Avangard Lokomotiv. Forecast and bet: Nikitin will win in the first match at the helm of the railroad workers

Outcome betting

Andrey Skabelka was dismissed from his post as head coach of Lokomotiv on Saturday. Such a quick reprisal against trainers is not new for railway workers. Now the team will be headed by Igor Nikitin, but in the previous match against Salavat Yulaev he was not yet on the bench. Igor Valerievich makes his debut in the game with the rival “Avangard”, which ended the army chapter of his career, and now a new page begins.

Lokomotiv is in crisis, but the change of the coach can, if not bring it out of it, then at least give a short-term effect. “Vanguard” is a suitable opponent to start the ascent by defeating him. The team’s results at the start are not at all impressive. The hawks play extremely poorly against top clubs – only a victory over CSKA in the Opening Cup match. Bookmakers consider Avangard’s chances in the upcoming meeting to be slightly higher. But we will try to take a chance and take the victory of Lokomotiv in the match with a coefficient of 2.18.

Total bets

It should be noted that Avangard has become much stricter in defense – in the matches against Avtomobilist and Spartak they conceded only one goal. Lokomotiv, even under Andrei Skabelka, was, to put it mildly, not the most productive team in the KHL. Under Igor Nikitin, the game of railroad workers should become even stricter. In this match, a bet on total under 4.5 goals suggests itself with odds of 1.99.

Our rate

Lokomotiv wins the match with odds 2.18.
