk "Avangard" should finish the series against "Lada" in their favor on their home ice. In the previous game, they lost, perhaps because they relaxed or decided to finish the series at home. However, in the playoffs, every extra game is an additional burden. Considering the level of the teams, physical and emotional load, it is more likely that "Avangard" will take the ice today and close the series in regulation time.
In the upcoming match between Avangard and Lada, a high-scoring game is expected. In the previous match, Lada showed a good performance by scoring 4 goals. Both teams have a strong offensive potential and they should continue to score in this game. Also, it is worth noting that Avangard is playing at home, which gives them an advantage. It is expected that both teams will be focused on attacking, so a high-scoring game is anticipated. Therefore, my prediction for this match is over 4.5 total goals.
In the match between Avangard and Lada, a high level of scoring is expected. Avangard is the stronger team and has a class advantage, which should be reflected in goals scored. Lada, despite showing good results, has already exceeded expectations and will be up against a powerful opponent. This suggests that the match will be open and filled with attacking actions from both sides. Therefore, I predict that the total goals scored will be at least 6.
Avangard must finish this series with a 3-1 score and defeat Lada. The team from Omsk plays better on their home ice and has a huge support from their fans. Lada has shown weak results in previous matches, especially on the road. In the previous game, Avangard unpleasantly surprised their fans with a defeat, so they are obligated to bounce back and show their strength. Lada may face problems in defense and make many mistakes, leading to a loss.
In the next game, Avangard will be able to confidently close out the series against Lada at home. They have shown excellent performance in previous matches and have demonstrated consistent results throughout the season. A solid defense and experienced goalkeeper will be able to contain the opponent's attacks, while their offense will be active and dangerous for the opponent's goal. Considering the high level of motivation within the Avangard team to finish the series with a victory, the likelihood of successfully completing the game in their favor is very high. With their declared confidence and experience, it is predicted that Avangard will win the game with a significant advantage.
Based on the previous game, where Lada was able to defeat Avangard on their home ice, as well as the necessity for Tolyatti team to win this match to avoid ending the series, it can be assumed that Lada will be motivated and ready to fight until the end. However, Avangard has the advantage and will want to close out the series at home. A high-scoring game is expected, with both teams finding the back of the net, but Lada is likely to score at least two goals. Therefore, we can expect a game with scoring opportunities for both teams.
The forecast for the Avangard - Lada match: I expect a continuation of good attacking play from both teams. Lada, having confidently defeated Avangard in the previous match, gained confidence and will strive to extend the series. Considering their regular season results and good performance in the last match, they can create opportunities and score goals. Avangard, facing unexpected resistance, may not be as confident. I expect Lada to score at least two goals, thanks to their good play on power plays and ability to create chances. With Lada being underestimated and their desire to show a good game, I predict that they will score more than 2 goals in the match.
In the showdown between Avangard and Lada in the KHL playoffs, the best bet is the individual total over for Avangard. Avangard has the advantage of playing at home and a strong offense, allowing them to score many goals. Lada, although showing good stretches this season, is unlikely to be able to withstand the experienced and powerful Avangard lineup. Therefore, one can expect a successful performance from the home team, and the individual total over for Avangard seems to be the most optimal choice for this match.
