In the previous matches, "Lokomotiv" has shown potential in attack but has focused on improving defense. Nikitin's team is successful at home and has the potential to win. Considering the tendency towards a more defensive style of play and the team's good form, I believe that "Lokomotiv" will be able to secure a victory over "Ak Bars" in regulation time.
The match between "Lokomotiv" and "Ak Bars" promises to be intense. The "Railwaymen" are currently solid, but the "leopards" are ready to resist. "Ak Bars" will return to the battle after the break and is not going to give up, especially after the previous defeat. Chelyabinsk's "Traktor" showed how to stop "Lokomotiv". Prediction: "Ak Bars" will not lose.
In the match between "Lokomotiv" and "Ak Bars", low scoring is expected. Both teams have strong defenses and play cautiously, as seen in their previous matches. "Lokomotiv" focuses on defense, as evidenced by their recent game against "Torpedo". Coach Igor Nikitin's strategy is more about holding the score rather than attacking. Playing away, "Ak Bars" also prefers to play defensively, especially against strong opponents. The meeting of the leaders of both conferences is unlikely to end with a high number of goals. Prediction: total under 4.5.
