Severstal is now very conscientiously trying to achieve his goal – to get into the top eight, and before the reporting match he is even in 7th position. Andrei Razin’s team, which defeated CSKA and Metallurg in the previous 2 matches, is clearly something to be praised for. But is it worth waiting for the continuation of this team’s winning banquet in the upcoming meeting? Well, it will be very difficult for the hosts to reverse this, because despite the impressive current move, we also have to reckon with the fact that Lokomotiv is now showing an exemplary game, and now even the giants can not oppose anything against Jaroslaw’s team. Here, the picture emerges that both teams are in great shape, but Lokomotiv’s higher class will certainly have an impact, and the visitors will be closer to a positive result.

The locomotive may play far and not the most spectacular hockey game, because frankly, the game is played from the bottom up. But in reality, this nuance allows them to be a top-quality team playing defense and letting much fewer other teams in the league pass. This season, Lokomotiv and Severstal have already met 4 times, and not all fights for Loko ended with certain victories, but nevertheless, the Yaroslavl team scored points in all these matches against Cherepovets. Well, in fact, even now it can be assumed that Lokomotiv should not be left without points scored, and Nikitin’s charges will arrange another high-quality meeting.
