CSKA
While the capital’s club is at the stage of recovery after a disastrous opening campaign, it still cannot cope with more powerful teams capable of fighting back. At the same time with outsiders CSKA understands skillfully.
In 19 meetings, the Moscow Army Men earned 21 points and are in sixth position in the Western Conference, one point ahead of SKA, which played a game less. Sergei Fedorov’s team is 2 points behind fifth place Sochi.

All forecasts for the KHL
After losing to Spartak (3:5), CSKA once again achieved a victory over Sochi (2:1). And the army team started the new week with a celebration of high performance, which became possible thanks to Kunlun (7:0).
“Locomotive”
Just recently, Lokomotiv had another unbeaten streak, which secured its status as the leader of the Western Conference. And although the recent defeat did not affect his position, the negative effect was obvious.
After 19 matches “Locomotive” remains first in the Western Conference with 29 points. However, the second Spartak is already breathing down their neck. Now the distance between these clubs is minimal – one point.
During the current period, the Yaroslavl team scored 55 goals. The most successful player is Maxim Shalunov (7+9). And if Lokomotiv’s attack looks ordinary compared to other Western representatives, then the defense remains the strongest in the championship (34 goals conceded).
In the period from October 9 to October 13, Lokomotiv achieved three victories in a row with a total score of 10:2, and the team’s confident streak was interrupted at the end of last week, on the territory of Avangard (1:4).
Odds
Bookmakers give odds for CSKA to win 2.24for a draw – 3.85and for Lokomotiv’s victory – 2.80.
Forecast
On the eve of a difficult trip to the capital, Lokomotiv was defeated by Avangard, which is not the norm for Igor Nikitin’s current team.
However, Yaroslavl is still the most powerful (or one of) representatives of the league, who skillfully read the game of serious opponents and act depending on the events at the rink, while achieving the desired results. This will be the case in the upcoming match, because with close competition with Spartak, Lokomotiv receives additional motivation.
Rate
CSKA can tear apart the outsiders as much as they want, but the game with Lokomotiv is a challenge on a different level. Our forecast and rate — Lokomotiv will win the match in 2.09.
With all their attacking power, the guests will not dare to play high-speed hockey against an opponent capable of punishing indiscretion in defense. Our alternative forecast is that Lokomotiv will not lose + TM 6.5 for 1.90.
