In the regular season of the KHL, Neftekhimik from Nizhnekamsk will face Lokomotiv from Yaroslavl, which is showing good form with three consecutive wins, including a victory over the top team Ak Bars. Neftekhimik, on the other hand, has suffered four losses in a row and has conceded a dominant victory to Lokomotiv in their previous games. Considering the current form and statistics favor Lokomotiv, a victory for Lokomotiv in regular time is predicted. Therefore, a bet on outcome P2 seems reasonable.
In the KHL match, Neftekhimik hosts Lokomotiv. The hosts need a victory to improve their playoff chances, although Amur has given them an additional opportunity. Lokomotiv has already secured a playoff spot and is focused on winning the cup. A tough game with minimal goals is expected. Considering the last home match of the season, Neftekhimik will put up a fight and try to show their best. A tense match can be expected with no clear favorite.
In the upcoming match between Neftekhimik and Lokomotiv, a tense battle for victory is expected. Neftekhimik is showing inconsistent results, not winning for four games in a row. Meanwhile, Lokomotiv is fighting for a playoff spot and has a good chance of success. It is also worth noting that Lokomotiv demonstrates a strong defensive game, which may help them keep their net secure. I predict that Lokomotiv will win this match, possibly with a minimal lead and a couple of goals scored.
The last match between Neftekhimik and Lokomotiv promises to be a high-scoring game. Both teams are not in contention for top spots and may play without pressure, leading to an open and competitive match with plenty of goals. Considering the lack of pressure, it is reasonable to expect a high-scoring game with goals from both sides. In this scenario, a bet on a high number of goals, such as over 5 goals, seems justified.
In the KHL match between Neftekhimik and Lokomotiv, Lokomotiv is more likely to win. Nizhnekamsk has problems in attack, has lost four away games. At the same time, Lokomotiv is fighting for top positions in the Western Conference, showing consistent results: it has won the last three games, scoring more than 3 goals per match. Considering Lokomotiv's attacking effectiveness and Neftekhimik's defensive weakness, it can be expected that Lokomotiv will score more than 2.5 goals in this game.
